2. Description of the CDA70 radio modem
2.1. General
The CDA70 radio modem is a device for wireless data transmission. Communication
between two radio modems is a simplex one and is carried out on a single frequency. Modems
work in frequency band of 143 to 174 MHz (CDA70V) and 403 to 470 MHz (CDA70U).
Transmission rate is 21.7 kbit/sec when using the FFSK modulation and channel spacing 20
and 25 kHz or 10.8 kbit/sec when using channel spacing 12.5 kHz. Transmission rate is 10.8
kbit/sec when using the GMSK modulation and channel spacing 20 and 25 kHz or 5.4 kbit/sec
when using channel spacing 12.5 kHz. Transmission power output of the radio modem is
adjustable from 10 mW to 5 W.
The CDA70 radio data modem is controlled by a 32-bit communication processor
providing communication on the radio channel and individual interfaces. The CDA70 modem
has four serial data interfaces (communication ports) and one with direct attachment
of input/output peripherals for data collection and CIO technological process control. It is
possible to set transfer parameters and communication protocol separately for each port.
As a result, you may use the radio modem to communicate with various user interfaces using
different communication protocols on the serial interface.
The communication protocol used for communication between modems on the radio
channel provides for access of the modem to the radio channel, collision solving,
retranslations and other functions necessary for cooperation of modems within a radio data
network. It allows creating of a large network on a single radio channel and independent
operation of multiple radio networks on a single frequency. The radio data modem CDA-70 is
possible to use in combination with other modems of the system AGNES. Description
of the system AGNES is in reference [2].

2.3. Description of individual components
2.3.1.
Radio component
Working frequency of the radio component is synthetizer-controlled separately for
reception and transmission. It is tuneable within a broad frequency band (see Technical
parameters table). Several levels of the radio module transmitter power output can be set
(from 10 mW to 5 W). The controlling microcomputer program controls setting of the working
frequency and transmitting power output. The radio module supplies the microcomputer
with information on the radio signal level being received (RSSI – Received Signal Strength
Indicator). This information is used for measuring of the signal strength between individual
nodes of the radio network.
