3.1 General Description
The L602i supports UMTS-2100, UMTS-800 DS-WCDMA, EGSM-900, DCS-1800, and PCS-1900. All
receivers and the UMTS transmitter use the radioOne1Zero-IF architecture to eliminate intermediate
frequencies, directly converting signals between RF and baseband. The EGSM, DCS1800 and
PCS1900 transmitters use a baseband-to-IF upconversion followed by an offset phase-locked loop
that translates the GMSK-modulated signal to RF.
1QUALCOMM’s branded chipset that implements a Zero-IF radio architecture.
3. TECHNICAL BRIEF
L602i Dual UMTS and quad GSM band functional block diagram
Z3X-BOX.COM

A generic, high-level functional block diagram of L602i 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 a switch module (plus a duplexer for UMTS operation).
UMTS band signals at the antenna are switched to the relevant UMTS duplexer. The UMTS receive
band signals are amplified by the RFL6202 LNA IC before passing through a band-pass filter and
being applied to the mixer inputs of the RFR6202 IC. On-chip circuits down-convert the received signal
directly from RF to baseband using radioOne Zero-IF techniques. The RFR6202 IC outputs analog
baseband signals for processing by the MSM device. This baseband interface is shared with the
RTR6250 GSM receiver outputs, but is separate from the GPS baseband interface.
EGSM, DCS and PCS receive signals from the antenna switch module pass through their band-pass
filters, then are applied to the RTR6250 IC. In a similar fashion to the UMTS paths, RTR6250 IC
circuits down-convert the received signals directly from RF to baseband. The GSM LO for multiband
down conversion is entirely generated within the RTR6250 IC (PLL and distribution functions) with
exception of the off-chip loop filter. The RTR analog baseband outputs are routed to the MSM6250A
IC for further processing (an interface shared with the RFR UMTS receive paths).
The UMTS transmit path begins with analog baseband signals from the MSM device that drive the
RTR6250 IC. Integrated PLL and VCO circuits generate the Tx LO used in the quadrature upconverter
that translates baseband signals directly to RF. The RTR6250 output driver stages deliver fairly high-
level signals that are filtered and applied to the power amplifiers (PA). The PA output is routed to the
antenna through a duplexer and switch module.
The shared EGSM-900, DCS-1800, and PCS-1900 transmit path begins with the same baseband
interface from the MSM6250A IC that is used for the UMTS band. A single EGSM/DCS/PCS
quadrature upconverter translates the GMSK-modulated signal to a convenient intermediate frequency
(IF) that forms one input to an offset phase-locked loop (OPLL). OPLL functions are split between the
RTR6250 IC and off-chip loop filter and dual Tx VCO circuits, and translate the GMSK-modulated
signal to the desired EGSM-900, DCS-1800 or PCS-1900 channel frequency. This signal is applied to
a dual power amplifier (only one is active at a time). The enabled path continues with the PA, an
automated power control (APC) circuit that samples the transmit power and adjusts its level, the switch
module (which includes a band-appropriate lowpass filter), and the antenna.
L602i 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 multi-mode L602i’s receiver functions are split between the four RFICs as follows:
• UMTS-800 and UMTS-2100 operation uses the RFL6202 LNA and RFR6202 Receiver ICs to
implement the receive signal path, accepting an RF input and delivering analog baseband outputs (I
and Q).
• EGSM-900, DCS-1800, and PCS-1900 modes both use the RTR6250 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.
The EGSM, DCS, and PCS receiver inputs of RTR6250 are connected directly to the transceiver front-
end circuits(filters and antenna switch module). EGSM, DCS, and PCS receiver inputs are similar to
the RFR6202 IC UMTS and GPS mixer input in that they also use differential configurations to improve
common-mode rejection and second-order nonlinearity 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 EGSM, DCS, and PCS 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 EGSM, DCS, and PCS receive signals are routed to the RTR6250 through band selection filters
and matching networks that transform single-ended 50-Ω. sources to differential 100-Ω load
impedances optimized for gain and noise figure. Similar to the RFR, the RTR input uses a differential
configuration to improve second-order intermodulation and common mode rejection performance. The
RTR6250 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 processing.
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.

These filter circuits include DC offset corrections. The filter outputs are buffered and passed on to the
MSM6250A IC for further processing (an interface shared with the RFR6202 UMTS receiver outputs).

3.2.2 GSM Transmitter
The shared GSM Low-band (EGSM900) and High-band (DCS1800, PCS1900) transmit path begins
with the baseband inputs from the MSM6250A IC. These differential analog input signals are buffered,
lowpass filtered, corrected for DC offsets then applied to the GSM quadrature upconverter. The
upconverter LO signals are generated from the transceiver VCO signal by the LO distribution and
generation circuits within RTR6250.
This upconverter translates the GMSK-modulated signal to a convenient intermediate frequency (IF)
that forms one input to a frequency/phase detector circuit. This IF signal is the reference input to an
offset phase-locked loop (OPLL) circuit as shown in Figure 1.2.2-1.
1. The dual Tx VCO output (operating in the desired RF output frequency range) is buffered within the
RTR6250 IC then applied to the mixer RF port.
2. The LO Generation and Distribution circuits that deliver the transmit path.s LO for the baseband-to-IF
upconversion also provides the .offset LO. signal that is applied to the feedback path.s mixer LO port.
