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 HB620T supports UMTS-2100, EGSM-900, DCS-1800, and PCS-1900 based
GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS. All receivers and the UMTS transmitter use the radioOne 1Zero-IF
architecture to eliminate intermediate frequencies, directly converting signals between RF and
baseband. The quad-band GSM transmitters use a baseband-to-IF upconversion followed by an offset
phase-locked loop that translates the GMSK-modulated or 8-PSK-modulated signal to RF.
A generic, high-level functional block diagram of HB620T is shown in [Fig. 3.1]. One antenna collects
base station forward link signals and radiates handset reverse link signals. The antenna connects with
receive and transmit paths through a FEM(Front End Module).
The UMTS receive paths each include an LNA, an RF band-pass filter, and a downconverter that
translate the signal directly from RF-to-baseband using radio One 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.

3. TECHNICAL BRIEF
- 20 -
For the transmit chains, the RTR6275 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
RTR6275 IC outputs deliver fairly high-level RF signals that are first filtered by Tx SAWs and then
amplified by their respective UMTS PAs. The high- and low-band UMTS RF transmit signals emerge
from the RTR6275 transceiver.
In the GSM receive path, the received RF signals are applied through their band-pass filters and
down-converted directly to baseband in the RTR6275 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 upconverter 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
HB620T power supply voltages are managed and regulated by the PM6650 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 Dual-mode HB620T’s receiver functions are operated by only one RFIC as follows:
■ EGSM-900, DCS-1800, PCS-1900 and UMTS-2100 modes use the RTR6275 IC only. Each mode
has independent front-end circuits and down-converters, but they share common baseband circuits
(with only one mode active at a time). All receiver control functions are beginning with SBI2-
controlled parameters.
RF Front end consists of antenna, antenna switch module (LSHS-M090UH) which includes three RX
saw filters (EGSM-900, DCS-1800 and PCS-1900). The antenna switch module allows multiple
operating bands and modes to share the same antenna. In HB620T, a common antenna connects to
one of six paths: 1) UMTS-2100 Rx/Tx, 2) EGSM-900 Rx, 3) EGSM-900 Tx, 4) DCS-1800 Rx, and 5)
DCS-1800, PCS-1900 Tx(High Band Tx’s share the same path), 6) PCS-1900 Rx. UMTS operation
requires simultaneous reception and transmission, so the UMTS Rx/Tx connection is routed to a
duplexer that separates receive and transmit signals. GSM900, DCS1800, and PCS1900 operation is
time division duplexed, so only the receiver or transmitter is active at any time and a frequency
duplexer is not required.
The GSM900, DCS1800, and PCS1900 receiver inputs of RTR6275 are connected directly to the
transceiver front-end circuits(filters and antenna switch module). GSM900, DCS1800, and PCS1900
receiver inputs use differential configurations to improve common-mode rejection and second-order
non-linearity performance. The balance between the complementary signals is critical and must be
maintained from the RF filter outputs all the way into the IC pins.
Since GSM900, DCS1800, and PCS1900 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.
2The RFIC operating modes and circuit parameters are MSM-controlled through the proprietary 3- line Serial Bus Interface (SBI). The Application
Programming Interface (API) is used to implement SBI commands. The API is documented in AMSS Software - please see applicable AMSS
Software documentation for details.
