DE9944
SDR Demonstrator
Soꢀware Defined Radio Demonstrator for FDMA Digital/Analogue PMR
DE9944 Brief Descripꢀon
The DE9944 is a compact demonstraꢁon plaꢂorm for Narrowband FDMA
Digital/Analogue PMR Radio, providing a complete RF to baseband soluꢁon.
Introducꢀon
FDMA (6.25 kHz) digital PMR is
an enabler to achieve highly
funcꢁonal soluꢁons by using low
cost and low complexity
technology.
The board is based on the CMX7141 FDMA PMR Processor and incorporates the CMX618
RALCWI Vocoder, the CMX7262 TWELP Professional Radio Vocoder, and the CMX994 Direct
Conversion Receiver. The board can be used to demonstrate a complete RF transceiver and
baseband funcꢁon supporꢁng a direct conversion receiver and VCO 2-point modulaꢁon
transmiꢃer.
There are a number of FDMA
digital PMR technologies
available including: dPMR,
NXDN, ARIB STD-T98,
The DE9944 features a built in keyboard, display, microphone and speaker and so can be
used to demonstrate peer-to-peer operaꢁon in a stand-alone configuraꢁon. The board has an
ARM processor which handles iniꢁal board power up and loading of the Funcꢁon Images for
the CMX7141 and CMX7262. Once the system is powered up, the processor implements basic
radio funcꢁonality (channel selecꢁon etc) and baseband control, allowing demonstraꢁon of a
simple voice call and data transfer.
ARIB STD T-102, all providing the
best possible channel efficiency.
dPMR is an ETSI standard that
offers voice and/or data for peer
-to-peer through to complex
trunking applicaꢁons. The dPMR
ETSI standards TS 102 490 and
TS 102 658 comply with the
Harmonised EN 301 166-2
Standard.
The DE9944 provides a Fracꢁonal-N PLL and VCO plus associated circuits to provide local
oscillator signals for the CMX994. The design also includes a 1W power amplifier, harmonic
filter and Tx/Rx switch. The RF performance is designed to be compliant with EN 301 166 for
dPMR applicaꢁons and TIA-603-D / EN 300 086 for analogue applicaꢁons. All the circuits are
provided with power-down capability to allow powersave / standby operaꢁon.
The DE9944 FDMA digital radio
SDR demonstrator provides the
fastest route from evaluaꢁon
through to producꢁon of a small,
highly integrated FDMA digital
PMR Radio.
