A low power embedded radio module based on reconfigurable system-on-a-chip (SoC) technology that enables cost-effective wireless communications between deployed radio systems and central infrastructure systems over UHF SATCOM networks.

Spectrum’s embedded radio module technologies can be tailored specifically for SATCOM Backhaul applications, such as Combat Net Radio (CNR). Based on Spectrum’s MILCOM reference designs, Spectrum can design a single card solution to support black-side (RF-to-Ethernet) digitization and processing of complex waveforms requiring low latency deterministic operation to maintain synchronization on a time synchronous network. The solution can be conduction-cooled for rugged configuration, support a single IF input/output channel, an internal or external 10 MHz reference or high-speed sample clock, Gigabit Ethernet, RS-232 and JTAG connectivity. The rugged configuration is size, weight power and cost optimized for production deployments in harsh environments

For details on other embedded radio module options, please refer to the SDR-4800 family datasheet.
