1. Introduction

1.1. Purpose

This Document will provide the design constraints for the inclusion of the 7700L TX into a Cattron-Theimeg
Inc. product capable of meeting the requirements of FCC part 90, DOD chapter 5.3.2, ETSI 300-220v2.1.1,
this module will be configured by software and cover the frequency ranges of 406.1125MHz to

419.9875MHz. and power ranges 1mW to 250mW.

Modulation schemes supported will be, 2GFSK

This design is to be based on the latest generation Analog Devices ADF7021 High Performance Nar rowband
ISM Transceiver IC.

1.2. Scope

This document is to define the requirements for this TRX to maintain operation within FCC rules and

approved operation, to include.

Transceiver interface.
Supported protocols.
Hardware target size.
Software requirements.
Operating band.
Exi testing and approvals.

1.3. Definitions, Acronyms, Abbreviations

1.3.1. Definitions

Anomaly. Anything observed in the documentation or operation of software that deviates from

expectations based on previously verified software products or reference documents. A critical
anomaly is one that must be resolved before the V&V effort proceeds to the next life- cycle phase.

Third Party Testing. The verification testing required to be carried out by an authorized body.
