Product Preview DE9941ASDR Demonstrator for Industrial loT Modem Applications Features • Complete UHF modem solution • On-board ARM controller with script handler and USB interface • Credit card size - 87mm x 55mm • Ample test points for signal interrogation Functional Summary • 12.5/25/50kHz channel support • Supports m-QAM modulation • 192kbps in a 50kHz channel • 1 Watt transmit output • Designed to meet EN 302 561 / EN 300 113 Applications • VHF/UHF modems The DE9941A is a compact UHF wireless data modem demonstration platform using the CMX994E Direct Conversion Receiver, the CMX998 Cartesian Feedback Loop Transmitter and the CMX7364 High Performance Multi-mode Wireless Data Modem. The credit card sized small form factor of the evaluation platform is due to the highly integrated nature of the CML IC solutions and its software defined architecture allows support of multiple channel bandwidths (12.5/25/50kHz) and modulation types with a single hardware design. Whilst the components used support operation from 100MHz to 1GHz the design is optimised for operation in the 350-400 MHz band. The board can be used to demonstrate receive and transmit performance with multi-level QAM, FSK and GMSK type modulation. Using the on-board ARM host controller, a full transceiver can be demonstrated interfacing to a host PC via USB, with scripts available to set up the board as a transceiver, as well as running BER tests and operation in transmit mode only. The DE9941A includes a Fractional-N PLL and VCO to provide local oscillator signals for the CMX994E and CMX998. The on-board ARM micro-controller, together with the control scripts, gives the user the ability to program the RF synthesizer to the correct operating frequencies. The design also includes a 1W power amplifier, harmonic filter and Tx/Rx switch. The modem's RF performance is designed to be compliant with EN 302 561 / EN 300 113 and all the circuits are provided with power-down capability to allow standby functionality. The DE9941A operates form a single 4.5V supply. olndustrial loT oTelemetry oSCADA oReal Time Kinematics o Military systems • Satellite modems (IF stage)
