Abstract:

This paper discusses the applicability of CMOS (sub)-mm-Wave System-on-Chips in space explorations of the solar system, especially planetary missions. Specifically assessed are issues related to high levels of radiation encountered in deep space. To exemplify the type of technology infusion that is possible, we specifically feature the incorporation of a previously developed “self-healing” 12/48 GHz CMOS frequency synthesizer into a current planetary sub-mm-wave (or Terahertz) heterodyne receiver instrument (PISSARRO) for the substantial benefit of payload size, area and weight reduction.
