Space weather radiation effects on geostationary satellite solid-state power amplifiers by Lohmeyer, W. Q., Cahoy, K. L.

“…Our observations suggest that internal charging from either past elevated radiation belt fluxes or some conditions related to relativistic electron enhancements (either causally or accidentally) is most likely responsible for the SSPA anomalies. We next consider the timing of these anomalies with respect to the local time (LT) and season. …”
