The LMS-6 Radiosonde is a radiosonde manufactured by Lockheed-Martin Sippican, and used for meteorological sounding.


Overview

There are two models of the LMS-6, a 403MHz model and a 1680MHz model. This article will cover the 403MHz model unless specified.

Specs

  • 16 Fixed transmit carrier frequencies (MHz): 400.250, 400.625, 401.000, 401.375, 401.750, 402.125, 402.500, 402.875, 403.250, 403.625, 404.000, 404.375, 404.750, 405.125, 405.500, 405.875
  • Frequency tolerance +/-30ppm
  • Mean TX Power 70.8mW (18.5dBm)
  • Emission Designator 16K8F1D
  • FSK with a maximum modulating frequency of 4.8 kHz
  • Emission 3dB BW +/-5.0 kHz
  • Emission 20dB BW +/-12.7 kHz
  • Omnidirectional antenna
  • Main beam gain 2dBi
  • Horizontal Beamwidth 360 degrees
  • Vertical Beamwidth +84 degrees

U3 - 72F324J6T6 - ST72324 - Main Microcontroller, ST7 series

U5, U6 - LP2985

U?? - TPS7201Q

TPS7201Q on PCB

U13 - CD4040BPW

U14 - CD74HC4051PWR

U16 - LMV761

U21 - TI/Chipcon CC1050 (TSSOP 24)

U22 - TPS791


Sens 4 - Capacitive Relative humidity sensor

Notes

U13 Package marking shows CM040B. TI Park marking lookup provides CD4040BPW

U16 Package marking shows C22A. TI Part marking lookup provides LMV761. The SOT-23 footprint appears to match what is on the PCB.

Sens 4 is know to be capacitive since it is listed as such on page 13 of the WMO Common Code Tables Document
