COTS Components in Space Systems: Benefits and Risks

Usage of COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) or PEM / PED (Plastic Encapsulated Microcircuits) of Electronic parts in High Reliability applications offers many benefits: Cost advantage for large volumes or low reliability/low Radiation application where risks might be taken. Performance advantage if the performance is not obtainable by classical High-Reliability components Shorter lead times but…

Waves and Frequency Ranges

The spectrum of electromagnetic waves has frequencies up to 1024 Hz. This very large range is subdivided into different subranges due to different physical properties. The subdivision of the frequencies into the different ranges was previously measured according to criteria that were historically developed and are now obsolete, and so a new classification of the frequency…

MMIC Design

A Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit, or MMIC is a type of integrated circuit (IC) device that operates at microwave frequencies (300 MHz to 300 GHz) and fabricated using gallium arsenide (GaAs), a III-V compound semiconductor. These devices typically perform functions such as microwave mixing, power amplification, low-noise amplification, and high-frequency switching. Inputs and outputs on MMIC…
