Abstract

Modern satellite systems require integrated circuits capable of meeting performance,power consumption,price, radiation and integration requirements.As satellite systems evolve to large digital payloads with phased array antennae, highly integrated mixed signal and RF ICs are becoming critical to overall system performance.Integration is also critical to reducing size,mass and cost.Ultra-Thin-Silicon,or UTSi,CMOS is a modern,high yield silicon on sapphire technology which provides natural radiation hardness with high volume commercial CMOS manufacturing.We discuss previously unavailable levels of RF mixed signal and optical integration and potential future applications.
