Subject: TETRA An Overview

TETRA has been developed under the auspices of ETSI as a single pan-European standard to bring the benefits of digital transmission: security, clarity of speech, seamless data transmission and efficient spectrum usage, to mobile radio.
TErrestrial Trunked RAdio, TETRA presents some interesting challenges for the terminal design engineer.

Subject: Using the CMX980A for Non-TETRA Radio Schemes

The CMX980A is a truly universal in-phase and quadrature (I/Q) compatible digital radio baseband processor that can used with many types of analogue and digital modulation including AM, FM, SSB, QAM, BPSK, QPSK, FSK, etc.
It is a highly integrated system which saves space and cost for the manufacturers producing both analogue and digital radio products. The device allows baseband signals to directly modulate the I/Q carriers for Pi/4DQPSK, or allows direct write access to the I/Q Tx 79-tap filter inputs for use in systems where different modulation schemes are used.
The CMX980A already meets the demanding specifications required by TETRA and thus the programmable filters available on-chip are capable of meeting the requirements of any analogue or digital communication system.
The discussion in this application note describes some of the theory behind I and Q modulators, and details how the CMX980A could be used with any modulation scheme:
