1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 SIMOCO PULSE AIR DATA MODEM
The Simoco Pulse Air Data Modem is one of the Simoco Pulse suite of products, which enable organisations to deploy Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) telemetry applications over narrowband Private Mobile Radio (PMR). Using wireless radio infrastructure as the
communications carrier, Simoco’s Pulse solutions enable SCADA applications to be quickly and
cost effectively deployed across large operational areas. The Simoco Pulse Air Data Modem is a DC powered, standalone unit based on the SDP600 Series
Portables Radio Transceivers that connects to a local Remote Telemetry Unit (RTU) using a serial port. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3) control messages are wirelessly transported between Master and Slave over a PMR system using Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) modulation and Tier III trunking protocols.
The infrastructure end is comprised of a DMR base station that has an integrated RTU gateway, which, via a User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Internet Protocol (IP) connection to an IP to Serial converter, will relay any DNP3 message to and from its connected Master to and from the applicable Slave RTU unit within the radio coverage of the base station.
1.2 SPECIFICATIONS
The specifications of the Simoco Pulse Air Data Modem are detailed in the following paragraphs and tables.

The Pulse Air Data Modem consists of three main Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), these are:
the RTU Modem Interface PCB; the Light Emitting Diode (LED) Display PCB; and the SDD690 Radio PCB based on the SDP600 Series Portable Radio. See the SDP600
Series DMR Portable Radio Transceiver – Service Manual[1] for more information.
A simple block diagram of the Pulse Air Data Modem is shown below in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Data Modem Simple Block Diagram.
A block diagram of the Interface PCB is shown below in Figure 2.

The connectors on the Pulse Air Data Modem are shown below in Figure 3. The functions of each connector are detailed in Table 6.
Figure 3. Data Modem Connectors.
Table 6. Data Modem Connections.
2.2.1 Antenna Connection
The antenna connection on the Pulse Air Data Modem is provided with a 50 Ω female SMA socket. The Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of the antenna connection should be tested prior to use
by using of a suitable test set, e.g. an Anritsu/Wiltron S331A. A VSWR of 1.5:1 or better at the relevant frequencies should be ensured.
Mating connectors should be galvanically compatible with nickel outer and gold centre pin to minimise passive intermodulation.
It is recommended that a good quality flexible co-axial cable is used, e.g. with double-screening braid and multi-strand copper inner.
