Due to the tight installation space, strict weight requirements, numerous functional units and dense wireless equipments of small-size spacecraft, the traditional electronic system design of aircraft cannot meet the requirements of miniaturization and lightweight for small-size spacecraft. In this paper, a highly integrated electronic system suitable for small-size spacecraft is designed, in which many key technologies such as miniaturization and lightweight design technology, multi frequency wireless electromagnetic compatibility design technology, small aircraft low delay cooperative networking and high-precision differential positioning are adopted. The proposed highly integrated electronic system makes timing control, attitude and orbit control, wireless telemetry, networking communication, satellite navigation, power distribution and other functions integrated. The total weight of the system is about 7.62kg, which is much lighter than existing electronic system. The experiment results that the highly integrated electronic system achieves good effect. This technology has broad application prospects in small-size aircraft with strict weight and space requirements.

AbstractThe approach of functional integration has the potential to solve challenges regarding lightweight design and resource efficiency since the number of parts and therefore the weight and needed installation space can be reduced. One important step in developing integrative concepts is the pre-selection of suitable functions or components. Previous methods of pre-selection take various aspects into account. However, pre-selection based on these methods usually requires additional tables and forms, whose preparation and editing quickly becomes time-consuming. At the same time, most of the development engineers are working on CAD models. However, their use in the selection of suitable integration partners is not yet supported sufficiently. The development of more than 80 concepts on five different vehicles has shown that the consideration of geometric properties (position, orientation, size) is effective, as they can be identified with minimal analysis effort while working on CAD. In this paper a four-step procedure is presented how integration partners can be identified directly on the basis of CAD models. A following evaluation with development engineers in practice completes the research.

In the paper it will be presented the history of electric vehicles (EVs), compared to conventional combustion engine cars. Environmental impacts produced the necessity of a cleaner transportation by reintroducing electrical cars in the automotive market. By increasing the EVs used in transportation, the level of pollution is decreased, but some major issues concerning electromagnetic compatibility are raised. The ambient electromagnetic field was described, focusing on simulation of a MV power distribution line. Afterwards, it was analyzed the electromagnetic interaction between an electric vehicle and the power distribution line, simulating the magnetic field distribution.

An automotive junction box distributes electric power to electric systems installed in a vehicle with overcurrent protection. As a larger number of electric systems are installed, the junction box is equipped with more components, functionalities and connections. However, owing to the fuse accessibility, its installation space is so restricted that a downsized design is required for the junction box. The junction box is composed of small signal circuitry for control and monitoring, and large current-carrying circuitry for power distribution which includes many parallel traces. Because of these unique features, widely used techniques for downsizing printed-circuit boards are not applicable. Also, there is no rule for designing large current-carrying parallel traces, and it is difficult to optimize the size of the printed-circuit board for the automotive junction box. This paper presents the design rules for a printed-circuit board when downsizing a junction box. First, the layout strategy for the power distribution components is presented, which is determined by the sum of the squares of the currents flowing through connector pairs. Then, the thermal effects of parallel traces are simulated for different conditions by using thermal analysis software. Based on the results, an analytical estimation of the additional temperature rises due to parallel traces and rules for a thermally effective arrangement of the parallel traces are presented.

Electrical connectors are very sensitive parts in an electronic system. The actual meaning of reliability and the problems associated with determining it, are often not right understood. The paper presents some particular aspects of the automotive industry connectors’ i.e. fretting, fretting corrosion prevention, aluminium connections. The performance factors governed by the operating conditions and design-technology factors determined by the manufacturing characteristics of a contact unit were analyzed.
