SP+ DFB REE 12/01/12
DFB – Top Level Requirements SENSOR INPUTS: • 5 Electric Field Inputs:+/- 100 V • 4 SCM Inputs: +/- 5 V (TBD) • 2 (TBD) Witness Plate Inputs: +/- 10 V (TBD) POWER: • +/- 12 V Analog (TBD); must be > +/- 8 V • +/- 5 V Analog • +5 V Digital (May go away.) • +3.3 V Digital Regulated; • >+1.8 V Digital; (We regulate to +1.5 V)
DFB – Top Level Requirements DIGITAL INPUTS/OUTPUTS: • 16 MHz Clock • Command/Data Interface: Designed after MAVEN • Time: Need time at marker • Configuration: We are considering adding an EEPROM to DFB to hold: • (a) 16 (TBD) modes • (b) Teledyne code. • Reconfiguration / Reprogramming • TBD
Design Options LASP is exploring three options for DFB board. The goals are to lower power and mass while maintaining science requirements: • (1) Teledyne sidecar. Four flight-qualified parts found. Cost still a problem (but not insurmountable). We expect board area <400 cm2 with power < 1.8 W. • (2) Low-power A/D qualification. This option is now a back-up to option 1. Testing is underway. Evaluation board and radiation board are finalized. If this option is exercised, we expect board area ~400 cm2(squeezed) with power < 2 W (TBD), depending on which A/D converters are qualified. • (3) Fall-back to heritage use of LTC 1604 A/D converters. Board area ~500 cm2 and power of 3 W exceed resource allocation. May need science trades.
Gain States We plan to include a gain 10x state for >20 RS science. • Gain = 1/8 (nominal) allows for largest signals that preamps can measure, +/- 10 V/m. Gain = 1.25 allows for DC fields +/- 1V/m. • AC-coupled electric fields high-gain state on Gac = 5 allows for +/- 250 mV/m Langmuir waves with better sensitivity at >20 RSscience. AC pole at 10 Hz. • Are gain states needed on SCM? DFB nominally includes 5-pole Bessel filters at 40% sampling rate.
Filtering DFB nominally includes 5-pole Bessel filters at 40% sampling rate (40% of 128 K samples/s = 52 kHz) . With Teledyne or “chip” A/Ds, we plan to “over-sample and filter”. This plan includes 3-pole Bessel filters at 20% sampling rate (20% of 256K samples/s = 52 kHz). Native sampling rate can be moved to 256 kSamples/s. Any desire to use higher sample rates for better frequency overlap?
Filter Banks DFB nominally includes filter banks on E and SCM channels.
DFB – FFTs Two 1024 or FFTs at different sample rates. Frequency bins compressed to 128 bins to achieve df/f ~10%. Data compressed to 8-bit pseudo log. +/-10% with large dynamic range. X-spectral matrices can be derived. Propose to use RTAX4000. Can do N FFT’s, where N is large.
DFB – Open Questions • Gain state on electric fields? We envision having a gain state changing ranges between (a) 0.3 mV/m – 10 V/m (b) 0.03 mV/m – 1 V/m. • Do we want to match SCM and E low-pass filters? • Do we want 36-element matrices (actually 19 parameters)? • Do we want V to V cross spectral analysis? • Details of filter bank design not final.
