DSSS modulator COM-1012 -> 0-80 MHz Modulator COM-4004 This test setup demonstrate the spread-spectrum output spectrum at 70 MHz Intermediate Frequency. Modulation rates: 100 Kchip/s, 1 Mchip/s, 9.9 Mchip/s Connect an external 10 MHz frequency reference to the COM-4004 modulator. (a) import the 1012_4004.stn settings into the assembly. (b) using a spectrum analyzer, check the COM-4004 output. The output is a direct-sequence spread-spectrum modulated signal at 70 MHz center frequency. The level is about -TBD dBm. (d) Using the ComBlock Control Center, change the COM-1012 registers REG0/REG1/REG2 to the following values and observe the following spectrum outputs: REG0/1/2/3 = D7 A3 00 selects a 100 Kchip/s direct sequence spread-spectrum modulation REG0/1/2/3 = 66 66 06 selects a 1 Mchip/s direct sequence spread-spectrum modulation REG0/1/2/3 = 29 5C 3F selects a 9.9 Mchip/s direct sequence spread-spectrum modulation For 100 Kchip/s: The -6 dB bandwidth is 100 KHz. For 1 Mchip/s: The -6 dB bandwidth is 1 MHz. For 9.9 Mchip/s: The -6 dB bandwidth is 9.9 MHz.
