SpaceWire is a standard for a communication interface in a satellite. It reduces a wiring cost for building a network. However, it becomes the complicated topology when we design the network architecture that considered Peer to Peer, a redundancy, etc. Furthermore, a component can share a line with the other components. Therefore, traffics generated by a component will effect to the other traffics. It is difficult to estimate traffics on a network. Additionally, estimating impacts on SpaceWire network by errors related to internal registers and buffers are difficult because SpaceWire has more complex protocol than that of the other communication interfaces such as MIL-STD-1553b. We developed a simulator based on NS-3 to simulate VHDL models with virtual network. We divide a SpaceWire network into function blocks (internal registers, buffers, communication lines etc), and evaluate impacts on each function block by faults. In this paper, we describe simulation results and propose necessary quality of each function block for fault tolerance system with SpaceWire.
In this article, we apply sub-terahertz waves to imaging a target about 1 meter away from the measurement equipment and evaluate image quality for non-destructive inspection. We show the results of imaging a range of items with sub-terahertz waves and confirm that some of them are penetrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
