Description
This talks is devoted to the design, development and verification of a novel SDR platform for space applications. Due to the required performance, a use of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) devices is unavoidable. The design presents a new risk assessment approach for the use of COTS components in critical space applications, with a specific focus on radiation effects. Key-technology devices of the SDR have been evaluated for radiation effects and finally a complete system-level verification has been performed at CHARM with its unique mixed-field radiation environment and at KVI under proton irradiation.
