  2. SOFIE Analog Signal Path Weak Channel Balance Attenuator attenuation = BAw A/D 14 bits -3V to 3V -213 to 213 counts 1 count = 366 V Vin,w Differential Amp gain = GV Strong Channel Balance Attenuator attenuation = BAs Vin,s • Vin is the signal into the balance attenuator, after synchronous rectification: • Vin = VA/Dmax * margin • set margin to 1.2, so Vin = 3V * 1.2 = 3.6V • we’ll get Vw and Vs below 3V using the BA’s • for example to get Vexo = 2.95V requires BA = 0.82 • The difference signal: • V = (Vin,w * BAw – Vin,s* BAs) * GV

  3. Balance attenuator setting vs. V balance voltages • Difference signal balance voltage, Vbal: • Vbal = (Vin,w * BAw – Vin,s* BAs) * GV • Solve for BAw We can balance at various voltages to increase dynamic range in V Little impact on Vw These curves apply to all channels

  4. V precision vs. V gain and balance attenuator settings count precision, CPV = (214 BAsGV)-1 These curves apply to all channels

  5. V precision vs. balance attenuator setting Count precision, CPV = (214 BA)-1 Lowering BA reduces precision These curves apply to all channels

  6. Recommended V Gain Settings Assumes 14 bit A/D, -3 to 3V. V balance voltage was –2.5V for all channels. Upper altitude is where the 1st 10 count change occurs. Lower altitude is where V reaches 0.8214 counts. Note that the CBE 1-count precisions are not CBE system noise. Required V precisions are taken as the strong band requirements. Signals were based on atmospheric transmissions calculated using a climatology for summer at 60°N. The analyses that lead to the above results are shown on the following pages.

  10. 1) O3 Channel useful altitude Useful altitude of V signals is determined by the V gain and balance attenuator settings. Baseline altitude range will be determined by GV Adjusting the BA settings changes the altitude range very little in this case

  13. 3) H2O Channel useful altitude Useful altitude of V signals is determined by the V gain and balance attenuator settings. Baseline altitude range will be determined by GV We can adjust the BA settings to change our altitude range

  14. 3) H2O channel useful altitude The V gain to saturate at 50 km altitude changes with V balance voltage Decreasing the V balance voltage increases the dynamic range With increased dynamic range, we can tolerate an increase in the V gain The figure shows the V gain that saturates V at 50 km vs. Vbal Decreasing Vbal allows us to get more precision and dynamic range
