A variant of the RF switch matrix for the test chain of an Earth-observation microwave radiometer, for a European space prime contractor.
Two things differ from the first application: operation goes through an HMI served by an on-board web server, and the unit ships CE marked — that is, with technical file, risk analysis and declaration of conformity, which on a laboratory unit is not paperwork but the condition for admitting it to a manned integration hall.
The same switching architecture was carried across two different programmes. IN SY TO held component responsibility: design and AIT.
