TID induced source-drain leakage is suppressed by a junction isolation (JI) of the source drain regions using silicide blocked well regions. To decrease the susceptibility against SEU we introduced a redundancy on transistor level, where each MOS transistor is replaced by a stack of two spatially separated single transistors which share a common gate (CG). The radiation hardness and device performance of the novel JICG MOS transistors fabricated in IHP's 250 nm SGB25RH technology were evaluated.","PeriodicalId":141916,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Topical Workshop on Internet of Space (TWIOS)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122075011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Even the very conservative and slow changing space industry has identified the benefits of reconfigurable radio systems and uses SDRs on satellites and space vehicles. Nevertheless, those systems are mostly inapplicable for lower- and mid-class mission, or are often limited in performance, reliability and are only available for a specific frequency band. This paper presents the approach for a reliable and highly integrated Generic Software Defined-Radio (GSDR) platform design, using state-of-the-art RF transceiver devices to provide multi-band applications on spacecraft. Design challenges under radiation environments for this GSDR platform are discussed and results of a pre-evolution test under selected radiation condition on a prototype are presented.","PeriodicalId":141916,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Topical Workshop on Internet of Space (TWIOS)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125765460","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For instance, they can provide system status, diagnostics, and control. In this work, the systems engineering is presented for IoT sensors and controllers for commercial aircraft which use satellites for backhaul connectivity. The system context is developed which shows the internal connections as well as system level external connections. An important part of a baseline selection is the analysis of alternatives which can provide system baseline options that are subjected to trade study analysis. Several alternatives are analyzed for major parts of the system such as internet connectivity to the aircraft, data transmission within the aircraft, and satellite orbits. The system configurations are analyzed and the trade study is used to select the preferred baseline configuration. Key subsystems are examined to determine if advanced engineering development efforts are required. The sensors are organized by clusters and each cluster is connected to optical fiber for transmission of data within the aircraft. Optical fiber is used for the weight savings over copper wire and reduced electromagnetic coupling effects. The data from multiple clusters is aggregated together and transmitted to the backhaul. The data is then distributed to stakeholders for analysis using cloud based storage and computing. The result is that a baselines system concept is selected from the alternatives and advanced engineering development efforts are defined.","PeriodicalId":141916,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Topical Workshop on Internet of Space (TWIOS)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127229045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
