India, May 6 -- NEXT Semiconductor Technologies is collaborating with BAE Systems to accelerate the insertion of its latest ultra-wideband antenna processor units (APUs) into high-performing radiation-hardened electronic subsystems to support future space missions.

NEXT's APUs combine agile signal acquisition and generation with on-board high-reliability, reconfigurable digital processing that offer unprecedented quantity, quality and efficiency of information processing for next generation satellite sensors and transmitters. This effort will enable efficient and resilient wideband RF (radio-frequency) signal processing capabilities not yet available to the space market.

NEXT's latest APU, the NX450, is the world's first 200 GS/s (200 b...
