Weather radar has to detect turbulence and precipitation ahead of the aircraft in real time, while surviving the electrical transients a nose-mounted antenna array is exposed to. SM8S series TVS diodes clamp voltage spikes fast, rated to 175 °C for the heat behind the radome. Vishay's CH series high frequency thin film resistors handle signal terminations up to 50 GHz, keeping the radar's return signal accurate so pilots see the weather ahead before it becomes a problem.
Behind reliable weather radar is The DNA of tech.®
With over six decades of experience developing components designed to withstand high temperature and humidity conditions, Vishay's components are engineered to ensure exceptional reliability, featuring such qualifications as AEC-Q100, AEC-Q101, and AEC-Q200
