What you'll learn
- The expansion of European infrared, optronic and radio-frequency electronics has concentrated attention on detectors, read-out circuits and semiconductor content, where the technology is visibly sophisticated and the policy language is already fluent.
- Below that level sits a class of components whose apparent simplicity has made it almost invisible to procurement analysis.
- Sensitive devices must be connected to the outside world, protected from moisture and contaminants, and in a growing number of applications held under a controlled internal atmosphere or a vacuum, while the assembly continues to meet its thermal, electrical and mechanical requirements.
