The link budgets \nwere done assuming just a little bit more than 1/2 watt apiece.\n\nFor 1/2 watt each, we get 18 W of RF, and assuming 40% efficiency, 45 \nWatts DC. Maximum heat load = 27W.\n\nFor 1 Watt each, we need 90 Watts DC input to generate 36 output. \nMaximum heat load = 54W.\n\n\nMatt\n\n", "attachments": [] }
