This page presents the EMC characterization for RPW in-flight.
EMC Frequency Coverage
Frequency (Hz) | Origin | Impact on RPW |
---|---|---|
8 | AOCS Synchronisation pulse (ASP) | Impact on SCM which could be mitigated |
15 360 | MAG drive | |
Around 50 000 | Due to Bias currents. See EMC_Teleconf_11032021_RPW_Status.pdf below for more details. | Large impact on TNR-HFR and TDS |
80 000 + harmonics | Reaction wheel (RW) electronic box | Large impact on TNR-HFR |
120 000 | 120 kHz lines of the central power distribution unit (PCDU APR converters) radiated by the Solar Panels | Major impact on TNR-HFR Major impact on TDS but which could be mitigated (flight S/W update) No impact on LFR |
Hereafter the number (6) and frequencies expected from the PCDU APRs DC/DC Converters (data from frequency plan provided by ADS).
APR#1 DC/DC Converter (~120 kHz) | 117,6 | Not Xtal | ~84Hz/degC. For a 5 degC variation over 1 hour, Δf/f=0.3%; during TVAC frequency drift <100 ppm/h for 4 degC variation of PCDU temperature |
APR#2 DC/DC Converter (~120 kHz) | 118,4 | Not Xtal | ~84Hz/degC. For a 5 degC variation over 1 hour, Δf/f=0.3%; during TVAC frequency drift <100 ppm/h for 4 degC variation of PCDU temperature |
APR#3 DC/DC Converter (~120 kHz) | 119,3 | Not Xtal | ~84Hz/degC. For a 5 degC variation over 1 hour, Δf/f=0.3%; during TVAC frequency drift <100 ppm/h for 4 degC variation of PCDU temperature |
APR#4 DC/DC Converter (~120 kHz) | 120,7 | Not Xtal | ~84Hz/degC. For a 5 degC variation over 1 hour, Δf/f=0.3%; during TVAC frequency drift <100 ppm/h for 4 degC variation of PCDU temperature |
APR#5 DC/DC Converter (~120 kHz) | 121 | Not Xtal | ~84Hz/degC. For a 5 degC variation over 1 hour, Δf/f=0.3%; during TVAC frequency drift <100 ppm/h for 4 degC variation of PCDU temperature |
APR#6 DC/DC Converter (~120 kHz) | 121,1 | Not Xtal | ~84Hz/degC. For a 5 degC variation over 1 hour, Δf/f=0.3%; during TVAC frequency drift <100 ppm/h for 4 degC variation of PCDU temperature |
