What we need \nis not assumptions but data reflecting what the hardware does. The \nproblem is that we don't have the hardware - and that's my issue. The \npower distribution circuits are what I call a \"top level\" subsystem \nwhich feeds \"everyone.\" Instead of working on the circuitry that will \nrun from it and trying to \"imagine\" what we can expect, let's focus on \nbreadboarding the key power distribution circuits and get some hard data \nso we know what we're working with.\n\nI'll again reiterate (as I have several times in the past) the same \nthing for the satellite's 10 MHz reference. It's another top level \n\"subsystem\" that will feed \"all\" LO's. Instead of guessing what we'll be \nworking with, let's get it defined too.\n\n(I'm proposing we put that one to bed and use the time tested, well \ndefined, high stability, low noise HP (OK - Agilent) 10811 series of \nreference standards used in most of their test instruments. If that \nwon't cut it - someone please tell me why!)\n> 7. Requirements: Bob McGwier is correct, we really did start with a \n> very top-level requirements document.

But again, I think \nwe're sorely lacking in key \"system\" performance requirements based on \nreal data - - - which can only be obtained by building and testing \nthese key functions.\n\nI'm not a power supply guy, but I'll offer to assist in building and \ntesting the circuits we need to characterize. Lou - point me in the \nright direction - tell me what you need!\n\nRegards...Bill - N6GHz\n\n", "attachments": [] }
