flexComm Solutions for Wireless Communication Systems
Spectrum’s flexComm product line is designed to provide flexible solutions for wireless communications. Invest in a flexComm solution that will meet your needs today, but still have the flexibility to scale, upgrade, or reconfigure your system to meet changing requirements. These solutions are well suited for the following applications:

• 2G to 3G Cellular Base Stations

• Satellite Base Stations

• Signal Intelligence

• Smart Antennae

• Beamforming

• Spectrum Monitoring

• Test and Measurement

• Advanced R&D – 3G, Software Digital Radio

Due to their modular design, flexComm solutions offer the flexibility to be easily scaled to accommodate more narrowband or wideband channels and/or more algorithm processing power. Check out flexComm solutions on our website.

CompactPCI Wideband Solution for 3G Wireless Systems
Spectrum’s flexComm wideband solution is ideally suited for development and deployment of 3G cellular base stations employing any or all of the third generation air interface standards, such as Wideband-CDMA, cdma2000, UMTS, and UTRA (ETSI W-CDMA).

As the first CompactPCI-based wideband solution in the industry, it offers:

• The capability to process four 30 MHz wideband channels in a single slot, or up to 24 channels in a Compact PCI chassis

• “One Tuner – Many Signals” architecture

• Ability to deal with multiple air interface standards

• FPGA pre-processing to partition 3G algorithms amongst FPGAs and DSPs

• Digital Radio Wizard software for easy configuration and rapid development

The result is a lower cost solution with greater flexibility. Find out more information about Spectrum’s wideband solutions on our website.

Digital Radio Development Systems
Spectrum’s Digital Radio Development Systems are perfect for developing wireless applications such as surveillance, cellular/satellite base station testing, direction finding, beamforming, smart antennae and laboratory testing. Each system typically contains:

• The DSP carrier board

• An A/D module

• A digital receiver module

• Digital Radio Wizard software

• Debugging tools

• Code generation tools

• Software drivers

• All necessary cables & documentation

Each system comes fully integrated into a chassis with a host computer. It will let you do what is most important – spend more time on developing your application, thus reducing you time-to-market! Check out which Digital Radio Development System is right for you!

Milcom: Digital Radio Wizard Demo
Spectrum is exhibiting at Milcom in Los Angeles October 22-25, 2000. Visit us at booth 532 where Spectrum will demonstrate the new Digital Radio Wizard software. Spectrum will show you how easily you can modify the parameters of the A/Ds and digital down converters, generate sample code, capture data at selected stages of processing, and see real-time graphical output.
