High-fidelity, broadband amplification and filtering for spaceborne instrumentation
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This work presents the first fully integrated analog front-end for satellite-based, wideband plasma wave receivers. To enable the next generation of scientific instruments for comprehensive study of wave particle interactions in the Van Allen radiation belts, it comprises: a programmable-gain, low-noise amplifier for electric-field measurements from 100 Hz to 4 MHz that achieves 90-dB SFDR while consuming less than 2 mW; and, a programmable-bandwidth, sixth-order, anti-aliasing filter predicated on a novel, widely tunable transconductor that offers better than 90-dB odd-harmonic suppression and power-efficient field trimming. Notable contributions of this research include design techniques which assure that both elements not only demonstrate high linearity throughout their wide programming ranges but also maintain their performance well beyond a total absorbed dose of 100 krad(Si) with no latchup for LETs of ~100 MeV-cm^2/mg, despite the intrinsic radiation susceptibilities of the commercial manufacturing process in which they are fabricated. To validate these techniques, extensive baseline, radiation, and burn-in tests have been performed; the corresponding experimental procedures and measured results are also tendered.
