ELAD FDM-DUO Preliminay Specifications<\/h2>\n

\"Elad-FDM-DUO\"<\/a>Front-end
\nADC Linear LTC2165-16bit 122.88MHZ clock
\nDDC FPGA Spartan 6 XC6SLX25 + Serial Flash for stand-alone mode.<\/p>\n

USB IQ path through CY68013 for RX bitstream (192KHz up to 6.144Mhz single channel and 384KHz dual channel in PC mode)<\/p>\n

Stand-alone RX IQ path STM32F4 ARM floating point microcontroller<\/p>\n

LCD Controller Keyboard controller LPC1766 Cortex M3<\/p>\n

TX modulator use a second STM32F4 Floating Point microcontroller + AD9957 DDS clocked at 368,64 MHz<\/p>\n

Clocking source Si5338 drived by 10MHz TCXO or External reference input<\/p>\n

TX modulator use I2S sourcing from MIC input (Cirrus CS5346) or USB input (CODEC CM6510B with customized firmware)<\/p>\n

The third USB is a FTDI controller for CAT interface<\/p>\n

This versatile platform allow transceiving\u00a0in stand alone mode or in PC mode or in dual mode.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Frequency range: RX 9Khz to 52MHz direct sampling receiver
\nTX 160m to 6m others frequency to be defined<\/p>\n

MDS: -132dBm
\nBDR: +115dB (500Hz)<\/p>\n

Power output 5W
\nThere is available a secondary SMA connector output with 0dBm level for use or as generator
\nopen from 400Khz to 150Mhz (TBD)<\/p>\n

2m VHF RTX will be an option as a board to fit (TBD)<\/p>\n

The RTX have 2 Antenna inputs and can work as single RTX antenna or separate RX and TX antennas
\n(selectable by front panel or by CAT)<\/p>\n

Standalone MOdes: CW CW+ CW- LSB USB AM<\/p>\n

Firmware upgrade:
\nCortex M3 by CAT
\nCY68013 by PC
\nSTM32 RX or TX USB by memory stick through internal dedicated USBs
\nFPGA by PC
\nSt-alone PROM TBD<\/p>\n

When working in ST-Alone mode it is possible to connect an Android tablet (for example a Samsung Galaxy) to see the 192KHz spectrum and send some commands to FDM-DUO. Connection is made done through USB host of the Android and a TTL FTDI cable to EXTio connector of FDM-DUO<\/p>\n

In dual mode PC software can show the 192KHz bandwidth of the FDM-DUO and it possible to\u00a0demodulate with PC Software and with FDM-DUO with internal demodulator<\/p>\n

In PC mode the RX bandwidth may have up to 6MHZ and internal demodulator is disabled.<\/p>\n

This is a Software Defined Radio and these mode can be changed depending on new software\u00a0that will be available from ELAD or for from who want to use Extio Dlls.<\/p>\n

For using existing programs like HRD and FLDIGI\u2026.It will be very simple to plug the USB for CAT and USB TX like an external sound card.<\/p>\n

FDM-DUO will be available also as Receiver only as FDM-DUOr name<\/p>\n

From aesthetic point of view the box will be available SIlver or Black.<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong> 1159,00 Euro VAT included
\nAvailability:<\/strong> 2\/2014<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
