The Microelectronics Fabrication of VHF Systems

Abstract

The need for microelectronics in aerospace systems arises from demands for increased reliability and payload. Much existing equipment can be converted to microelectronics without extensive redesign, without sacrificing reliability, and without increasing circuit fabrication costs. This paper discusses the problems and techniques involved in converting a specific VHF subsystem, and the practicality of achieving this at competitive costs under an accelerated schedule.
