Power Supplies for Arctic Radio Repeater Systems
This feasibility study assesses various long-lived, self-contained 30-watt power supplies for an Arctic Radio Repeater System. The study involves a review of the state-of-the-art, availability and cost of five candidate systems; batteries, fuel cells, radioisotopic thermoelectric generators, fueled...
