Texas Instruments Inc. (TXN) Semiconductors Tapped for NASA Radar Imaging

Texas Instruments Incorporated (NASDAQ:TXN) is one of the top stock picks in Ken Griffin’s portfolio. On August 21, the company confirmed that its semiconductors are enabling radar imaging and scientific exploration payloads for the NASA-Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite, known as NISAR.

The milestone follows a recent launch into orbit and is a result of a decade-long partnership between Texas Instruments and ISRO. The two have been working together to optimize the performance of the electronic systems responsible for the Earth observation mission.

According to Shri Nilesh Desai, Director, Space Applications Centre (SAC), ISRO, Texas Instruments enabled the space agency to navigate complex payload requirements with ease. The company provided analog-to-digital converters with ultra-high sampling rates and high resolution, allowing the satellite’s payload to generate high-resolution radar imagery.

Texas Instruments also provided high-performance interface technology, enabling high-speed data transfer between satellite subsystems for reliable communication.

“A deeply coupled partnership, specifically focused on high-impact mixed signal and analog semiconductors, enabled ISRO to meet the system-level requirements for a satellite in low Earth orbit. Together, we achieved the space-grade performance standards needed for this important mission,” said Desai.

Texas Instruments Incorporated (NASDAQ:TXN) is a semiconductor company that designs, manufactures, tests, and sells analog and embedded processing chips, which are the essential building blocks for electronic systems in various markets, including industrial, automotive, and personal electronics.
