The block diagram shows that, in the frontend receiver, our RF/IF components, RF MMICs, and discrete components implement an SPDT switch, an LNA, an RF mixer, and a first LO. In the backend receiver, an RF/IF receiver serves as the second mixer and second LO, and provides the baseband functions for RSSI and recovered audio. In the transmitter, RF MMICs and RF discretes implement the VCO and LPA. To complete the solution, other NXP products, including the microprocessor, UART, and I2C devices, manage the system and perform user-interface functions.

  • The 630 Meter Band
    The 630 Meter Band Introduction The 630 meter Amateur Radio band is a frequency band allocated by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to the Amateur Service, and ranges from 472 to 479 kHz, or equivalently 625.9 to 635.1 meters wavelength. It was formally allocated to the Amateur Service as part of the Final Acts of the 2012 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-12). Once approved by the appropriate national regulatory authority, the band is available on a secondary basis to countries in all ITU regions with the limitation that Amateur stations have a maximum radiated power of 1 Watt effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP). Stations more than 800 km from certain countries (listed below) may be permitted to use 5 Watts EIRP however. The ITU Final Acts took effect 1 January 2013 and after public consultation on all of the ITU allocation changes contained it, the 630 meter band was added to the Canada Table of Frequencies in 2014. Several countries had previously allocated the WRC-12 band to Amateurs domestically. Several other countries had also already authorized temporary allocations or experimental operations on nearby frequencies. The band is in the Medium Frequency (MF) region, within the greater 415–526.5 kHz maritime band. The first International Wireless Telegraph Convention, held in Berlin on November 3, 1906, designated 500 kHz as the maritime international distress frequency. For nearly 100 years, the “600-meter band” (495 to 510 kHz) served as the primary calling and distress frequency for maritime communication, first using spark transmissions, and later CW. In the 1980s a transition began to the Global Maritime Distress Signaling System (GMDSS), which uses UHF communication via satellite.

  • Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) Handbook 2018 I CONTENTS
    FOREWORD This handbook has been produced by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA), and is intended for use on ships that are: • compulsorily equipped with GMDSS radiocommunication installations in accordance with the requirements of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea Convention 1974 (SOLAS) and Commonwealth or State government marine legislation • voluntarily equipped with GMDSS radiocommunication installations. It is the recommended textbook for candidates wishing to qualify for the Australian GMDSS General Operator’s Certificate of Proficiency. This handbook replaces the tenth edition of the GMDSS Handbook published in September 2013, and has been amended to reflect: • changes to regulations adopted by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) World Radiocommunications Conference (2015) • changes to Inmarsat services • an updated AMSA distress beacon registration form • changes to various ITU Recommendations • changes to the publications published by the ITU • developments in Man Overboard (MOB) devices • clarification of GMDSS radio log procedures • general editorial updating and improvements. Procedures outlined in the handbook are based on the ITU Radio Regulations, on radio procedures used by Australian Maritime Communications Stations and Satellite Earth Stations in the Inmarsat network. Careful observance of the procedures covered by this handbook is essential for the efficient exchange of communications in the marine radiocommunication service, particularly where safety of life at sea is concerned. Special attention should be given to those sections dealing with distress, urgency, and safety. Operators of radiocommunications equipment on vessels not equipped with GMDSS installations should refer to the Marine Radio Operators Handbook published by the Australian Maritime College, Launceston, Tasmania, Australia. No provision of this handbook or the ITU Radio Regulations prevents the use, by a ship in distress, of any means at its disposal to attract attention, make known its position and obtain help.

  • The 3-Minute Radio Silence Markers on Your TWCO®
    The 3-minute radio silence markers on your TWCO® All TWCO® maritime watches are equipped with this specific design feature and we will gladly explain the function of these markers. First: where does it come from? It all started quite some time ago, the early days of radio communication, and it has to do with maritime radiotelephone communication in distress situations on the typical marine MF bands: the 2182 and 500 KHz international bands for emergency and distress. In fact the sinking of the “RMS TITANIC” triggered a lot of safety rules and this is believed to be one of them. Why a radio silence period? All stations using 2182 KHz were required to maintain a strictly enforced three-minute silence and listening period twice each hour, starting at h+00, h+30. This allowed any station with distress, urgent or safety traffic the best chance of being heard at that time, even if they were at some distance from other stations, operating on reduced battery power or perhaps reduced antenna efficiency, as for example from a dismasted vessel. As a visual aide-memoire, a typical clock in a ship's radio room (see picture) would have these silence periods marked by shading the sectors from h+00 to h+03 and from h+30 to h+33 in green. Similar sectors were marked in red for what used to be the corresponding silence and listening period on 500 KHz between h+15 and h+18 and from h+45 to h+48. Now and into the future. These silence periods are no longer required as the introduction of GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress Safety System) has produced alternative automatic watch keeping systems and the 500 kHz band is no longer in use for maritime traffic.

  • United Kingdom Frequency Allocation Table (UKFAT) Details the Uses (Referred to As 'Allocations') to Which Various Frequency Bands Are Put to the UK
    1 Preface Introduction Radio waves, used by millions of people world-wide, do not conveniently stop at political or administrative boundaries. Without adequate planning and management, radio signals from different users and services would interfere with each other and radio could become useless as a means of communication. The United Kingdom Frequency Allocation Table (UKFAT) details the uses (referred to as 'allocations') to which various frequency bands are put to the UK. It also shows the internationally agreed spectrum allocations of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The ITU divided the world into three regions. These can be seen in the map below. The United Kingdom is within Region 1. Map of ITU-R Regions Changes to the international allocation of frequencies worldwide is agreed at World Radio Conferences and are incorporated into the Radio Regulations. The Radio Regulations have treaty status following ratification by ITU Member States, and contain the procedural regulations for notification, coordination and registration of radio frequencies so that harmful interference between radio stations of different countries is avoided. They also contain the international Table of Allocations for bands of frequencies to be used for providing specific radiocommunication services. These rules are detailed as footnotes in the Radio Regulations. Direct references have been made within the UKFAT to those footnotes, taken from the current ITU Radio Regulations, to the International Table which apply without qualification to the United Kingdom radio services or frequency bands concerned. All remaining International footnotes not specifically mentioned in the Table or in footnotes thereto do not therefore apply in the United Kingdom.

  • THESIS LOW-NOISE, LOW-POWER TRANSIMPEDANCE AMPLIFIER for INTEGRATED ELECTROCHEMICAL BIOSENSOR APPLICATIONS Submitted by William
    THESIS LOW-NOISE, LOW-POWER TRANSIMPEDANCE AMPLIFIER FOR INTEGRATED ELECTROCHEMICAL BIOSENSOR APPLICATIONS Submitted by William Wilson Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Science Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2014 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Tom Chen Ali Pezeshki Chuck Henry ABSTRACT LOW-NOISE, LOW-POWER TRANSIMPEDANCE AMPLIFIER FOR INTEGRATED ELECTROCHEMICAL BIOSENSOR APPLICATIONS Biosensor devices have found an increasingly broad range of applications including clinical, biological, and even pharmaceutical research and testing. These devices are useful for detecting chemical compounds in solutions and tissues. Current visual or optical methods include fluorescence and bio/chemiluminescence based detection. These methods involve adding luminescent dyes or fluorescent tags to cells or tissue samples to track movement in response to a stimulus. These methods often harm living tissue and interfere with natural cell movement and function. Electrochemical biosensing methods may be used without adding potentially harmful dyes or chemicals to living tissues. Electrochemical sensing may be used, on the condition that the desired analyte is electrochemically active, and with the assumption that other compounds present are not electrochemically active at the reduction or oxidation potential of the desired analyte. A wide range of analytes can be selectively detected by specifically setting the potential of the solution using a potentiostat. The resulting small-magnitude current must then be converted to a measurable voltage and read using a low-noise transimpedance amplifier. To provide spatial resolution on the intra-cellular level, a large number of electrodes must be used. To measure electrochemical signals in parallel, each electrode requires a minimum of a transimpedance amplifier, as well as other supporting circuitry.
