Direct RF sampling offers significant advantages for avionic platforms, including simplified system architectures, reduced size and weight, and enhanced signal fidelity. By digitizing signals closer to the antenna, this approach minimizes the need for analog components and enables more flexible, software-defined capabilities.
However, challenges remain, such as managing high data rates, power consumption, and thermal performance. As technology advances, companies like Jariet Technologies are helping overcome these barriers by delivering high-speed data converters optimized for the demanding environments of aerospace and defense applications.
