Subject: DE70321 System Level Test Results
This document contains typical system level test results for the DE70321 AIS
Demonstration Kit, an evaluation and demonstration resource that contains an AIS
demonstration transmitter and dual receiver along with a CMX7032 AIS Baseband Processor.

Subject: DE70321 VCO and Sensitivity Enhancement
This document contains details of how the performance of designs based on the DE70321 AIS
Demonstration Kit may be enhanced for certain applications.
For full class B compliance, the receivers’ local oscillators are controlled using an LMX2332
dual PLL IC. In particular, the 1st LOs require excellent phase noise performance in order to
meet the demanding adjacent channel rejection standard.
Whilst the existing design achieves this at the AIS operating frequencies, improvements can be
made to the VCO circuits to give better ACR performance (typically 72-76dB rejection) across the
entire marine band.
