Objective
The objective of this proposal is the development of the first 800-900 MHz integrated TETRA transmitter using SiGe technology. TETRA trunked radio systems are being implemented in the 380-430 MHz frequency spectrum within Europe. Driven by cost, technical and size considerations integration of transmitter functions via Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) onto Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) using BiCMOS technology is occurring. Future European TETRA capacity requirements will not be met by the current frequency allocations, allocations that are not available/already allocated to other services outside Europe. Frequencies between 800-900 MHz are more common worldwide. Within Europe, National administrations are reviewing the availability of 800-900 MHz spectrum. The BiCMOS technique is unsuitable for 800-900 MHz. A newer technique (SiGe) can be employed.
