Abstract :
This paper describes the radiation susceptibility testing and analysis of a miniaturised space Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver for small satellite applications. Tests on commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) parts included total ionising dose (TID), single-event effect (SEE) testing and receiver operational effects under heavy ion exposure.
