Abstract

PURPOSE:To keep a regular output or to prevent the output from being decreased by controlling a pulse width based on a VSWR and fault information of a high frequency power amplifier even when plural high frequency power amplifiers sending a synthesis output by pulse width modulation system are failed. CONSTITUTION:A fault detection circuit 7 detects a fault of each high frequency power amplifier and controls a pulse width of a pulse width modulation signal input subject to power amplification is controlled to increase the output in response to a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) from a VSWR detection circuit 6. For example, suppose that high frequency power amplifiers 3-1-3-6 of 2kW output are used continuously up to VSWR=2, 4kW being twice is available for output in the case of VSWR=1. Thus, in the case of VSWR=1, 10kW output is maintained up to two faulty amplifiers. That is, an output amplifier p1 of a high frequency amplifier after the control at two faulty amplifier is obtained as P1=3.75 from the relation of (4/6)<2>X6p1=10kw and the output reduction is regulated so as not to exceed the permissible maximum limit.
