Satellite Battery Testing in Aerospace and Defense Solution Brief

Satellite solar cell validation is essential for ensuring mission readiness, but traditional test methods using 2-wire connections can introduce significant errors when the measured resistance is comparable to the test leads, slow test cycles, and limit reproducibility.

This application note introduces an alternative approach: emulating IV characteristics using a Source / Measure Unit (SMU).

Discover how Aerospace and Defense engineers are improving test accuracy across IV parameters and characteristics (short circuit current, open circuit voltage, and maximum power point) while accelerating accurate, high-resolution current versus voltage measurements and delivering 6.5-digit sourcing and measurement resolution, along with source and measure resolution down to 10 fA and 100 nV.
