Glenair RF assemblies for space applications include both laboratory and test equipment, as well as flight-grade systems for space vehicles and satellites. Glenair
RF connectors and cables are optimized for use in telemetry systems vital for the transmission of data and command controls between satellite and ground stations. Other applications include satellite navigation, altitude and orbit control, and interconnection of antenna arrays with transponders and other electronics. Coax cable jacket options for space include FEP and radiation-resistant space-grade ETFE.
The primary use of RF in the subsea oil and gas industry is for data transmission between subsea factory and underwater ROV sensors and instrument assets, and onshore and rig facilities for analysis and monitoring. This includes transmitting data sets such as pressure and temperature readings essential to the safe operation of the installation. RF communication is also used to transmit images and video from underwater cameras and other imaging systems.
Systems
RF technology is ubiquitous in land- based systems including cable and interconnect interfaces
to ground vehicle antennas, soldier communication
systems, hand-held and vehicle console radios, radar, and IED countermeasures.
