我们已经开发了一个紧凑的和机械坚固的可重构微波开关矩阵以及外围组件的卫星应用，使用低温共烧陶瓷技术（LTCC）。为了验证该技术的空间应用，我们将这些组件组合在一起，构建了一个系统，该系统能够在空间中自动验证开关矩阵，并通过了完整的空间认证。分析了2012年7月22日发射的德国测试卫星TET-1（技术实验载体）上为期一年的在轨验证（OOV）使命期间迄今为止获得的数据。整个开关矩阵系统的正确操作和可靠性，因此所使用的技术进行了论证。
We have developed a compact and mechanically robust reconfigurable microwave switch matrix as well as peripheral components for satellite applications using the low temperature co-fired ceramics technology (LTCC). In order to verify the technology for space applications, we combined these components to build a system that enables automated verification of the switch matrix in space and passed a full space qualification. Data obtained up to now during a one year On-Orbit-Verification (OOV) mission aboard the German test satellite TET-1 (technology experiment carrier) launched on July 22, 2012, is analysed. The correct operation and reliability of the entire switch matrix system and hence the technology used is demonstrated.
