Aerospace & Exploration: Systems that extend the frontier

Aerospace & Exploration examines how advanced electronics are enabling the next era of flight, satellite systems, and space exploration. From high-performance semiconductors and RF technologies to advanced sensing and communications, the series explores the innovations helping aerospace and defense systems operate with greater precision, connectivity, and reliability in the most demanding environments.

S1: EPISODE 1

Beyond the signal

From tracking objects on Earth to observing targets in the sky, radar is becoming more precise, powerful, and intelligent. Qorvo takes focus through modern X-band radar, exploring how advances in RF semiconductors, phased arrays, and integrated systems are expanding capabilities across defense, aerospace, communications, and exploration.


S1: EPISODE 2

Connecting new space

A new space race is taking shape as expanding satellite constellations transform how we communicate, navigate, observe Earth, and explore beyond it. Drawing on decades of space heritage, Knowles explores the RF and microwave technologies connecting LEO, GEO, and deep-space missions, and how emerging COTS-in-space approaches are helping make the next generation of space systems more scalable and capable.


S1: EPISODE 3

The next era

The final episode looks at the technologies shaping the future of aerospace and exploration. From intelligent sensing and global communications to autonomy and miniaturization, innovations developed for demanding aerospace and defense environments are enabling more capable aircraft, expanding satellite networks, and new possibilities for exploration.
