Figure 2.6: Top view <strong>of</strong> the PC104 card for the EPS [5].2.3.3 <strong>Power</strong> conditionningThe EPS has to provide several stabilized voltage power outputs. Figure 2.7 shows thedifferent power buses <strong>and</strong> the subsystems. The maximum current from each output hasto be known before we can design the power conditioning unit. The exact consumptions <strong>of</strong>subsystems were not available during the work on this thesis, so that the following estimationswere made:• The OBC1 consumes 10mW at 5V. The current is thus 2mA [22].• The OBC2 consumes 10mW at 3.3V. The current is thus 3mA.• The Beacon uses one ADF7021, supplied in 3.3V. The maximum current consumed byan ADF is 25mA [8].• The COM can use two ADF at a time. The maximum consumption is 50mA with 3.5V[8].• Measurement systems are supplied with 3.3V. It is reasonable to think that the consumptionwill stay under 50mA.• There will be one or two amplifier(s) for radio transmission, supplied with 7.2V. Thedesired RF power transmitted by the Beacon is 100mW. The desired RF power emittedby D-STAR <strong>and</strong> AX.25 is around 750mW. Assuming the amplifier has an efficiency <strong>of</strong>30% (it should be higher), the maximum consumed power would be close to 3000mW.This corresponds to a current <strong>of</strong> 417mA [8].18
