1. INTRODUCTION
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.

1. INTRODUCTION
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 GW620 supports UMTS-900(Band VIII), UMTS-2100(Band I), GSM-850, GSM-900, GSM-1800, and GSM-
1900 based GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS. All receivers and the UMTS transmitter use the radioOne1Zero-IF
architecture to eliminate intermediate frequencies, directly converting signals between RF and baseband.
The quad-band GSM transmitters use a baseband-to-IF up-conversion followed by an offset phase-locked
loop that translates the GMSK-modulated or 8-PSK-modulated signal to RF.

3. Technical Brief
A generic, high-level functional block diagram of GW620 is shown in Figure 1-1. One antenna collects base
station forward link signals and radiates handset reverse link signals. The antenna connects with receive and
transmit paths through Sky77521 (FEM, Front End Module,Sky77521 include FEM and GSM PAM). The UMTS
receive paths each include an LNA, an RF band-pass filter, and a down converter that translate the signal
directly from RF-to-baseband using radioOne ZIF techniques. The RFIC’s RX analog baseband outputs, for the
receive chains, connect to the MSM IC. The UMTS and GSM RX baseband outputs share the same inputs to
the MSM IC.
For the transmit chains, the RTR6285 IC directly translates the TX baseband signals (from the MSM device) to
an RF signal using an internal LO generated by integrated on-chip PLL and VCO. The RTR6285 IC outputs
deliver fairly high-level RF signals that are first filtered by TX SAWs and then amplified by their respective
UMTS PAs.
In the GSM receive path, the received RF signals are applied through their band-pass filters and down-
converted directly to baseband in the RTR6285 transceiver IC. These baseband outputs are shared with the
UMTS receiver and routed to the MSM IC for further signal processing.
The GSM/EDGE transmit path employs one stage of up-conversion and, in order to improve efficiency, is
divided into phase and amplitude components to produce an open-loop Polar topology:
1. The on-chip quadrature up-converter translates the GMSK-modulated signal or 8-PSK modulated signal, to
a constant envelope phase signal at RF;
2. The amplitude-modulated (AM) component is applied to the ramping control pin of Polar power amplifier
from a DAC within the MSM
GW620 power supply voltages are managed and regulated by the PM7540 Power Management IC. This
versatile device integrates all wireless handset power management, general housekeeping, and user
interface support functions into a single mixed signal IC. It monitors and controls the external power source
and coordinates battery recharging while maintaining the handset supply voltages using low dropout,
programmable regulators.
The device’s general housekeeping functions include an ADC and analog multiplexer circuit for monitoring
on-chip voltage sources, charging status, and current flow, as well as user-defined off-chip variables such as
temperature, RF output power, and battery ID. Various oscillator, clock, and counter circuits support IC and
higher-level handset functions. Key parameters such as under-voltage lockout and crystal oscillator signal
presence are monitored to protect against detrimental conditions.

3.2 GSM MODE
3.2.1 GSM RECEIVER
The GSM-850, GSM-900, GSM-1800, and GSM-1900 receiver inputs of RTR6285 are connected to the
transceiver front-end circuits(switch module) through saw filters. GSM-850, GSM-900, GSM-1800, and GSM-
1900 receiver inputs use differential configurations to improve common-mode rejection and second-order
non-linearity performance as shown in Figure 1-2. The balance between the complementary signals is critical
and must be maintained from the RF filter outputs all the way into the IC pins

3. Technical Brief
Since GSM-850, GSM-900, GSM-1800, and GSM-1900 signals are time-division duplex (the handset can only
receive or transmit at one time), switches are used to separate RX and TX signals in place of frequency
duplexers – this is accomplished in the switch module. The GSM-850, GSM-900, GSM-1800, and GSM-1900
receive signals are routed to the RTR6285 through saw filters and matching networks that transform single-
ended 50-Ω sources to differential impedances optimized for gain and noise figure. The RTR input uses a
differential configuration to improve second-order inter-modulation and common mode rejection
performance. The RTR6285 input stages include MSM-controlled gain adjustments that maximize receiver
dynamic range.
The amplifier outputs drive the RF ports of the quadrature RF-to-baseband downconverters. The
downconverted baseband outputs are multiplexed and routed to lowpass filters (one I and one Q) having
passband and stopband characteristics suitable for GMSK or 8-PSK processing. These filter circuits include DC
offset corrections. The filter outputs are buffered and passed on to the MSM7200A IC for further processing as
shown in Figure 1-3.
