This article will introduce you to various types of RF transceiver modems. The article will also cover Frequency-hopping spread spectrum and Modulation. These modes can be used for long-distance communication and will give you a basic understanding of how these systems work. Let's see some of the most common types of RF transceiver modems. Once you understand these two concepts, you can choose the right one for your needs.
Modulation
RF transceiver modems use specialized interfaces for voice and data communications. This is achieved by converting baseband analog signals into bits. The protocol stack controls how each bit is processed before being sent to the RF head. Modulation of RF transceiver modems is the process that allows radio waves to communicate with each other. In this article, we will explain the basic principles of how these modes work.
RF transceiver modems can send and receive signals, with the help of modulation and demodulation. IEEE 802.3 documents refer to transceivers as "Medium Attachment Units." Transceivers were widely used in 10BASE2 Ethernet networks. Today, fiber-optic gigabit Ethernet networks use transceiver systems called GBIC, QSFP, and SFP+. In addition, there are GBIC transceiver systems used in 40-Gigabit Ethernet networks. Besides, the 100-Gigabit Ethernet network uses CFP and XFP transcei.
Demodulation
Radio frequency (RF) transceiver modems process baseband messaging signals and output them as analog or digital signals. The modulation process requires that the carrier frequency of an input signal is larger than that of the message signal. Therefore, the carrier frequency must be larger than that of the message signal to achieve the best performance. In addition, an adaptive local oscillator is often used to track phase perturbations of the received signal.
A concentrated subscriber transceiver system employs a digital modem within a standard mobile subscriber unit and places it at a higher distance from the base station. A second means for processing the radio wave signals is coupled to the second end of the conductive cable and adjusts the Rx signal strength to a decibel range of the modem. This enables the processing of the radio wave signals to occur at the desired level.
Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum
Using frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) to transmit data is becoming increasingly common. The technology works by scanning all available frequencies in consecutive order. Frequency-hopping spread spectrum is also known as chirp modulation. It is like DSSS but is simpler to implement. It uses a modified AT command set to transmit data. It can also operate in scenarios where overlapping signals are common.
The use of frequency-hopping spread spectrum reduces the degradation caused by narrowband interference sources. This technique requires much higher bandwidth than a single carrier frequency. Nevertheless, the receiver receives less degradation than a single carrier. Furthermore, it requires no extra protection against wideband thermal noise. The benefits of using frequency-hopping spread spectrum are clear: it is cheaper to deploy and maintain than a single carrier modem.
RF Remote Modems
RF remote modems are useful in applications where wired connections are not feasible or desirable. They can convert information from a wired network to a wireless one. RF remotes are designed to eliminate the need for cable wires and can be deployed in any environment. They are more convenient and cost-effective than stringing a cable. They are also easy to use with plug-and-play setup. But what makes them so attractive?
XTend RF remote modems are easy to install and configure. These devices are ideally suited for applications in industrial automation, building automation, security, and SCADA. These remote devices can also be used in fleet management, asset tracking, and sensor data capture. In addition to enabling wireless connectivity, Digi XTend 900HP RF modems support a wide range of protocols. They feature 256-bit AES encryption and extensive AT/B commands to ensure the security of data.
