DE9941
SDR 1 Demonstrator
Soꢀware Defined Radio Demonstrator for Linear Radio Systems
Introducꢀon
DE9941 Brief Descripꢀon
There is a growing market
requirement for small , flexible
Soꢀware Defined Radio (SDR)
data modems.
The DE9941 is a small demonstraꢁon plaꢂorm for a linear modulaꢁon-based
Soꢀware Defined Radio (SDR) for wireless data applicaꢁons.
The small form factor of this credit card sized board is possible due to the high
integraꢁon of key funcꢁons comprising:
The technology to accomplish
this is now available with the
release of CML’s highly
integrated RF and baseband
product offerings: CMX998,
CMX994 and CMX7164.
Cartesian Loop Transmiꢃer - CMX998
Direct Conversion Receiver - CMX994
Mulꢁ-mode Wireless Data Modem - CMX7164
The DE9941 can be used to demonstrate transmit and receive performance with
4/16/64 QAM linear modulaꢁon and constant-envelope modulaꢁon schemes such as
2/4-level FSK and GMSK, that are also available on the CMX7164 Mulꢁ-mode
Wireless Data Modem.
The CMX998 is a market-leading
Cartesian Loop Transmiꢃer IC
providing opꢁmum PA
linearisaꢁon for non-constant
envelope/linear systems.
Included on board is a 1W power amplifier and RF performance is designed to be
compliant with EN 302 561
The CMX994 is the ulꢁmate
Direct Conversion Receiver,
providing direct conversion from
RF down to I/Q baseband.
The design is aimed to be small and low cost, with the minimal number of
components/values.
The CMX7164 mulꢁ-mode
Feature Summary
Wireless Data Modem IC, based
on FirmASIC® technology, offers
mulꢁple modulaꢁon schemes
that can be uploaded into the
device via Funcꢁon Image™. The
device supports both linear and
non-linear modulaꢁon schemes
(2-FSK, 4-FSK, GMSK, 4-QAM, 16-
QAM and 64-QAM).
