HSM-2000
HSM-2000 & HSM-2050

Building on our long tradition of world class RF products, the High Speed Modem (HSM) is the latest generation HF/VHF/UHF RF modem from Rockwell Collins and is three products in one: the highest performance HF/VHF/UHF modem currently available in narrowband RF channels up to 25 kHz, a world class HF Channel Simulator, and remote radio interoperability unit bridging HF/VHF/UHF radio networks for voice or synchronous data.


KEY FEATURES
  • A world-class HF/VHF/UHF modem with over 13 major waveform standards, advanced GUI signal displays, built-in text chat, and top user data rates of:

    Channel (kHz) Coded Rate (kbps) 
    9.61 / 162 
    19.21 / 322 
    8.33 32 
    12.5 48 
    21.6 76.8 
    25 96 
    1.Sky wave 2.Surface wave  

  • A real-time, NATO validated, 2-channel, HF Channel Simulator.
  • A unit that interconnects base stations and remote transceivers for both audio and synchronous data via an Intranet/Internet. The same unit can be used to provide voice interoperability between two different radio networks.
  • Many standard asynchronous, synchronouse, and Ethernet interfaces.
  • Remote controllable across standard IP network.
  • Available on Rockwell Collins 19" 1U full rack (2000 MKII) or 8.5" 1U half rack (2050 MKII) chassis.


HSM-2000 & HSM-2050 ELEMENTS

HF/VHF/UHF Modem Waveforms - 96 kbps
Software defined high data rate HF, VHF, and UHF modem intended for use in both military and commercial applications. It supports most major HF standards with rates up to 9.6 kbps skywave/16 kbps surface wave in 3kHz (SSB) and 19.2kbps skywave/32 kbps surface wave in 6 kHz (ISB). ISB operation and HF Diversity are standard. In V/UHF user data rates in a single 25 kHz channel go up to 96 kbps (coded) with the autobaud capable waveform. This modem supports Ethernet, synchronous serial, and asynchronous serial data interfaces.

Waveforms Included:

  • VUHF 25K VW - 16 to 96 kbps (coded) using 25 kHz channel
  • VUHF 20K BW - 2.4 to 76.8 kbps (coded) using 21.6 kHz channel
  • VUHF 12K5 BW - 2.4 to 48 kbps (coded) using 12.5 kHz channel
  • VUHF 8K33 BW - 2.4 to 32 kbps (coded) using 8.33kHz channel
  • VHDR - Very High Data Rate HF Waveform up to 16 kbps in 3 kHz channel
  • STANAG 4539
  • STANAG 4285
  • STANAG 4415
  • Mil-Std 188-110A Serial Tone
  • Mil-Std 188-110B Appendix B
  • Mil-Std 188-110B Appendix C
  • Mil-Std 188-110B Appendix F
  • Programmable FSK
  • STANAG 4529
  • Comm Airborne 1800
  • Comm Maritime 1440

Other Features:

  • Built-in Text Chat;
  • Comprehensive Signal Display (including BER and impulse response);
  • Modem Probe mode to characterize and debug the signal path between modems/radio pairs to determine SNR, available bandwidth, radio ALC and AGC effects and distortion from non-linear effects as shown in Figure 1;
  • Internal/External Loopback provides install test at unit or system level;
  • Remote Control GUI via Ethernet;
  • Load/Save Multiple User Configurations easily;
  • Comes standard with a Data and Control Software Development Kit (SDK) to allow application developers to interface their products to the modem using socket connections.

HF Channel Simulator
Real-time Multi-Channel lonospheric Channel Simulator simulates the effect of an HF channel.

The HF channel simulator implements an enhanced Watterson HF channel model, providing both traditional Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) and CCIR Recommendation 322 noise. It can simulate up to 2 channels, each having up to 5 delay taps. Each delay tap can be set between 0-26ms. Furthermore, for each delay tap the doppler spread can be set between 0.1-100Hz.


AUDIO/SYNCH SERIAL RI UNIT

The Audio/Synch Serial Remoting/Interoperability (RI) Unit allows users to connect remote base stations and transceivers through an Intranet or the Internet for real-time audio (Figure 1) or encrypted synchronous serial data (Figure 2). In the synchronous serial data remoting case, the functionality of a modem has, in essence, been split into two components as shown in Figure 3.

Figure 2: Remoting Synchronous Serial Data across an IP Network


Figure 3: Synchronous Remoting Concept


Features:
  • On the receive side, each HSM can connect up to 2 SSB radios. Each radio can be addressed using the IP address of the HSM and a port. Each base station can connect to only one radio at a time (for both Tx and Rx directions) or can connect to two radios simultaneously on in the Tx direction and one in the Rx direction (audio only).
  • To change which remote HSM a base station HSM is connected, the base station need only change the IP address using its control GUI.
