Development of high-quality energy supply of radio receiving devices is an urgent task. The article discusses the methods of designing high-frequency multi-channel power converters based on high-frequency magnetic amplifiers, the magnetic cores of which are made of an amorphous alloy with a rectangular hysteresis loop. Their significant advantages when powering radio receiving devices are the high quality of the output voltages and the low level of electromagnetic interference, both radiated and conductive. At the same time, they have a higher level of dynamic characteristics, reliability and efficiency while reducing their topological complexity and cost. In addition, it allows the implementation of multi-channel power converters with equivalent and independent output channels in a wide range of output powers. The paper presents the implementation of such a converter for powering radio receiving devices.
