Abstract
The conceptual design of the 1 MW X-band transmit system for the Goldstone Solar System Radar represents the next step in the quest to expand planetary radar exploration. The radar transmitter requirements are summarized. The characteristics and expected performance of the major elements are discussed, including the klystrons, power amplifiers, microwave transmission lines, feed systems, beam power supply, heat exchanger, phase stable exciter, and the monitor/control system. An assessment of the technology development needed to meet the system requirements is given, and possible areas of difficulty are outlined.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
