Interface Concept with Spacecraft Needs an ICDInternal Electrical Concept Being Revised for RFSWorking on Box Mechanical SpecificationsBasic Concept Uses Board Slices (similar to MAVEN)Board Size Must be Common Among all BoardsMass Estimate Used THEMIS-sized Boards (6”x9”)
AEB (THEMIS) is adding floating power supplies, reducing 6 to 4 channels, RB interface ICU (MAVEN) adding 3DPlus Flash memory but will fit in 6x9” format. DFB (THEMIS) has to add circuitry and needs smaller A/D’s to fit. The smaller A/Ds
need radiation testing (in the works at LASP). Possibly use “SideCar” chip MAG (MAVEN) is expanding heater filtering, will fit in 6x9”. The Spectrometer will be less than a single board, replacing 2-board HFR-TNR. TDS (STEREO) is expected to fit in 6” x 9” footprint
Replaced HFR/TNR with Radio Frequency Spectrometer (RFS)

RFS Dynamic Range
Pulupa – Aug, 2012
12
RFS Requirements
• Input levels– V1-V4
• In the range ±5V• Switchable gain on front end to accommodate wide dynamic range
and uncertainty in signal levels (TBD, Gain in Preamp preferred)• Dynamic Range for Receiver input and ADC
– At Preamp Input, ranges from < 10µV to < 10mV (TBR)– Preamp will boost signal, so Receiver will input signal modified by the Preamp
transfer function plus noise
• Noise level – At Preamp input: < 10nV / √Hz– Receiver must preserve this low noise floor (again modified by Preamp)
– B-HF• Frequency range 10kHz to 1MHz (SCM HF winding)
– Voltage range: ±8.5V
• Switchable gain on front end to accommodate wide dynamic range and uncertainty in signal levels (TBD)
13
RFS Data Products• Signal Processing
– TNR Spectra• V1, V2, V3, V4, V1-V2, V3-V4, B-HF• Log-spaced frequencies, Δf/f = 4% (perhaps higher resolution)• Picket fence, avoid frequencies f+Nf, starting at 150kHz, f=50kHz (or
150kHz)• Cadence: TBD
– TNR Cross Spectra (direction finding)• V1 and V2, V3 and V4, V x B• Cadence: TBD
– HFR Spectra (And cross spectra?)• V1, V2, V3, V4, V1-V2, V3-V4• Frequency resolution:
– 1MHz to 5MHz: 50kHz spacing (TBR)– 5MHz to 20MHz: 100kHz spacing (TBR)
• Bandwidth: 25kHz (TBR)• Picket fence• Cadence: TBD
14
RFS Signal Processing
• Development Plan– Build Test Bed for Algorithm development and verification
• Hi speed ADC for signal capture, connected to laptop• Acquire data set using STEREO S/WAVES Antennas/Preamp• Can add impulsive events to time series, simulate anticipated dust signatures• Develop algorithms in Software, then transfer to VHDL and/or FSW• Include hi speed DAC to play data through Receiver
– ETU build prior to iPDR

F3 Foreign Funding Issues
5 4 H
If foreign funding sources failthen we may lose the search coil sensors or electronics.
Loss of Science
Long Plan backup fabrication using US funding. When formally agreed, this risk can be retired.[SCM] Submit in time a satisfactory technical and financial proposal to CNES (09/12) (R29)To Retire Risk: - CNES committment for phase B funding (part 1) - funding backup options for TNR and SCM 09/11 - 06/12: decision to proceed - 09/12: CNES proposal for next phase - KDP-C - Final CNES commitment in Phase C
Research In October, 2012, CNES turned down the NASA LOA. This ends the probability of LESIA (HFR/TNR) being in the complement. Subsequent meetings at CNES offer hope that the SCM (LPC2E) will be funded by the end of the year at most.
F5 Survival Thermal Environment
2 4 M
If the survival thermal environment for the SCM and MAG does not meet the sensors’ minimum temperature requirements,improved, then additional heater power will be required to avoid instrument failure.
Loss of Science
Long FIELDS electronics have no heritage at extreme cold temperatures. Perform thermal analyses to set specification for tests to be performed.[SCM] carrying as high risk (R01)To Retire Risk:- Preliminary Thermal Analysis/Test to confirm if the thermal design is adequate (06/13)- GSFC MAG Ops & Survival Thermal Test(06/13) (P step down)- APL test high-efficiency blankets on MAG Boom mock-
Mitigation Mag Thermal Chamber is not yet operational due to the SPP limitation on Phase B funding. Looking for MAG Ops thermal test in mid 2013.
F7 ElectroStatic Contamination
3 3 M
If the S/C has areas that charge up,then their potential will compromise the electric field measurements.
Degraded Mission
Long Current unknown materials and surface properties to evaluate. TPS is now known to be non-conductive during science periods.To Retire Risk:- ESC plan draft (prior to I-PDR, P step-down) - ESC plan final (prior to I-CDR, P step-down) - Retires at mission I&T when ESC is verified

11/14/2012 Notes
F9 Magnetic Sensor Qualification
3 4 M
If the MAG sensor is not qualified for the number of operational thermal cycles,then the sensor may fail in orbit.
Loss of Science
Long MAG unwilling to accept thermal environment for sensor, unlikely to life-test sensor to 200 cycles at thermal extremes.To Retire Risk: - Plan thermal testing of a representative MAG sensor (P step-down) (by I-PDR) - Completion of MAG sensor thermal testing (P step-down) (by I-CDR) - retire risk after successful testing
Research Current plan has MAG thermal cycling completed by iPDR.
F12 Magnetic Cleanliness
4 3 M
If the S/C exhibits high residual magnetic fields (AC or DC),then the magnetic measurements will be contaminated.
Degraded Mission
Long To Retire Risk:- Magnetics plan draft (prior to I-PDR, P step-down) (P step-down) - Magnetics plan final (prior to I-CDR, P step-down) (P step-down) - design freeze at M-CDR cofirms long-enough MAG boom (P step-down) - Retires at mission I&T when magnetics is verified
Research UCB developed concepts for longer boom lengths as a mitigation for S/C generated magnetic fields. Alternatively, the S/C could be magnetically clean.
F13 Third axis electric field measurement
4 3
M
IF S/C electrostatic center is near the TPS and highly variable, then FIELDS will fail to measure the sunward electric fields
Loss of ScienceMid Study the possibility of making a simple surface voltage measurement on the MAG boom as a baseline for the sunward electric field.
Research Completed study August, 2012. Need to decide if it can be accomodated.

Technical “Common CPU” design with SWEAP is becoming less likely SWEAP is requiring very high processor speeds, 64 GB, add new interfaces FIELDS is looking to reduce power, reduce memory, utilize existing I/Fs and FSW SWEAP needs to secure its own processor designer
Cost Encumbered Reserve for the HFR/TNR is very close to the RFS cost (1.1M ) However, Phase B is ~ 0.4M higher as the RFS needs development time. Encumbered Reserve for SCM in Phase B is ~0.7M. So, securing the SCM LOA would release enough funds for RFS Otherwise, either [1] the GSFC backup SCM is delayed or [2] reserves could be
used
Schedule MAVEN is leaving the building. That’s good! Major proposals (ICON/OHMIC), if selected in March, will split our manpower Personnel already in the process of listing replacement positions
