Estimating Stingray(ADAR1000-EVAL1Z) power consumption

Question

Hello, 
 I wonder the power consumption of Stingray for Tx state and Rx state 
 Thank you for your help.

Hi Jaemin, 
 In Tx state at nominal bias and all devices activated, the board is expected to consume approximately 70 W of DC power. In Rx state at nominal bias and all devices activated, the board is expected to consume approximately 20 W of DC power. Majority of the power consumption is due to the ADAR1000 (qty 8) and ADTR1107 (qty 32) ICs. Stingray (ADAR1000EVAL1Z) is powered from a single 12V rail with DC converters stepping down to the proper voltage rails for the various ICs. The converters/regulators have some inefficiencies which also contribute to the DC power consumption. A schematic can be found on the wiki if you want to see which components are used.
