Radiation-Hardened Solid State Relays Replace
Electro-Mechanical Relays in High Reliability Systems
IR’s RAD-Hard™ solid state relays (SSRs) for high reliability
(hi-rel) applications are radiation–hardened and hermetically sealed
devices designed to improve reliability by replacing electro-mechanical
relays in power bus switching, heater control circuits, battery charging
and other hi-rel applications. These devices are available in single,
dual or octal SPST NO (single pole, single throw, normally open [Form
A]) type with current ratings of 1.5A to 20A at 60V to 100V in alternate
style packages for flange mounting. Click

Northrop Grumman Corp. has officially opened its United
Kingdom technical support center to provide service, repair, and
maintenance for the company’s inertial navigation systems (INS) used
in Royal Navy ships and submarines.
The quad-channel ADC513 field-programmable-gate-array (FPGA)
mezzanine card (FMC/VITA 57) module features a 1.5-GSamples/s
analog-to-digital-converter (ADC) card with 8-b resolution for demanding
RF downconversion, software-defined-radio (SDR), and signal-intelligence
applications.
The C5100 series of 5000-W 3U and 5U plug-in DC/DC and AC/DC
converter modules from Schaefer is available in three standard DC input
voltage ranges from 320 to 800 VDC and 3 x 400 and 3 x 480 VAC
configurations.
RF Engines Ltd. has been contracted by SELEX Galileo to
develop a new algorithm and the optimum architecture for determining the
fine time of arrival (TOA) of certain classified signals.
Fidelity Technologies Corp. has been listed as one of the
companies selected for the second Simulation, Training and
Instrumentations Omnibus contract (STOC II) by the US Army Program
Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO
STRI).
The US Army has selected Rockwell Collins as the prime
contractor to provide an integrated video display system for the
engineering and manufacturing development phase of the Mounted Soldier
System (MSS) program, which initially includes M1-A2 SEP V2, M2-A3
Bradley, M3-A3 Bradley and M113 Medical Evacuation Variant
vehicles.
The MSW2000 series of silicon PIN diode switches from
Aeroflex/Metelics offers power-handling capabilities of 100 W CW over
frequency bands of 20 to 700 MHz and 400 to 4000 MHz.
The model E8257D signal generator from Agilent Technologies
now offers an option for more than 1 W (+30 dBm) output power from 250
MHz to 20 GHz (and usable down to 10 MHz).
