This report contains a summary of the design and development problems and a detailed theoretical discussion of the Supergroup Carrier Amplifier. The Supergroup Carrier Amplifier was designed and developed to increase the load capability of up to six supergroup carrier frequencies, supply each of the six supergroup carrier frequencies to two supergroup modulators or, by proper strapping, supply each of two supergroup carrier frequencies to six supergroup modulators. The predicted Mean-Time-Between-Failure of the Supergroup Carrier Amplifier is 3330 hours with an estimated Point Availability of 99.992 percent. (Author)
