Abrégé

A microwave generator for a plasma chemical vapor deposition, PCVD, system and a PVCVD system are disclosed. The microwave generator is configured to operate in a space environment. The microwave generator comprises a frequency source, a phase locked loop, PLL, a solid-state power amplifier, and an output connection. A controller of the microwave generator is configured to determine a state of the PCVD system based on an external input to the microwave generator and, adjust the output power of the amplified microwave signal based on the determined state of the PCVD system.
