AEROSPACE / WHITE PAPER CONNECTING THE FUTURE OF FLIGHT 19 Sensor Fusion VALUE Autonomous flight control systems require multi-sensor data fusion that can handle movement in three dimensions. Inputs from different RF and electro-optical sensors must be integrated with radar and signal processing technologies along with I/O from multiple wired and wireless sensor nodes and networks. Integrating inputs from all sensors (sensor fusion) enables more accurate and dependable UAM prototype testing during takeoff, hovering, forward flight, and landing. TE TECHNOLOGIES FOR SENSORS • Multisensor AmbiMate sensor module MS4 series is an application-specific set of sensors on a ready-to-attach PCB assembly for easy integration into a host product. The design process is accelerated by integrating the MS4 series pre-engineered with a four-core sensor solution for motion/light/temperature/ humidity into the product. • Pressure sensor products encompass sensing elements with system packaging for harsh environments. Standard and custom pressure sensors are available from board-level components to fully amplified and packaged transducers. Based on piezoresistive Micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and silicon strain gauge (Microfused, Krystal Bond) technology. • Rate, inertial & gyro sensors are employed in electronic test and measurement systems, such as inertial sensors, rate sensors, and rate gyroscopes for demanding robotics, biomechanics, and other testing environments. • Temperature-sensor offering includes negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors, resistance thermometer detectors (RTDs), thermocouples, and thermopiles • Antenna products include a wide range of antenna types, many available in moldable composite forms. Multiband, wideband antennas yield fewer antennas per platform. Wi-Fi 6E antenna product portfolio supports triple bands, including the new 6 GHz band, along with widely used 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi frequency bands.
