GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Z87200 is a programmable single-chip, spread-spec-
trum, direct-sequence transceiver. The Z87200 incorpo-
rates Stanford Telecom spread-spectrum and wireless
technology and is identical to Stanford Telecom's STEL-
2000A. By virtue of its fast acquisition capabilities and its
ability to support a wide range of data rates and spread-
spectrum parameters, the Z87200 spread-spectrum trans-
ceiver supports the implementation of a wide range of
burst data communications applications.
Available in both 45- and 20-MHz versions, the Z87200
performs all the digital processing required to implement a
fast-acquisition direct sequence (such as pseudonoise- or
DS96WRL0400
PN-modulated), spread-spectrum full- or half-duplex sys-
tem. Differentially encoded BPSK and QPSK are fully sup-
ported. The receiver section can also handle differentially
encoded pi/4 QPSK. A block diagram of the Z87200 is
shown in Figure 1; its pin configuration is shown in Z87200
receive functions integrate the capabilities of a digital
downconverter, PN matched filter, and DPSK demodula-
tor, where the input signal is an analog-to-digital converted
I.F. signal. Z87200 transmit functions include a differential
BPSK/QPSK encoder, PN modulator (spreader), and
BPSK/QPSK modulator, where the transmitter output is a
sampled digitally modulated signal ready for external digi-
