mplementing commercial processes into the design of space electronics is a desirable, cost-effective way to leverage existing advanced packaging technologies derived from consumer electronics products. Demands for faster, better, lighter, and cheaper products have led to many innovative designs in commercial electronics, most noticeably in the telecommunications sector. But directly employing c...

A range of varistors, in terms of break down voltage, is required to protect integrated circuits, automotive systems and other modern electronics against transient over-voltages. There is a progressing need for the development and advancement of rugged and reliable varistor capable and proficient of working in harsh and callous environment like automotive industry where greater than before use ...

A general strategy to impart mechanical stretchability to stretchable electronics involves engineering materials into special architectures to accommodate or eliminate the mechanical strain in nonstretchable electronic materials while stretched. We introduce an all solution-processed type of electronics and sensors that are rubbery and intrinsically stretchable as an outcome from all the elasto...

In this work, we describe some recent results concerning the application of Resistive Plate Chambers operated in avalanche mode at atmospheric pressure for high-resolution time-of-flight measurements. A combination of multiple, mechanically accurate, thin gas gaps and state-of-the-art electronics yielded an overall (detector plus electronics) timing accuracy better than 50 ps s with a detection...

The public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information . Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, inclu...

and power efficiency for AJT = 0 which is typical for noncoherent receivers (cf. [3]). Thus, in practice, N has to be optimised with respect to the maximum expected frequency offset Af,,,. This also ensures an acceptable performance for smaller frequency offsets IAfl I Afmax. Optimisation with respect to a mean frequency offset Af,,,, is not recommended since a large performance degradation may...

Due to the fact that the LAND TOF wall electronics are not very reliable after many years and various components are out of maintenance, a new timing measurement setup is needed. For that reason a modified version of a current in-house development (TACQUILA [1]) for timing measurements comes into consideration for replacement. For remote parameterization of this new LAND TOF wall timing measure...

For the fixed-target heavy-ion experiment CBM at FAIR, a low-mass silicon tracking detector system is being developed that can track at high rates the hundreds of charged particles that will be created when an intense beam of heavy nuclei interacts with the target [1]. The detector is based on silicon microstrip detector technology. Fast self-triggering front-end electronics will be located at ...

Data exchange is very important in electrical and electronics engineering applications. The exchange needs to be reliable, error-free and adaptable to different types of software used in the related industries. In power community, IEEE common format, WSCC format, and PTI’s PCI format have been used extensibly to date with almost no problem for data exchange purposes. As the industry goes under ...

In this effort, advanced measurement methods that use microelectronic test chips are described. These chips are intended to be used in acquiring the data needed to qualify Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) for space use. This work represents the collaborative effort of integrated-circuit (IC) parts specialists, device physicists, test-chip engineers, and fault-tolerant-circuit de...
