SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Welcome to MOTOTRBOTM!
Improving workforce productivity and operational effectiveness requires superior communications
quality, reliability, and functionality. MOTOTRBO is the first digital two-way radio system from
Motorola specifically designed to meet the requirements of professional organizations that need a
customizable, business critical, private communication solution using licensed spectrum.
MOTOTRBO combines the best in two-way radio functionality with digital technology to deliver
increased capacity and spectral efficiency, integrated data applications and enhanced voice
communications.
MOTOTRBO is an integrated voice and data system solution comprising of mobile and portable
radios, audio and energy accessories, repeaters, and a third-party application partner program.

This system planner will enable the reader to understand the features and capabilities of the
MOTOTRBO system, and will provide guidance on how to deploy and configure the system and its
components to take advantage of its advanced capabilities.
This system planner is divided into 5 sections, with the first being this introduction. Section 2
provides an overview of system level features. Section 3 describes the system components in
more detail. Section 4 provides guidance on system design considerations including configuration
of components. Section 5 provides product sales and support information.

SECTION 2 SYSTEM FEATURE OVERVIEW
2.1 MOTOTRBO Digital Radio Technology
This section provides a brief overview of MOTOTRBO digital radio technology. It addresses two of
the primary benefits delivered by this technology: spectral efficiency and improved audio
performance.

Figure 2-1 MOTOTRBO Digital Radio Technology
Figure 2-1 "MOTOTRBO Digital Radio Technology" is broken down into four parts which are
described in the following subsections.
2.1.1.1 Part One: The Analog to Digital Conversion
When a radio user presses the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button and begins speaking, his voice is
received by the radio microphone and converted from an acoustic waveform to an analog
electrical waveform. This voice waveform is then sampled by an analog to digital converter. In
typical radio applications, a 16-bit sample is taken every 8 kHz, this produces a 128,000bps (bits
per second) digital bitstream, which contains far too much information to send over a 12.5 kHz or
25 kHz radio channel. Therefore some form of compression is required.
2.1.1.2 Part Two: The Vocoder and Forward Error Correction (FEC)
Vocoding (Voice encoding) compresses speech by breaking it into its most important parts and
encoding them with a small number of bits, while greatly reducing background noise. Vocoding
compresses the voice bitstream to fit the narrow (for MOTOTRBO) 6.25 kHz equivalent radio
channel. The MOTOTRBO vocoder is AMBE+2TM which was developed by Digital Voice System,
Inc. (DVSI), a leader in the vocoding industry. This particular vocoder works by dividing speech
into short segments, typically 20 to 30 milliseconds in length. Each segment of speech is analyzed,
and the important parameters such as pitch, level, and frequency response are extracted. These
parameters are then encoded using a small number of digital bits. The AMBE+2TM vocoder is the
4 System Feature Overview
first to demonstrate very low bit rates while producing toll-quality speech such as traditionally
associated with wireline telephone systems.
Together with the vocoding process, Forward Error Correction (FEC) is also applied. FEC is a
mathematical checksum technique that enables the receiver to both validate the integrity of a
received message and determine which, if any, bits have been corrupted. FEC enables the
receiver to correct bit errors that may have occurred due to radio frequency (RF) channel
impairment. This effectively rejects noise that can distort an analog signal and by comparison
enables more consistent audio performance throughout the coverage area. At this stage, the
vocoder has already compressed the 128,000bps input signal to 3,600bps.
2.1.1.3 Part Three: Framing
In framing, the vocoded speech is formatted for transmission. This includes organizing the voice
and any embedded signaling information (such as color code, group ID, PTT ID, call type, etc.)
into packets. These packets form a header and payload type of structure the header contains the
call control and ID information, and the payload contains the vocoded speech. This same structure
can also relay Internet Protocol (IP) data packets the IP packets are simply an alternative form of
payload to the MOTOTRBO radio. The header information is repeated periodically throughout the
transmission, thereby improving the reliability of the signaling information as well as enabling a
receiving radio to join a call that may already be in progress we refer to this condition as "late
entry".
2.1.1.4 Part Four: TDMA Transmission
Finally, the signal is encoded for a Frequency Modulation (FM) transmission. The bits contained in
the digital packets are encoded as symbols representing the amplitude and phase of the
modulated carrier frequency, amplified, and then transmitted.
TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) organizes a channel into 2 time slots: a given radio's
transmitter is active only for short bursts, which provides longer battery life. By transmitting only on
their alternating time slots, two calls can share the same channel at the same time without
interfering with one another, thereby doubling spectrum efficiency. Using TDMA, a radio transmits
only during its time slot (i.e. it transmits a burst of information, then waits, then transmits the next
burst of information).
2.1.1.5 Standards Compliance
The digital protocols employed in MOTOTRBO (from vocoding and forward error correction to
framing, transmission encoding, and transmission via two-slot TDMA) are fully specified by the
ETSI1 DMR2 Tier 23 Standard, which is an internationally recognized standard with agreements
among its supporting members. Although formal interoperability testing and verification processes
for this standard have yet to fully mature, Motorola anticipates that MOTOTRBO radio systems w
