Radio Frequency / Digital Electronics
Impact Technologies is developing a real-time diagnostic/prognostic system to assess the remaining useful life of Radio Frequency/ Digital (RF/D) systems. RF/D technology applications range from digital telephony, wireless networking and emergency radio systems to telemetry and health monitoring systems.
Impact's ‘circuit as sensor’ concept is an innovative PHM solution that minimizes or eliminates the need for additional sensor and data acquisition equipment to implement PHM on RF/D systems. System level features and device functionality data provide failure prediction and RUL estimation. Conventional Prognostic and Health Management (PHM) refined with Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) and mathematical physics of failure models help analyze parameter degradation resulting from damage accumulation for each device. These derived prognostic features update life usage and failure progression models upon which classifiers and inference engines deliver the overall health prognosis.
