Featured Products
Engine Acoustic/Screech SensorDesigned for high-performance military gas turbine engines with afterburners, this advanced sensor addresses the challenge of combustion instabilities such as screech and rumble. Kulite’s sensor combines piezoresistive technology with MEMS fabrication to deliver high accuracy in both static and dynamic pressure measurements. Engineered to withstand extreme environments, it operates at high temperatures with a natural frequency exceeding 100 kHz and durability beyond 100g shock and vibration. The sensor outputs data in digital format, offering robust performance in augmented thrust applications.
Miniature Absolute Pressure TransducerIdeal for hypersonic wind tunnel testing environments (Mach 4–10), this miniature transducer offers high precision in an extremely compact and rugged form—approximately 0.1 cubic inches. With a full-scale pressure of 5 psia and accuracy up to 0.0025 psia, the sensor features Kulite’s “leadless” silicon-on-oxide technology. It operates above 1000°F, exceeds 250 kHz in natural frequency, and endures over 100g of shock and vibration. Its miniature connector allows easy installation and removal, with no re-calibration or complex wiring required.
Advanced Packaging and Integration Technologies for MicrosensorsKulite is pioneering a novel sensor packaging technology that integrates pressure transducers at the wafer level. A key innovation is the bonding of the sensor to a planar cover wafer with through-wafer interconnects, enabling hermetic sealing and environmental protection. This encapsulated design supports surface mounting without external wires, improving reliability and reducing cost. The cover wafer can house signal conditioning electronics, allowing vertical integration of sensor and electronics for a compact, robust, and “smart” sensing solution.
