At your digital radios!
Specifically designed to meet the needs of a Software Defined Radio (SDR), the CMX983 performs critical DSP-intensive functions, provides dual-channel analogue-to-digital and digital-to-analogue conversion. It includes two RF fractional-N synthesisers and embeds a host of auxiliary ADCs and DACs for use within the radio system.
Included in each package are five highly configurable CMX983 ICs, supporting numerous sample rates and filtering characteristics. A software support package is also included in this offer.
For evaluation of the Fractional-N synthesisers, the EV9830 evaluation kit includes a 900MHz VCO fitted with connections to synthesiser 1 and a 2.1GHz VCO fitted with connections to synthesiser 2. Test pads are also provided for connection to an external VCO.
An instrumentation interface with single-ended signal connections to differential baseband I/Q connections on the CMX983 is provided to allow easy connection of proprietary test equipment.
The board also incorporates all of the necessary power supply regulation facilities for operation from a dual +/‑6Vsupply. It is fitted with a C-BUS connector allowing the EV9830 to be operated by connection to either of the two C-BUS ports on a CML PE0002 interface card used with the associated PC GUI software. A separate ‘host’ header is provided with both C-BUS and fast serial port connections.
The CMX983 is suitable for radio systems employing modulation bandwidths up to 25.8kHz and is usable in satellite communication, high performance wireless data and professional two-way radio systems.
