To secure speech transmissions against evaesdroppers, you could scramble the
|
|||
|
speech information by rearranging its frequency spectrum. This Technique has
|
|||
|
particular application for radio-link transmissions for example, in land
|
|||
|
mobile radios, cellular radios, or cordless phones-in which it's relatively
|
|||
|
easy for third parties to tune in to the transmission frequency.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
To My knowledge, the FX204 variable-split-band Frequency-inverter IC
|
|||
|
performs scrambling or descrambling of speech on one chip. The IC splits
|
|||
|
voiceband information into High and Low Frequency Bands and then inverts
|
|||
|
each band around its center frequency. The FX204's switched capacitor
|
|||
|
filters split the frequency spectrum, and its balanced modulators perform
|
|||
|
the frequency inversion of each band. All Clocking information for the filters
|
|||
|
and modulators comes from a single external 1-MHz crystal that you can connect
|
|||
|
directly across two of the IC's pins.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Five CMOS-Compatible latched programming inputs allow you to program the
|
|||
|
device's internal clock dividers to produce one of 32 diffrent voiceband-
|
|||
|
frequency split points between 350Hz and 2800Hz. You can hard-wire these
|
|||
|
inputs to produce a fixed-code scrambler, or you can Dynamically change them
|
|||
|
during the transmission to produce a rolling-code scrambler.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The IC's Transmit/Recive control input optimizes the internal operation
|
|||
|
of the FX204 for scrambling or descrambling. To recombine the upper and lower
|
|||
|
frequency bands and provide a low-impedance audio output, the IC has on-chip
|
|||
|
summing amplifier with external gain defining resistors.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The FX204 requires a transmission-channel bandwidth of 300 to 3400 Hz;
|
|||
|
However it reduces the Upper bandwidth limit of the transmitted speech
|
|||
|
frequency to 2700 Hz. The Redirection in effective speech-frequency bandwidth
|
|||
|
occurs because the fx204 separates the high and low frquency band by 700Hz in
|
|||
|
order to reduce spurious outputs.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
You can opeate the device over narrower transmission-channel bandwidths
|
|||
|
for example, the 3-kHz bandwidth used for mobile radio by reducing your
|
|||
|
external crystal oscillator's clock frequency. The Audio Input is capable
|
|||
|
of handling a maximum input signal of at least 340 m V rms; the Dynamic
|
|||
|
range is 25 dB typ.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Fabricated in CMOS technology, the FX204 operates from a single 5v supply.
|
|||
|
It draws 3 mA typ (10 mA max) of supply current so it's suitable for use
|
|||
|
in battery-powered equipment. Supplied in a 24-pin ceramic DIP or Surface-
