Introduction
• ADCI is a communication device• Used in high-altitude balloons• Will measure temperature, altitude, and
location• Will contain two-way communication device• For Aerospace Engineering Department

Problem
• Current unit is…– Too heavy– Expensive– Consumes too much power
• Only the location is currently transmitted
![Page 6: Aerospace Digital Communication Instrument Senior Design 1 Presentation.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033102/5697bf9b1a28abf838c92c2f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Solution
• New transmission device– Smaller– Less weight– Less power– Less expensive– More features

Technical ConstraintsName Description
Distance The ADCI must be able to communicate more than 100 miles atground level. It must also communicate at an altitude of morethan 10 miles.
Operating Temperature
The ADCI must operate within a temperature range of -70°C to50°C.
GPS and Altitude Precision
The ADCI must measure location and altitude with a 50-meterresolution.
Temperature Reading Range
The ADCI must accurately measure temperature from -40°C to50°C ± 1.0°C.
Battery Life The ADCI must run on a battery for more than 2 hours undernormal operating conditions; transmitting data at 1 minuteintervals.
Interfacing The ADCI must be able to interface with differentcommunication devices.

Practical Constraints
Name Description
Sustainability Ruggedness The ADCI must be able to survive the flight and the landing of the balloon.
Sustainability Upgradeability The ADCI must use the best sensors in the price range and allow more sensors later.

Ruggedness
• ADCI must survive at high altitude– Low temperature– Water vapor– Wind
• Landing is most important– Impact on hard ground– Dust– Will not protect against water landing

Upgradeability
• Future considerations– Other sensors• Atomic IMU 6 degrees of freedom• Pressure Transducer
– Adding a camera– Control over balloon direction
