Chapter 1 Introduction Overview DUHFII is a half duplex, UHF Radio Modem with built-in GSM/GPRS (or CDMA, HSPA) module and Bluetooth transceiver developed to be integrated in a Topcon receiver. It takes incoming data from a Topcon receiver through the standard serial port (CMOS/TTL compatible), modulates it with GMSK, or 4FSK modulations and transmits it at RF power output levels from 10mW/10dBm to 1W/30dBm. With 4FSK modulation, it will deliver error-free data at up to 19.
Introduction Product Features Operating Band, Channel Spacing, and Output Power The following are its key benefits: 1. 2. 3. 4. Single radio system covers the whole UHF frequency band from 400 to 470 MHz; User selectable channel spacing (25kHz, 20kHz or 12.5kHz); User selectable Output power level for base unit (10mW/10dBm and 1W/30dBm); Programmable to limit operation to given frequency range or list of channels, given channel spacing, given output power, RX mode.
Physical Interfaces Link Status Indicators External LED’s are used for Link and Line status indication: LED Name Color Description TXA Green Active if modem transmits Data over radio link (min. light on 200ms) RXA Red Active if modem receives Data over radio link (min. light on 200ms) BLUETOOTH Blue Active if modem receives or transmits Data over Bluetooth interface Power Interface The power interface allows connection to an unregulated DC power source.
Introduction Hardware Architecture Functional Requirements The UHF Modem/Cell/BT Board consists of the following main sections: • UHF modem Tx/Rx modem; • GSM/GPRS, 3G, or CDMA modules; • Bluetooth module. The block diagram of the DUHFII is presented below. In the figure, consider GSM modem as referring to either GSM/GPRS or CDMA modules. NOTICE The GSM/GPRS (or CDMA) module installation is optional.
Electromagnetic Compatibility Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Installation of Digital UHF II module into device shall comply with section 2.1091 of the FCC Rules.
Introduction Mechanical Considerations EMI interferers The DUHF II transceiver is easily mounted inside new and existing products. The DUHF II transceiver is specifically designed for operation in harsh environments. For best performance, mount the radio away from potential EMI radiators and route RF signals apart from digital signals. WARNING It is not recommend the bundling of the antenna interface cable with other signal cables internal to your product.
Chapter 2 Command Reference Introduction This command reference describes in detail all the commands available in version 1.2a9 of the DUHFII firmware running on the Digital UHFII modems from Topcon Positioning Systems Inc. This reference provides a very limited amount of feature descriptions, explanations of the technologies, or configuration examples. For detailed information about the various features and technologies supported by DUHFII modems, see “Introduction” on page 1-1.
Command Reference Icons This reference includes icons that appear in the left margin and are designed to help you clearly identify operating mode in which you can apply a particular command. The following icons are used throughout this reference: Keys Operating Mode Command applies in Factory mode only. Command applies in Dealer mode only. Command applies in User mode only.
Firmware Images Firmware Images The DUHFII modem stores two firmware images; a factory and a user image. • The factory image is the factory-installed firmware that is permanently available on the DUHFII modem. • The user image is the user-installed firmware that normally controls all modem operations, including its normal boot process. If the modem boot process with the user image fails for any reason, the modem can be booted with the factory image.
