As sensors become more ubiquitous and the demand
for reliable data processing and transmission
becomes more necessary, semiconductors have
become the backbone of modern aircraft. Within
aircraft, semiconductors take on many forms,
including the sensors themselves, the computing
resources that interpret sensor data, and the signal
chain constituents that ensure safe and reliable
data transmission.
For instance, weather radar systems with phased
array antennas utilize advanced semiconductor
technologies to capture and process environmental
information. These systems rely heavily on
THE
SEMICONDUCTOR
REVOLUTION
IN AVIONICS
Semiconductor advancements are
revolutionizing the avionics industry by
enabling unprecedented performance,
efficiency, and reliability. The development
of high-performance, low-power
semiconductors enables the creation of
more sophisticated and integrated avionics
systems, which enhance the capabilities of
modern aircraft."
