Qualification methodology for Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit for wireless-based platforms in radiation environments
Résumé
This work presents a testing methodology for the Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit (RFIC) front-end used in the implementation of Software-Defined Radio (SDR). The methodology studies the impact of the Total Ionizing Dose (TID) and Single Event Effects (SEE) on the device’s characteristics and the communication link. The methodology evaluates TID effects through the analysis of the Error Vector Magnitude (EVM), showing the impact when using different algorithms for data recovery. Two communication schemes based on QPSK and QAM modulation are used to evaluate SEE both on the analog and digital circuitry. The methodology is applied to the AD9361 Transceiver.
