Abstract
A method for operating an amplifier module of a communication satellite involves saving at least one configuration parameter of the amplifier module in a non-volatile memory designed to store the configuration parameter when the amplifier module is not energized. The configuration parameter can be loaded from the non-volatile memory and used to configure the amplifier module.
Claims15
A method for operating an amplifier module of a communication satellite, the method comprising the steps of:
- saving, by the communication satellite, a configuration parameter of the amplifier module in a non-volatile memory that is configured to store the configuration parameter when the amplifier module is not energized;
- loading, by the communication satellite, the configuration parameter from the non-volatile memory after the amplifier module is energized;
- configuring, by the communication satellite, the amplifier module as a function of the loaded configuration parameter.
An amplifier module of a communication satellite, the amplifier module comprising:
- an amplifier unit;
- and
- a control unit coupled to the amplifier unit and configured to drive the amplifier unit;
- wherein the control unit comprises a non-volatile, writable memory that is configured to store a configuration parameter of the amplifier module when the amplifier module is not energized by an external power supply.
An amplifier module of a communication satellite, the amplifier module comprising:
- an amplifier unit;
- and
- a control unit coupled to the amplifier unit and configured to drive the amplifier unit, wherein the control unit comprises a non-volatile, writable memory,
- wherein the control unit is configured to
- save configuration parameter of the amplifier module in the non-volatile memory when the amplifier module is not energized;
- load the configuration parameter from the non-volatile memory after the amplifier module is energized;
- configure the amplifier module as a function of the loaded configuration parameter.
