Response of geostationary communications satellite solid-state power amplifiers to high-energy electron fluence

The key components in communications satellite payloads are the high-power amplifiers that amplify the received signal so that it can be accurately transmitted to the intended end user. In this study, we examine 26 amplifier anomalies and quantify the high-energy electron environment for periods of...
