Radiation Hardening for Advanced System Protection
In the unforgiving environments of space, nuclear facilities, and high-altitude aviation, electronics face a relentless adversary: ionizing radiation. A single failure can jeopardize entire missions, disrupt operations, and incur massive costs. That’s why radiation hardening isn’t just a precaution, it’s a necessity.
Radiation hardening is the process of making electronic components or systems resistant to damage or malfunction caused by ionized radiation. At Electro Magnetic Applications, Inc. (EMA), we specialize in delivering unmatched resilience through advanced simulation and analysis.
Advanced Radiation Modeling
EMA consultants leverage Ansys Charge Plus to predict how systems behave under radiation exposure, enabling proactive design decisions that safeguard performance from launch to landing.
Our radiation hardening workflows include:
- Monte Carlo particle transport for accurate radiation modeling
- Ray-tracing dose estimation to visualize exposure paths
- Surface and internal charging analysis to prevent ESD and arcing
- Dielectric breakdown prediction to ensure material integrity
Charge Plus employs Monte Carlo particle transport models to actively track particles and simulate ionization, scattering, bremsstrahlung, energy deposition, and charge deposition processes. Model a wide range of particle types including electrons, protons, photons, neutrons, and ions across multiple geometries such as spherical, planar, and localized surfaces. The tool calculates key results such as charge density, total ionizing and non-ionizing doses, linear energy transfer, and flux density, delivering precise and actionable data for advanced particle transport analysis.
