RF Switch Matrix/Signal Conditioning Challenge: Surviving And Thriving In A Thermal Vacuum Chamber
This is the second in a series of guest columns by Bob Alman of SenarioTek.

Many applications today require test equipment to be both high performance and high reliability. However, testing inside a thermal vacuum (TVAC) chamber may be one of the most extreme situations. Satellites require high-performance test solutions to ensure they meet their stringent specifications once in orbit. In order to ensure their performance in space, they are tested in TVAC chambers.
