A 0.8 μm SOI CMOS On-Board Data Handling Bus Modem for Satellite Applications

摘要

This paper presents a 500 kBit/s modem for space applications, designed for interfacing the satellite equipment with the On-Board Data Handling (OBDH) bus system. The 28 mm~2 chip, fabricated in a 0.8 μm SOI radiation-hard CMOS process, achieves a bit-error rate as low as 10~(-14) with 120 mV_(RMS) of noise consuming 64 mW from a 5 V power supply.
