1. A modular high-power converter system comprising:

  • an electronic power distribution unit configured to output an alternating current (AC) voltage to a power bus; and

    at least one Transmit or Receive Integrated Microwave Module (T/RIMM) configured to perform at least one of signal transmission or signal reception, the T/RIMM comprising;

    an electronic voltage converter unit including at least one alternating current-to-direct current converter (AC/DC) in signal communication with the power bus, the AC/DC configured to convert the AC voltage into a direct current (DC) voltage having a first DC voltage level,at least one electronic transmitter and receiver (T/R) unit in signal communication with the output of the AC/DC, the at least one T/R unit including a modular-based direct current-to-direct current (DC/DC) converter connected to the output of the AC/DC to convert the DC voltage into a second DC voltage having a second voltage different from the first voltage level,wherein the modular-based DC/DC converter includes a plurality of modular power converter units configured to generate the second DC voltage, each modular converter unit configured to be independently interchangeable with a different modular converter unit, each modular power converter unit configured to perform a different electronic power conversion operation with respect to one another, wherein each modular converter unit is configured to be independently removed without disconnecting the modular-based DC/DC converter.
