The USCG Command and Control Engineering Center (C2CEN) Portsmouth, VA has a requirement to purchase: a total of 130 each Beacon Signal Generator. 1200-SMSK-PIVIAFE Digital Global Position System (DGPS) Beacon Signal Generator The 1200~SMSK-PMAFE is the signal generation module of the MR-1O1 enhanced DGPS medium frequency data modulator. This module accepts signals from a DSP card PMAFE interface and generates a Shaped MSK modulated data at user selectable data rates and carrier frequency. The 1200-SMSK-PMAFE timing is based on either an internal or an external 10 MHz frequency reference that may be both time and frequency synchronized to an external One-PPS pulse from GPS. The l200-SMSK-PMAFE is designed to operate with a companion DSP card, for example, the Momentum Data Systems HAWK89 board, hosted on a PC PCI bus. This combination permits control of the modulation process and the generation of the desired data message. To permit immediate testing of the 1200-SMSK-PMAFE, the cards are shipped with SMSK modulator test software. This Windows? based program generates a phase modulated carrier using standard RTCM SC 104 formatted 6-of-8 formatted messages or fixed internally generated test messages. 1200-SMSK-PMAFE specifications when interfaced with the HA WK89 DSP card (MRD-101) and CEI control software ITEM Specification Mating Motherboard Momentum Data Systems Hawk 89 ADSP Internal Frequency Reference 10MHz, *2.5 ppm, ?30 to +70?C Rear Panel Frequency Trim External Frequency reference Input >025 Volts peak-to-peak Jumper Selectable 50 ohms termination External One-PPS Input >025 Volts peak-to-peak Jumper Selectable 50 ohms termination Carrier Output Impedance 50 Ohms Carrier Output Frequency Range 105 to 535 kHz Carrier Amplitude +10 dBm + 1 dB into 50 Ohm load Out-of-Band Spurious -58dBc Voltage / Power Requirement 3-5 vdc supplier through Hi-Speed Header Mechanical interface / Interface Connector 76 pin surface mount (Amp MICTOR series), board stacking height 0.43?
