Digital Up and Down Converter for High Performance VHF and UHF transceiver

Abstract

The Digital Up and Down Converter (DUC/DDC) is a basic building part of the professional digital mobile transceiver. The paper presents DDC/DDS for dual mode professional VHF/UHF transceiver developed for railway radio. The transceiver complies ETSI standards for NFM and Digital Mobile Radio (DMR). The DUC/DDC is featured with the channel selectivity exceeding 70 dB and dynamic range more than 90 dB. The implementation of the other standards that use constant envelope modulation like small satellite UHF communication links is also possible.
