Twin WiMAX RF Transceiver

19-inch, rack-mount, two-channel, WiMAX RF analog front end

The Twin WiMAX RF Transceiver is a 19-inch, rackmount, two-channel, WiMAX, analog RF front end designed to work with Lyrtech advanced development platforms.
The transceiver covers the WiMAX 2.5 GHz band (2.3–2.7 GHz). When it is combined with Lyrtech’s SignalMaster Dual or SignalMaster Quad, and the ADACMaster III, the transceiver becomes a complete and integrated hardware/software development solution for advanced WiMAX development. The front end also covers all the ISM bands and makes all sorts of Wi-Fi (b, g, n) applications possible.

Highlights

• Rack-mount, two-channel 2.3–2.7 GHz analog RF front end
• Superheterodyne receiver (IF baseband = 44 MHz)
• Superheterodyne transmitter (IF baseband = 18 MHz)
• Half-duplex transceiver (allows TDD)
• Dual SISO or 2×2 MIMO modes (4×4 MIMO also possible)
• Software-selectable 7 MHz and 22 MHz RX bandwidths
• RF transmission power up to 30 dBm
• Controllable RX gain up to 15 dB for AGC implementation

GEDOMIS

The Generic Hardware Demonstrator for MIMO Systems (GEDOMIS) hosts a real-time implementation of the IEEE 802.16e-2005 physical layer featuring a 2×2 MIMO configuration and a high 20 MHz bandwidth. The algorithms of the mobile WiMAX receiver were modeled with MATLAB, designed with custom VHDL and implemented in FPGA devices operating in real-time using Lyrtech’s VHS-ADC and SignalMaster Quad. The VHDL code was integrated to the target boards with Lyrtech's own BSDK. For details about GEDOMIS, click here or view the GEDOMIS video on the Multimedia tab.
