Abstract
The paper addresses the high voltage drive for ionic motors on board of satellites. A modular solution for HV generators driving the radio-frequency ion thrusters is proposed taking into account the peculiarities of the plasma load. The dynamic characteristics of the HV power cells are described all over their operating ranges. Analytic results and computer simulations show suitability of the devices for reaching sufficient stability margins through appropriate feedback.
