Description
The Harris HSP3824 Direct
Sequence (DSSS) baseband pro-
cessor is part of the PRISM™
• Complete DSSS Baseband Processor
• High Data Rate. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .up to 4 MBPS
• Processing Gain . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . up to 12dB
• Programmable PN Code . . . . . . . . . . . . up to 16 Bits
• Ultra Small Package . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7 x 7 x 1mm
• Single Supply Operation (33MHz Max) . . 2.7V to 5.5V
• Single Supply Operation (44MHz Max) . . 3.3V to 5.0V
• Modulation Method . . . . . . . . . . . . .DBPSK or DQPSK
• Supports Full or Half Duplex Operations
2.4GHz radio chipset, and contains
all the functions necessary for a full or half duplex packet base-
band transceiver.
The HSP3824 has on-board ADC’s for analog I and Q inputs, for
which the HFA3724 IF QMODEM is recommended. Differential
phase shift keying modulation schemes DBPSK and DQPSK,
with optional data scrambling capability, are combined with a pro-
grammable PN sequence of up to 16 bits. Built-in flexibility allows
the HSP3824 to be configured through a general purpose control
bus, for a wide range of applications. A Receive Signal Strength
Indicator (RSSI) monitoring function with on-board 6-bit 2 MSPS
ADC provides Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) to avoid data
collisions and optimize network throughput. The HSP3824 is
housed in a thin plastic quad flat package (TQFP) suitable for
PCMCIA board applications.
• On-Chip A/D Converters for I/Q Data (3-Bit, 44 MSPS)
