The radiation hardening of communication equipment
Abstract
The hardening of communication equipment against ionizing and electromagnetic radiation is examined with reference to the effects of nuclear explosions, the operation of nuclear power plants, and the effects of radiation on spacecraft systems. Published studies concerning the effects of ionizing radiation on communication equipment (circuits, networks, and semiconductor components) are reviewed. Particular consideration is given to the main characteristics of the radiation environment; the design of hardened equipment; related optimization methods; and the use of mathematical modeling to evaluate radiation stability during the design stages.
