Printed in USA Quedan reservados todos 10s derechos ISBN: O-87259-568-4 ARRL Order Number: 5684 First Edition On Amateur Digital Communications This is the first time I’ve participated in an ARRL Digital Communications Conference. I know that these conferences have served as a sounding board for technical ideas. Some have become standards and accepted by the mainstream. Amateur packet radio is certainly an example of amateurs contributing to the state-of-the-art. The League is now faced with increasing difficulty justifying our precious spectrum. It doesn’t at all reflect poorly on amateurs. The problem is that commercial services are seeking spectrum, on a shared basis if necessary, when they can’t get exclusive allocations. If you’d asked me earlier this year if extensive amateur use of a band would protect it against encroachment, I would have said “yes.” You will remember the saying, “Use it or lose it.” Well, we certainly can lose a band by not using it. But the little LEO experience has taught us that even the most-used band can become the target for someone desperately seeking spectrum. This means that we must fully develop our bands, not just to occupy them, but to tilfill the purposes of the Amateur Radio Service. Ultimately, this means public service in the broadest sense of the term. We either provide the services that the world and the country think worth the investment of spectrum or we see our bands increasingly targeted by other services. Advancing the radio art and technical training certainly are included in this broad definition of public services. The Amateur Radio digital community and these conferences have upheld this public trust. One of the League’s strategic objectives is to foster closer relationships with Amateur Radio technical organizations. TAPR is one of the organizations with which we already have close ties. We have agreed that the ARRL Digital Communications Conference and the TAPR Annual Meeting can be associated in time and place, and that TAPR would do most of the organizing. There are some other details that make it a win-win solution. I wish you a productive conference. Rodney J.

Bandy, WOUT, ex-WAOUTT, ex-WNOTSK; Wichita, KS U.S.A. 4th of July, 1996 Abstract. This paper is about porting some assembler programs in the text authored by Rulph Chassaing and Darrell W. Horning, titled, “Digital Signal Processing With the TMS320C25”, published by John Wiley & Sons, New York, ISBN o-471-51 066-1, 1990, phone I-800.CALL-WILE, (hereafter the text) to the TAPlVAMSAT DSP-93 ham radio modem kitted by the Tucson Amateur Packet Radio, Corp. (TAPR), Tucson, AZ, phone l-817-383-0000. Porting these senior/l st year graduate electrical/computer engineering student level programs taught the author many things about digital signal processing (DSP) in general and TAPR/AMSAT DSP-93 modem in particular. AMSAT is an acronym for Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation. Key Words Assembler, DSP, Programming, Modem, TMS320C25 Introduction. There are several different dialects of the programming language of Assembler. It is fortunate from a learning prospective that the Speech Technology Inc.% shareware Table Driven Assembler (TASM) program7 supplied with the TAPR/AMSAT DSP-93 modem will not process the Texas Instruments, Inc. (Tl) dialects used in the text. These dialects are TI-Tag, COFF (common object file format), and TI-Tag macro. Porting Programs to the TAPR/AMSAT DSP-93 Modem. While porting some of the numerous TI-Tag programs the author made some notes that might make the learning path easier for other hams. Tl-Tag TASM Change AORG to .ORG END to .END DATA to .WORD > to h hex example: >2E to 02Eh * to ; for comments EQU to .EQU BIOZ to WAIT4 1. Use .MSFIRST before the first .WORD or the bytes will store reversed. 2. Move tables to the bottom of the program. 3. Move interrupt routines to the bottom of the program. 4. On the modem BO is in program memory, initially. 5. Prefix a comment in an instruction line with a semi-colon. 6. .WORD converts a minus base 10 number to a 2’s compliment number in base 16. example: -7782 will appear on the assembly listing as E19A 10 16 7. The use of .ORG in the table definition is not required and using it my result in code overlaying other code in memory. 8. Any address in a statement in the inclusive range of 60,6F on page 0 must be changed to another address as the modem’s monitor uses these addresses. 9. All 4 digit hexidecimal numbers must be prefix with a zero if the left digit is not zero. Example: 7E52 is coded 07E52 10. Do not use the SXF and BIOZ instructions because they cause halts. 11. Insert the following at the top of the program. AR0 .EQU OOh AR1 .EQU Olh AR2 .EQU 02h AR3 .EQU 03h AR4 .EQU 04h AR5 .EQU 05h AR6 .EQU 06h AR7 .EQU 07h 12. Do not use MODE and RATE instructions because they are Analog Interface Board (AIB) instructions. The parameters in them can be used in the Analog Interface Chip (AIC) initialization routine. 13. TAPR/AMSAT DSP-93’s AIC is TLC32044 (sin x/x feature). Text’s AIC is TLC32041 (no sine x/x feature). 14. 10 - 22,000 hz is the range of music. The text has Texas Instrument (Tl) assembler programs for both the Analog Interface Board (AIB) and the Analog Interface Chip (AIC), similar to the one that’s in the modem. Porting the AIC programs just requires some syntax changes, address changes, and re-ordering the data blocks and routines. The AIB programs also requires the AIB initialization code (mode, rate) to be replaced by AIC registers initialization code and interrupt routines. The monitor* (operating system) supplied with the modem uses certain registers and memory locations, so any portion of the text program using these memories must be moved by changing register names and memory addresses, and/or memory page numbers. To manage memory it might be helpful to draw and color code registers, memory blocks, and memory pages on paper. Save it for future reference. The software development kit supplied with the modem has several routines whose calls can be temporary placed in the ported program code to display registers & memory data (CALL DEBUG)*1 and addresses on a computer screen to assist debugging. Most of these programs loop continuously until the reset button is pushed. If the same address displays every so often, it is looping. Placing LED lighting code8 after certain instructions can also be helpful in determining what routines are executing, etc.

  • Efficient Multi-Carrier Communication on the Digital Subscriber Loop
    Efficient Multi-Carrier Communication on the Digital Subscriber Loop Donnacha Daly Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Faculty of Engineering and Architecture University College Dublin National University of Ireland A thesis presented to the National University of Ireland Faculty of Engineering and Architecture in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2003 Research Supervisors: Dr. C. Heneghan Prof. A. D. Fagan Head of Department: Prof. T. Brazil Abstract This thesis explores three distinct philosophies for improving the efficiency of multi-carrier com- munication on the digital subscriber loop. The first topic discussed is impulse response shortening for discrete multitone transceivers. The minimum mean-squared error impulse response shortener is reformulated to allow near-optimal rate performance. It is demonstrated that the best existing eigen-filter designed channel shortener is a particular case of the proposed reformulation. An adap- tive time-domain LMS algorithm is provided as an alternative to eigen-decomposition. The next part of the thesis examines bit- and power- loading algorithms for multitone systems. The problem of rate-optimal loading has already been solved. It is shown, however, that the rate-optimal solu- tion does not give best value for complexity, and that near optimal schemes can perform very well at a fraction of the computational cost. The final section of the thesis is a brief exposition of the use of wavelet packets to achieve multi-carrier communication. It is proposed that the non-uniform spectral decomposition afforded by wavelet packet modulation allows reduced inter-symbol inter- ference effects in a dispersive channel.

Brief Description The CMX865A is a multi-standard modem for use in Wireless Local Loop, Short Message Service telephone based information and telemetry systems. Flexible line driver, hybrid and receiver circuits are integrated on chip, requiring only passive external components to build a 2 or 4-wire line interface. A high-quality DTMF decoder with excellent immunity to falsing on voice and a standard DTMF encoder are included. Alternatively, these blocks can be used to transmit and detect user-specific, programmed single and dual-tone signals, simple melodies, call progress signals or modem calling and answering tones. Host control and data transfer is via a high-speed serial bus that operates in normal and Powersave modes and which is compatible with most simple types of µC serial interface. An embedded USART allows multi-format asynchronous data and unformatted synchronous data to be received or transmitted as 8-bit bytes. The CMX865A operates from a single 3.0V to 3.6V supply over a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and is available in 16-pin SOIC (D4) and 16-pin TSSOP (E4) packages.
