Since the Industry 4.0 concept was introduced into the market, factories and manufacturing processes have experienced different transformations to make them smarter, by linking various up to now isolated disciplines, from design to production, automated inspections, embedded...
This study aims to support the development of discrete European radiation hardened SiC power MOSFET for use in space applications by means of studying the gate oxide in terms of SEE and TID as one of the key parameters in the future development of these devices. The resistance...
The new century brought to the space a new type of solar cells with higher efficiencies and better resistance to radiation damage such as those based on the III-V single-junction GaAs. This new material opened the possibility of further improvement by the development of the...
The objective of this activity is to examine the suitability of solid state fiber optic switches to meet future space applications and define a complete technology development and space qualification roadmap for the most suitable solid state optical switch technology for future...
The use of differential (or balanced) digital and analog circuits for information processing has increased in recent years . When transmitting high-speed electrical signals, both the electromagnetic (EM) fields generated by the transmitted signals and the ground plane return...
Surface contamination involving micrometric particles, microbiological agents, molecular adsorbate and others, represent a significant hazard in many areas of industry. For instance, a high level cleanliness is a critical requirement that any EEE device has to fulfil at any...
A compact balanced-to-balanced diplexer composed of two balanced bandpass filters is proposed in this letter. The balanced filters are implemented using compact edge-coupled square split-ring resonators. The design methodology is based on the standard coupled-resonators filter...
New space missions include more extreme requirements of storage and operational temperatures and vacuum conditions exceeding standard -55ºC / +125ºC conditions Miniaturization implies increase higher power dissipation and hence max junction and PCB temperatures.
Traditionally ASICs (and FPGAs) used in space were manufactured using Rad-Hard technologies and designed with special libraries. AS CMOS Technologies became denser (beyond the 180 nm node) it was realized that it was no longer affordable to change the semiconductor technology...
Space radiation environment is an important failure causing factor in space vehicles. Traditional reliability prediction method did not include the space radiation environment reliability. It’s the time to set up a method of space radiation environment reliability prediction.
1. Admissible methods for SEE testing were determined on accounts of their realization at Roscosmos Test Facilities. 2. The SEE Testing Aids (based on ions, proton and laser sources) were created and are currently in operation. 3. The Roscosmos Testing Aids provide tests for all...
Many basic testers availables which offer the capability to carry out a test in a rather short delay (a few weeks) at a relatively low cost. Capability to develop on demand test setup for complex devices (μP High frequency devices, RF fixtures etc…) higher cost driven by the...
