Flight Hardware Packaging Design for Stringent EMC Radiated Emission Requirements
Read More >>
This design can be used for any electronic package that needs to meet stringent electromagnetic interference/ electromagnetic compatibility (EMI/EMC) environments.
This packaging design approach can help heritage hardware meet a flight project’s stringent EMC radiated emissions requirement. The approach re quires only minor modifications to a ...Read More >>
An Offload NIC for NASA, NLR, and Grid Computing
Read More >>
New acceleration engine provides the functions of network acceleration, encryption, compression, packet-ordering, and security.
This work addresses distributed data management and access — dynamically configurable high-speed access to data distributed and shared over wide-area high-speed network environments. An offload engine NIC (network interface card) is proposed that scales at ...Read More >>
RF Reference Switch for Spaceflight Radiometer Calibration
The goal of this technology is to provide
improved calibration and measurement
sensitivity to the Soil Moisture Active
Passive Mission (SMAP) radiometer. While
RF switches have been used in the past to
calibrate microwave radiometers, the
switch used on SMAP employs several
techniques uniquely tailored to the instrument
requirements and ...
