TMDSLCDK6748: Enquiry about signal transmission.

Part Number: TMDSLCDK6748
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AFE79-LMH9-EVM, OMAP-L138

Hello there,

I have to transmit a video using COFDM modulation, so I need at least 8Mhz of bandwidth, small form factor.

TMS320C6748 looks good for my application.

I am concerned about the transmission of the signal:
1. Can I transmit the video signal by connecting an antenna to it, OR do I have to connect a separate RF unit? And if so then can you suggest any solution?
2. Does it need any other hardware for programming the board?

Basically, I need a COFDM video transmitter and a receiver, so I want to know how can I wirelessly transmit my modulated video signal to my receiver?



Thanks

For questions about the wireless transmission, please refer to our offerings in RF transceivers: https://www.ti.com/rf-microwave/transceivers-transmitters-receivers/overview.html

The TMDSLCDK6748 does not feature an RF unit on the board, so this would need to be connected to an external solution.

The LCDK does not have an onboard emulator. An external emulator from TI or a third party will be required.

The User Guide for the TMDSLCDK6748 provides more detailed information: https://www.ti.com/lit/ug/spruil2a/spruil2a.pdf

Regards,
Kyle

Thank you for your time!

After looking into the RF transceivers you suggested, I found out the evaluation board which is the AFE79-LMH9-EVM Evaluation Module. It looks good so I wanted to ask you, can it be used as the RF unit as per the application I described?

And if I want to use this along with TMDSLCDK6748, is there any possible way to integrate the transceiver module with the DSP so that as I get the output in COFDM I can transmit it using the RF transceiver at my receiver station?

Basically, Can I directly integrate the AFE79-LMH9-EVM Evaluation Module with OMAP-L138/C6748 Low-Cost Development Kit (LCDK)?
