Practical Modem Design Solutions and Design Validation

At Entiv, we have the knowledge and tools needed to more effectively analyze, specify, and solve a multitude of common wireless data modem design problems.

Entiv help you design and implement better performing wireless and wireline data modems for telepohony, mobile and satellite communications.

At Entiv we utilize TAS (Telecom Analysis Systems) products to aid in the development, manufacture, and evaluation of sophisticated electronic communications equipment. We use TAS test equipment to test wireless voice and data communications transceivers. PSTN data and fax modems, ISDN and DSL transmission equipment, and much more. We have several years of experience utilizing TAS Series II Plus Telephone Network Emulator, TAS 100 Series, TAS GT Series Modem Test Systems, TAS Gemini Warp Dual Terminal Emulator, TAS 240A Voiceband Subscriber Loop Emulator, TAS 2200A Loop Emulator, and TAS 2270 Digital Subscriber Loop Emulator. 

Based on the Entiv's several years of experience in wireless product design, "Practical Wireless Data Modem Design"... 

Entiv provides analysis methods for phase lock loops, phase noise, spurious emissions intermodulations, electromagnetic interference and more.

Entiv presents design details of satellite ground station modems and the interaction between link budgets and modem performance specifications and implementations.

At Entiv we explore digital cellular telephone modem performance issues, various modulation types and modem applications, explain modem design "Rules of Thumb", and supply the design details of a functional (63,47) Reed Solomon Codec used in CDPD. With extensive experience with complex digital communications concepts and full coverage of FCC legal requirements.
