3.1 General Description
The KF390 supports UMTS-2100, EGSM-900, DCS-1800, and PCS-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 upconversion followed by an offset
phase-locked loop that translates the GMSK-modulated or 8-PSK-modulated signal to RF.
1QUALCOMM’s branded chipset that implements a Zero-IF radio architecture.
3. TECHNICAL BRIEF

Only for training and service purposes
A generic, high-level functional block diagram of KF390 is shown in [Fig. 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 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 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 RTR6280 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
RTR6280 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 RTR6280 transceiver.
In the GSM receive path, the received RF signals are applied through their band-pass filters and
downconverted directly to baseband in the RTR6280 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
KF390 power supply voltages are managed and regulated by the PM6658 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 KF390’s receiver functions are operated by only one RFIC as follows:
• EGSM-900, DCS-1800, PCS-1900 and UMTS-2100 modes use the RTR6280 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 (DGM129M01) 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 KF390, 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.
2The RFIC operating modes and circuit parameters are MSM-controlled through the proprietary 1- 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.

The GSM900, DCS1800, and PCS1900 receiver inputs of RTR6280 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.
The GSM900, DCS1800, and PCS1900 receive signals are routed to the RTR6280 through band
selection filters and matching networks that transform single-ended 50Ω 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 RTR6280 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 MSM6280 IC
for further processing (an interface shared with the RFR6275 UMTS receiver outputs).
