The Military + Aerospace Electronics Innovators Awards honors developers of the most influential enabling technologies for aerospace and defense applications. These technologies actually solve design problems, often for which there was no known solution before or where the challenge was particularly difficult.
Awards range from platinum, the highest, to the gold awards, and finally to the silver awards -- and are based on recommendations from an independent panel of industry judges.
RF+ SiPs from Spectrum Control are an ideal solution to complement high speed direct sampling devices
