1. Introduction
1.1. Purpose
This manual provides the information necessary to repair, calibration, description and download the
features of this model.
1.2. Regulatory Information
A. Security
Toll fraud, the unauthorized use of telecommunications system by an unauthorized part (for example,
persons other than your company’s employees, agents, subcontractors, or person working on your
company’s behalf) can result in substantial additional charges for your telecommunications services.
System users are responsible for the security of own system.
There are may be risks of toll fraud associated with your telecommunications system. System users
are responsible for programming and configuring the equipment to prevent unauthorized use. The
manufacturer does not warrant that this product is immune from the above case but will prevent
unauthorized use of common carrier telecommunication service of facilities accessed through or
connected to it. The manufacturer will not be responsible for any charges that result from such
unauthorized use.
B. Incidence of Harm
If a telephone company determines that the equipment provided to customer is faulty and possibly
causing harm or interruption in service to the telephone network, it should disconnect telephone
service until repair can be done. A telephone company may temporarily disconnect service as long as
repair is not done.
C. Changes in Service
A local telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities or procedure. If these
changes could reasonably be expected to affect the use of the phones or compatibility with the net
work, the telephone company is required to give advanced written notice to the user, allowing the user
to take appropriate steps to maintain telephone service.
D. Maintenance Limitations
Maintenance limitations on the phones must be performed only by the manufacturer or its authorized
agent. The user may not make any changes and/or repairs expect as specifically noted in this manual.
Therefore, note that unauthorized alternations or repair may affect the regulatory status of the system
and may void any remaining warranty.
E. Notice of Radiated Emissions
This model complies with rules regarding radiation and radio frequency emission as defined by local
regulatory agencies. In accordance with these agencies, you may be required to provide information
such as the following to the end user.

F. Pictures
The pictures in this manual are for illustrative purposes only; your actual hardware may look slightly
different.
G. Interference and Attenuation
A phone may interfere with sensitive laboratory equipment, medical equipment, etc. Interference from
unsuppressed engines or electric motors may cause problems.
H. Electrostatic Sensitive Devices
ATTENTION
Boards, which contain Electrostatic Sensitive Device (ESD), are indicated by the sign. Following
information is ESD handling:
• Service personnel should ground themselves by using a wrist strap when exchange system boards.
• When repairs are made to a system board, they should spread the floor with anti-static mat which is
also grounded.
• Use a suitable, grounded soldering iron.
• Keep sensitive parts in these protective packages until these are used.
• When returning system boards or parts like EEPROM to the factory, use the protective package as
described.

3.1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The RF platform of BL42K supports two different communication modes (WCDMA/GSM modes) including
five communication bands (W2100/W850/GSM900/GSM1800/GSM190). The all the RF blocks can be divided
into three main parts, which are a WCDMA part, a GSM, and an antenna switch Mode.
The simplifed block diagram is shown in Figure 1.1.1i

3.3 3.2 GSM MODE
The EDGE/GPRS/GSM transceiver use a digital interface that is shared between receive and transmit data.
The receive interface is based on I and Q data and the transmitter interface is based on envelop and
frequency data.
The quad band EDGE/GSM/GPRS transceiver has the following general features:
Power class
GMSK low bands: Class 4 (33 dBm)
GMSK high bands: Class 1 (30 dBm)
8PSK low bands: Class E2 (27 dBm)
8PSK high bands: Class E2 (26 dBm)
Multi slot class 12 (4+4=5)
Dual Transfer Mode (DTM) class 9 (3+2=5)
Zero-IF receiver
-Polar modulation transmitter
3.2.1 GSM RECEIVER
There are two recommended GSM receiver path configurations; bothare shown in Figure 1.3.2.1. The
configuration shown on top allows the GSM 850 and GSM 1900 bands to share the UMTS 850 and UMTS 1900
paths for US applications and uses four LNA inputs to support quad-band GSM operation.
The lower example uses two LNAsfor quad-band GSM operation (one low band and one high
band), with two-way SAW filters between the antenna switch and the QSC inputs for each
band type.

3.2.2 GSM TRANSMITTER
The QSC62x0 device supports quad-band GSM transmissions with two separate dual-band
driver amplifer outputs; in fact, most Tx active circuits are contained within the device.
Both GSM transmit paths (Figure 1.3.1.1) begin with a single, shared analog baseband
signal from the device’s baseband circuits - the same interface and baseband circuits used
by the UMTS transmitters. The GSM transmitters use the same quadrature upconvertersas well
-one for low band signals and one for high band —with just one active at a time. The
transmiter LO signals are generated by circuits described.
in next section and delivered to the upconvertercircuits at the correct frequency, with
the proper phase relationship, and with an adequate drive level.
The SPDT switches at each driver amplifier input allow selectionof the output signal:
either the actual GSM signal from the upconverteror a test signal generated by the Tx LO
synthesizer. The Tx output chain is functionally identical for both the low band and the
high band: the power amplifer is driven by the QSC device through a matching network
and a resistive attenuator; the PA output is routed to the antenna switch module whose
output is connected to the antenna. In addition to the through signal path, the QSC device
also provides the PA ramp control signal that ensures smooth transitions while the
transmitter is turned on and off for GSM’sburst transmissions.
The ramp signal is generated by one of the baseband circuit’s Tx DACs. A switch after
the baseband amplifer selects whether the DAC output signal is routed to GSM PA
module for ramping the PA up or down, or to the transmitter signal path fo
transmission.

The W-CDMA transceiver uses differential analog in-phase and quadrature-phase interfaces,
That is an IQ-interface, both in the receiver and transmitter information path..
The transceiver has the following general features:
. Power class : Power class 3 (+24dBm) in Band II and V
. Zero-IF Receiver.NoIF filter needed
. Direct IQ modulation transmitter
