Abstract
An RF signals amplification block receives a first RF signal, and comprises means of amplification of this first RF signal so as to deliver a second, amplified, RF signal. This signal must be amplified by a predetermined nominal power so as to be delivered at the output of the block. The block comprises means of measurement of the power of the second, amplified, RF signal, means of coupling the amplified RF signal to a first output of the block, a control signal generated by a central processing unit for controlling the coupling means. The invention also relates to an RF signals transmission device intended to be arranged at the focus of RF signals focusing means comprising a block according to the invention and an RF signals transmission antenna/terminal. Particular application to the tracking of nonsynchronous satellites.
