Paul Beard talks about Spektrum and DSM:
“I was determined to find a solution for pin-queuing
and shoot-downs. I worked as a semiconductor RF
engineer in the USA. I knew what was needed and
thought I knew how to implement it. Faced with
overwhelming skepticism from fellow RF engineers
and leaders of leading RC equipment manufacturers,
I pulled it off. Diversity was the
epiphany - combining time,
frequency and path diversity
turned a poor performing
link into something perfect.
It is a major shift in our
industry that delivers
benefits on many
levels - I am very
proud to be a part
of the ride.“
Paul has received awards from the British Model Flying
Association and Fédération Aéronautique Internationale for his
work on Spektrum™ technology. He has also been elected to the
International Radio Controlled Helicopter Association Hall of Fame.
DSMX
®
technology is a three-dimensional 2.4GHz
protocol that adds a smart FHSS protocol to the
wideband spread spectrum signal and dual path
redundancy of patented MultiLink™ technology that
has made DSM2
®
technology so successful.
DSMX frequency shifts are coordinated using the
most advanced FHSS algorithm ever seen in an RC
application. Unlike other FHSS transmitters that all
hop in the same fixed patterns, every DSMX transmit-
ter has its own unique frequency shift pattern calcula-
ted using its GUID (Globally Unique Identifier). And
each pattern uses a smaller portion of the 2.4GHz
spectrum.
By adding the agility of unique frequency shifts to
the superior interference resistance of a wideband
signal, and limiting those shifts to a smaller portion of
the 2.4 band, DSMX transmitters provide on-channel
interference protection that is simply second to none.
The result is quicker reconnection times and superb
response in the noisiest 2.4GHz environment.
Another important aspect of DSMX technology is
its conformity to EU regulations governing use of
the 2.4GHz band. It’s also completely compatible
with older DSM2 technology, so you don’t have to
worry about replacing any DSM2 receivers you may
already have.
