Tunable RF
Module |
|
This RF module is a tunable, RF, analog front end designed for
Lyrtech small form factor (SFF) software defined- |
|
radio. (SDR) development
platforms. The module covers low-band (0.2–1.0 GHz) or
high-band (1.6–2.3 GHz)
|
|
frequencies and, when it is
combined with the SFF SDR evaluation module and ADACMaster III
module |
|
(high-speed AD/DA board), the
whole becomes a complete and integrated hardware and software
development |
|
solution for a wide range of
software-defined radio applications. |
| |
|
Applications |
At A Glance |
|
The following are only a few of
the applications |
- Low-band module: 0.2–1.0 GHz |
|
where the tunable RF module is
at its best: |
- High-band module: 1.6–2.3 GHz |
| |
- Superheterodyne receiver (IF =
30 MHz) |
|
Military |
- Direct quadrature transmitter
(IF < 65 MHz) |
|
Military applications such as
tactical military |
-
Full-duplex
transceiver—allows TDD and FDD |
|
communications (MILCOM),
military |
-
Plug and Play with
Lyrtech SFF SDR evaluation module |
|
communications gateways,
handsets and man-pack |
-
Software-selectable 5-MHz
or 20-MHz RX bandwidths |
|
systems, and vehicular systems
are prime candidates |
-
Up to 80 dB of isolation
between TX and RX |
|
for SDR development |
| |
|
Public safety |
|
The tunable RF module allows
public safety applications such as TETRA and APCO band
communications, |
|
vehicular systems, transponders,
and broadband data systems. |
|
|
|
Commercial |
|
RFID readers, broadband data
systems, vehicular systems, as well as femto and pico base
stations are |
|
all applications that can be
developed with this RF module. Potential waveforms are Quad
band GSM/GPRS/ |
|
EDGE, DECT, PHS, W-CDMA, HSDPA/HSUPA,
TD-SCDMA, IS-95, and CDMA2000. |
|
|
|
Software
Tools |
|
The tunable RF module benefits
from drivers and application examples suppplied with the SFF
SDR |
|
evaluation module’s board
software development kit (BSDK) and model-based design
blocksets supplied |
|
with the SFF SDR development
platform’s model-based design kit (MBDK). (The target FPGA
software |
|
for the ADACMaster III is also
recommended to benefit from the module’s real-time FPGA gain
control |
|
parameters, useful in
transceiver applications.) |
|
|
|
Available
hardware options |
 |
|
Low band—covers the frequency
range from 0.2 GHz to 1.0 GHz |
|
High band—covers the frequency
range from 1.6 GHz to 2.3 GHz |
|
|
|
Note that only one of these two
modules can be used on the platform. |

|
WiMAX RF Module |
|
The WiMAX RF module is a
WiMAX, RF, analog front end for Lyrtech small form factor (SFF)
software defined |
|
-radio (SDR) development
platforms. The module is designed to cover the WiMAX 2.5-GHz
band (2.3–2.5 GHz) |
|
or the WiMAX 3.5-GHz band
(3.4–3.6 GHz) and, when it is combined with the SFF SDR
evaluation module |
|
and ADACMaster
III
module (high-speed AD/DA board), the whole becomes a complete
and integrated hardware |
|
and software development
solution for advanced WiMAX development. |
|
|
|
When you use the 2.3–2.5-GHz
band, it is also possible to develop RFID/ Bluetooth (PAN—2.4
GHz) applications |
|
with the SFF SDR development
platform |
|
|
|
| |
