AN/URT-23A(V) Power Supply Feasibility Study.
Abstract
This report was prepared as part of a study to develop an advanced communications center for the SSN(X) submarine. The objective was to determine the feasibility of replacing or modifying the 400-Hz power supply of the URT-23A(V) high frequency transmitting set to permit operation from 60-Hz power without the external power supply. The feasibility of powering the transmitter set with the same power supply and dc or 400-Hz sources was also of concern. Block diagrams of the 60- and 400-Hz power supply configurations were created and used in studying the power requirements of the transmitter set. Power requirements and consumption estimates were made for the major functions of the transmitter set. This information was used in paper designs for two switching mode power supplies and the inverter power supply. These designs were used in the selection of parts that would satisfy the design parameters. The dimensions of the selected parts were used in estimating the volume of a hypothetical power supply configuration. Results indicate that it is possible to replace the 400-Hz power supply in the rf amplifier with a power supply that increases the height of the rf amplifier by 2.2 inches, operates from dc, 60- or 400-Hz power, and opens up 70 cubic inches in the rf amplifier for future growth. The report recommends that the feasibility of the proposed supply design be demonstrated by building a breadboard model that can operate from DoD-STD-1399, section 300 shipboard power and satisfy the power requirements of the transmitter set.
