CHAPTER 6 ANTENNA SETUPS NOTE: For mobile applications the antenna must be mounted to maintain a minimum 50 cm. distance between the radiating element and any nearby person. When mounted on a vehicle it would be necessary to mount the antenna on the roof of the vehicle to ensure this minimum separation distance is maintained.
CHAPTER 6 ANTENNA SETUPS Programming The ESTeem Model 192 For SWR Measurements 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Configure the hardware as per the above diagram. Turn Switch 2 on the RS-232 Setup Switch (located on the rear of the ESTeem) to the OFF position. Reset the ESTeem (front panel push button). Install the ESTeem Utility on the PC hard drive as per instructions with the software. From Utility Main Menu (Figure 1) select the Terminal Emulation Mode.
CHAPTER 7 THEORY OF OPERATION INTRODUCTION ESTeem wireless modem products provide a "Wireless Solution" by eliminating conventional hardwiring of leased phone lines. All of the ESTeem models come with the industry standard RS-232C, RS-422, and RS-485 asynchronous communications ports to give the user a new dimension to "Local Area Networking". Our packet burst, frequency agile communications products allow the user to create a "Radio Area Network" of up to 255 users on a single frequency.
CHAPTER 7 THEORY OF OPERATION Well, very simply, that's how the ESTeem works. Once the address you're calling receives your packet, it's checked for accuracy. Accuracy is probably the single most important part of any communication device. The ESTeem uses Forward Error Correction (FEC) and a 32 bit Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) which is a very sophisticated method of checking the data integrity of the packet once its been received. The CRC insures data integrity greater than one part in one hundred million.
CHAPTER 7 THEORY OF OPERATION EFFECTIVE BAUD RATE The maximum input baud rate to the modem is 19,200 baud, asynchronous, full duplex, but this is misleading since the ESTeems actually communicate to each simplex over the RF link, at 19,200 bps (25 kHz channel spacing - Model 192C/F) or 9,600 bps (12.5 kHz channel spacing - Model 192C/F). The effective baud rate is a function of the above plus the packet length variable in the ESTeem (definable from 1 to 2000 bytes).
