got BGAN?
]
GateHouse has been developing a fully software-defined version of the Inmarsat BGAN waveform known as
Inmarsat BGAN SDR Waveform, and will be demonstrating this using Spectrum’s
SDR-4021 software defined radio platform.
Why is this important?
For customers responsible for purchasing radios, this allows them to offer additional capabilities
while minimizing and protecting their hardware investment. Some of these new capabilities include the possibility of supporting both multiple
terrestrial and satellite communications standards on the same terminal. A terminal or radio that is based on software defined radio technology,
such as Spectrum's SDR-4021,
can minimize costly upgrades by allowing for future updates in the field via software.
For those building satellite radios, an SDR-based Inmarsat BGAN implementation allows for rapid development and customization of a satellite
terminal or radio product that must support the Inmarsat BGAN standard. Currently, manufacturers must develop much of the physical layer
waveform on their own from scratch or through re-use of existing IP. Manufacturers may also have to port or develop the waveform on
hardware developed in-house or acquired from other vendors. Development effort, cost and risk can be significantly reduced using GateHouse
Inmarsat BGAN SDR waveform that is pre-ported and tested on production-ready modem hardware.

New Virtex-5 XMC Modules
]
Spectrum introduces two new wideband I/O modules that utilize a Xilinx® Virtex®-5
FX130T FPGA device to provide high-speed, low latency signal conversion
and processing.
With Spectrum’s modular and reconfigurable architecture, customers can use these new modules to evolve their existing deployed systems and add new capabilities.
Customers can reduce the time and cost of new feature roll-outs since they can reuse their software code and leverage their intellectual property (IP) investments.
XMC-1131 Dual 14-bit High-Speed ADC and Virtex-5 Processing Engine
The XMC-1131 allows conversion and processing of 160 MHz IF signals at 80 MHz bandwidth. It has one dual channel ADS62P49 14-bit ADC with sampling at rates ranging from 40 to 250 MSPS. The ADC is integrated with a single user-programmable Virtex-5 FX130T FPGA device in a single-width VITA 42.0 XMC form factor. The XMC-1131 offers a total available bandwidth greater than 100 MHz, and two banks of 256 MB of DDR2 additional SDRAM memory available to the user FPGA.

XMC-1131 datasheet
XMC-2131 Dual 14-bit High-Speed DAC and Virtex-5 Processing Engine
The XMC-2131 allows conversion and processing of 160 MHz IF signals at 80 MHz bandwidth. The module uses two AD9755 14-bit DACs sampling at rates from 110 to 300 MSPS. Single-tone SFDR is a minimum of 65 dB at 10.7 and 70.1 MHz. The output is transformer coupled with a passband of 0.5 MHz to 90 MHz. The XMC-2131 enables coherent sampling over multiple boards, with GPS-based time synchronization.

Spectrum Selected by TUBITAK UEKAE for Testing, Porting, and Demonstration Activities for the Turkish Armed Forces
]
Spectrum recently announced that the National Research Institute of Electronics and Cryptology (UEKAE), an affiliate of The Scientific and Technological Research
Council of Turkey (TUBITAK), will use Spectrum's SDR-4000 transceiver for the development and deployment of tactical radio waveforms.
TUBITAK UEKAE will also port two different waveforms to the SDR-4000 for demonstration to the Turkish Ministry of Defense: an implementation of
STANAG 4285 for high frequency (HF) radio links and APCO Project 25 (P25) for public safety links.
The SDR-4000 is a multi-purpose reconfigurable transceiver that supports a diverse array of waveforms including:
- Wideband Networking Waveform - Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing mode (WNW OFDM)
- Soldier Radio Waveform - Electronic Warfare mode (SRW EW)
- Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS)
- Future Multiband Multiwaveform Modular Tactical Radio (FM3TR)
- APCO Project (P25)
- Inmarsat BGAN
