CHAPTER 6ANTENNA SETUPSRevised: 13 Sep 05 6-10 EST P/N AA104NOTE: 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 7THEORY OF OPERATION Revised: 9 Oct 03 7-1 EST P/N AA104INTRODUCTIONESTeem 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 portsto 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 userson a single frequency. The packet burst communications technique was chosen to give the system very high data integrity inhigh noise industrial environments. The ESTeem incorporates a method of error checking that provides received data accuracyof greater than one part in 100 million.Internal Digi-Repeater features allow the user to increase operating range by relaying transmission through a maximum of threeESTeems to reach the destination ESTeem. An ESTeem can operate as an operating node, a repeater node, or bothsimultaneously for added flexibility."Private Data Communications" is provided by the use of an interleaving technique of the modulated data, user definablecommands for unit addressing, network addressing, and security lock-out of software programming. If higher security isrequired, the ESTeem is compatible with asynchronous Data Encryption Standard (DES) encryption devices.The ESTeem has programmable software commands to allow the user to easily configure the unit for any application or mission. The ESTeem setup parameters are saved in non-volatile memory.When you buy ESTeem products you are getting equipment designed by the company that holds the United States andCanadian patent for the wireless modem. We are proud to say that we design, develop and manufacture our products in theUnited States. Each ESTeem is subjected to a rigorous quality control bench test before shipping to insure our customers haveout-of-the-package reliability. We also have a dedicated Customer Support Staff, Field Engineering Services and FactoryTraining classes to make sure that your application problems are solved.HOW IT WORKSNow, as you can probably guess, the ESTeem is a sophisticated piece of technology, however the concept is easy tocomprehend if you understand packet radio. All packet systems, whether hardwired or radio, share the same principle of operation; data is taken from your standard RS-232C,RS-422, or RS-485 asynchronous port and is transmitted in "Blocks". Think of this block as an "Electronic Envelope" that wecall a packet. The size of the packet can be defined by the user from 1 to 2000 bytes of information. Reducing the size of thepacket allows the ESTeem to operate better in high EMF noise environments, because by reducing the packet size you reducetransmission exposure time on the radio waves thereby increasing your probability of a successful transmission. Once this packet of data is formed, it’s transmitted in a "burst," one ESTeem to another, hence the term "packet burstcommunications". Now, if more than one packet is required to send the data then the ESTeem goes into full automatic mode andtransmits additional packets. Before an ESTeem transmits its packet it listens to ensure that the air waves are clear before transmitting. This listen beforetransmit scheme is called "carrier sensed multiple access," or CSMA. When a "packet" has been transmitted, every modem in radio range on the same frequency hears it. To design a modem tocommunicate with a network of modems it has to be "address specific" so only the modem you want to talk to accepts yourinformation. It's like yelling into a crowd of 255 people but you want only the person’s name you called to acknowledge (ACK).
CHAPTER 7THEORY OF OPERATION Revised: 9 Oct 03 7-2 EST P/N AA104Well, very simply, that's how the ESTeem works. Once the address you're calling receives your packet, it's checked foraccuracy. 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 thepacket once its been received. The CRC insures data integrity greater than one part in one hundred million. Once the CRC iscompleted on the received packet, the data is outputted to the user and a positive acknowledgment (ACK) is transmitted back tothe sender. It's safe to assume that the data you receive is good data or you get nothing at all using the CRC technique. If no ACK isreturned after a given delay, the sender assumes the packet was not received and "retries" the transmission. The number ofretries are user definable from 1 to 255, allowing the unit to automatically retry sending the packet. SPECTRUM UTILIZATIONThe ESTeem uses a "listen before transmit" or Carrier Sensed Multiple Access (CSMA) scheme. This means only one unit in anetwork is allowed to transmit at a time. By fixing each user's communication window and allowing the computer in the ESTeemto be the Air Traffic Controller, many individual users can share one frequency. The ESTeem firmware can support up to 255ESTeems on a single channel or frequency. For example in the United States there are 1600 frequencies (12.5 kHz channelspacing) in UHF, giving a network density of greater than 408,000 users in a given cell or geographical area. Once you are out ofradio range, you can construct another cell of users.The CSMA technique is a very efficient way to manage your network of ESTeems and prevent communication bottlenecks. Inaddition, an anti-collision software scheme is used to recover data if two or more units transmit at exactly the same time. Whenthis feature is added the technical term for this technique is now called CSMA-CD (collision detection). By using this communications technique only one frequency channel is needed with a very narrow bandwidth (this is callednarrow band FM modulation) thereby saving valuable radio spectrum space.PACKET PROTOCOLSBy using CSMA no polling station or token is required in the ESTeem network. When an ESTeem has information to send it willcheck to see if the channel is clear before transmitting its packet and await an (ACK). The ESTeem is a Master/Master system,meaning any ESTeem can communicate with any other ESTeem.FLOW CONTROLThe ESTeem supports hardware and software flow control, which allow different devices on the network to communicate atdifferent baud rates. In addition to flow control the ESTeem also has a 4000 byte data buffer on both the receive and transmitbuffers in the unit.DATA PRIVACYData privacy in the ESTeem is provided by three levels of data encoding in the firmware and by the user being able to defineover four security and communications parameters (Unit Address, Network ID, and Operating Frequency) that allowcommunications access to the modem giving over 100 million combinations. If higher security is required, the units arecompatible with asynchronous Data Encryption Standard (DES) encryption peripherals.
CHAPTER 7THEORY OF OPERATION Revised: 9 Oct 03 7-3 EST P/N AA104EFFECTIVE BAUD RATEThe maximum input baud rate to the modem is 19,200 baud, asynchronous, full duplex, but this is misleading since the ESTeemsactually communicate to each simplex over the RF link, at 19,200 bps (25 kHz channel spacing - Model 192C/F) or 9,600 bps (12.5kHz channel spacing - Model 192C/F). The effective baud rate is a function of the above plus the packet length variable in theESTeem (definable from 1 to 2000 bytes). If the packlength variable is set to 2000 bytes the effective baud rate is approximately18,000 baud (25 kHz channel spacing) or 9,000 baud (12.5 kHz channel spacing) the effective baud rate will degrade as thepacklength variable is reduced. Another item that must be understood is transmission turn around time. Remember that the ESTeem sends a data packet andwaits for an (ACK) from the destination modem before another packet is transmitted. All radio transmitters have a fixed delaytime, this is the amount of time it takes the transmitter to stabilize once it is energized before it can send data. In the ESTeem thedelay is approximately 15 milliseconds one way which includes transmitter turn-on time and packet frame overhead or a total turnaround time accounting for the (ACK) of 30 milliseconds. Therefore total time to send a data packet is 30 milliseconds plus thetime required to send the data (i.e. number of bits sent/19,200 b/s).
