摘要： A high power amplifier may amplify an RF or microwave input signal. The amplifier may include: an input signal divider (DIV) that has an input port for the input signal and that divides this input signal into multiple sub-input signals; multiple power amplifier units (PAUs), each having an input port for receiving one of the sub-input signals and an output port for delivering an amplified version of the received signal; multiple power supply units (PSUs), each connected to power a different one of the PAUs; and an interface control unit (ICU). The ICU may: monitor each PSU to verify that it is operating within one or more pre-determined PSU specifications; and upon detecting that a PSU is no longer operating within the one or more pre-determined PSU specification (malfunctioning PSU), set the PAU being powered by the malfunctioning PSU (online PAU in online mode) not to amplify one of the sub-input signals and not to be available for being switched to the online mode (offline mode of offline PAU).
