CHAPTER 1. Circuit Description
1. RF Transmit/Receive Part
1.1 Overview
The RF transmit/receive part employs the direct conversion architecture (ZIF, Zero Intermediate
Frequency). The transmit/receive frequency is respectively 824~849MHz and 869~894MHz.
The block diagram is shown in [Figure 1-1].
RF signals received through the antenna are fed into RFR6122 through the duplexer. And then, they
pass the low noise amplifier (LNA), combined with the signals of local oscillator (VCO) at the
frequency mixer in order to create baseband signal directly.
Baseband signals created are changed into digital signals by the analog / digital converter (ADC, A/D
Converter) and then, auto gain controlled and, sent to the MSM6025 (Mobile Station Modem) of the
digital circuit part. Then, they are demodulated by the modulator / demodulator.
In the case of transmission, MSM6025 modulates, interpolates, and converts the digital signal into an
analog baseband before sending it to the RFT6122.
RFT6122 receives OQPSK-modulated anlaog baseband signals from the MSM6025’s Tx part. The
RFT6122 upconverts the Tx analog baseband into RF.
The RFT6122 connects directly with MSM6025 using an analog baseband interface. In RFT6122, the
baseband quadrature signals are upconverted to the Cellular Tx frequency bands and amplified to
provide signal drive capability to the power amp.
After that, the RF signal is amplified by the Power Amp in order to have enough power for radiation.
Finally, the RF signal is sent out to the cell site via the antenna after going through the duplexer

1.2 Description of Receive Part Circuit
1.2.1 Duplexer (DP100)
The duplexer consists of the receive part bandpass filter (BPF) and the transmit part bandpass filter
(BPF) which have the function of separating transmit/receive signals in the full duplex system using
the transmit/receive common antenna. The transmit part BPF is used to suppress noises and spurious
waves entering the receive band among transmit signals in order to prevent the drop in receive
sensitivity characteristics. The receive part BPF blocks the signals sent out from entering the receive
end in order to improve sensitivity characteristics.
Insertion loss (IL) in the transmit band is 2.8dB (Max), whereas IL in the receive band is 2.1dB (Max).
The receive band attenuation amount of transmit filter is 51dB (Min) and the transmit band attenuation
amount of receive filter is 45dB or more (Min).
1.2.2 LNA (U107)
The RFR6122 has cellular LNA. The characteristics of Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) are low noise
figure, high gain, high intercept point and high reverse isolation. The frequency selectivity
characteristic of mobile phone is mostly determined by LNA.
The specifications of RD5330 LNA are described below.

1.2.3 Rx RF SAW FILTER (F101)
The main function of Rx RF SAW filter is to attenuate mobile phone spurious frequency, attenuate
noise amplified by the LNA and suppress second harmonic originating in the LNA.
1.2.4 Down-Converter Mixers (U107)
The RFR6122 device performs signal direct-down-conversion for Cellular applications. It contains all
the circuitry (with the exception of external filters) needed to support conversion of received RF
signals to baseband signals. The LO Buffer Amplifier buffers the RF VCO to the RF Transmit
Upconverter. RFR6122 offers the most advanced and integrated CDMA Rx solution designed to meet
cascaded Noise Figure (NF) and Third-order Intercept Point (IIP3) requirements of IS-98C and
J-STD-018 specifications for Sensitivity, Two-Tone Intermodulation, and Single-tone Desense.
Operation modes and band selection are specially controlled from the Mobile Station Modem MSM6025.

1.3 Description of Transmit Part Circuit
1.3.1 Description on the Internal Circuit of MSM6025 (U201) and RFT6122 (U106)
For the transmit data path(Tx), the MSM6025 modulates, interpolates, and converts the digital signal
into an analog baseband before sending it to the RFT6122. The RFT6122 upconverts the Tx analog
baseband into RF. The MSM6025 communicates with the external RF and analog baseband to control
signal gain in the RF Rx and Tx signal paths, educe base band offset errors, and tune the system
frequency reference.

The RFT6122 baseband-to-RF Transmit Processor performs all Tx signal-processing functions
required between digital baseband and the Power Amplifier Module (PAM). The baseband quadrature
signals are upconverted to the Cellular frequency bands and amplified to provide signal drive
capability to the PAM. The RFT6122 includes an mixer for up-converting analog baseband to RF, a
programmable PLL for generating Tx and Rx LO frequency, cellular driver amplifier and Tx power
control through an 85 dB VGA. As added benefit, the single sideband upconversion eliminates the
need for a band-pass filter normally required between the upconverter and driver amplifier.
I, I/, Q and Q/ signals proceed from the MSM6025 to RFT6122 are analog signal. In CDMA mode,
These signals are modulated by Offset Quadrature Phase Shift King (OQPSK). I and Q are 90 deg.
out of phase, and I and I/ are 180 deg. The mixer in RFT6122 converts baseband signals into RF
signals. After passing through the upconverters, RF signal is inputted into the Power Amplifier Module.

1.4 Description of Frequency Synthesizer Circuit
1.4.1 Voltage Controlled Temperature Compensation Crystal Oscillator (U101)
The temperature range that can be compensated by VC-TCXO which is the reference frequency
generator of a mobile station is -30~+80 °C.
VC-TCXO receives frequency tuning signals called TRK_LO_ADJ from MSM6025 as 0.5V~2.5V DC
via R and C filters in order to generate the reference frequency of 19.20MHz and input it into the
frequency synthesizer of UHF band. Frequency stability depending on temperature is ±2.0 ppm.
1.4.2 Voltage Controlled Oscillator (U107)
The internal VCO signal of RFR6122 is processed by the LO generation and distribution circuits in
RFR6122 to create Cellular quadrature downconverter’s LO signals. The LO signals applied at the
mixer ports are at the frequency different than the VCO frequency. This assures that the VCO
frequency is different than the RF frequency, an important consideration for Zero-IF processing. The
VCO frequency used are 1738.08~1787.94MHz for cellular and It is produced in single voltage
controlled oscillator of U107.

2.3.2 MSM Part
MSM6025 is the core element of a CDMA mobile station that includes ARM7TDMI microprocessor
core. The subsystems within the MSM6025 include a CDMA processor, a multi-standard Vocoder, an

monitoring, an ARM7TDMI microprocessor, and both Universal Serial Bus(USB) and an RS-232 serial
interfaces supporting forward and reverse link data communications of 307.2 Kbps simultaneously.
And it also contains complete digital modulation and demodulation systems for CDMA cellular
standards, as specified in IS-95-A/B/C.
The CPU controls total operations of the subscriber unit. Digital voice data, that have been inputted,
are encoded using the QCELP algorithm. Then, they are convolutionally encoded so that error
detection and correction are possible. Coded symbols are interleaved in order to avoid a burst error.
Each data channel is scrambled by the long code PN sequence of the user in order to ensure the
confidentiality of calls.
Moreover, binary quadrature codes are used based on Walsh functions in order to discern each
channel. Data created thus are 4-phase modulated by one pair of Pilot PN code and they are used to
create I and Q data.
When received, I and Q data are demodulated into symbols by the demodulator and then,
de-interleaved in reverse to the case of transmission. Then, the errors of data received from Viterbi
decoder are detected and corrected. They are voice decoded at the vocoder in order to output digital
voice data.
The MSM6025 also supports Enhanced Variable Rate Coder (EVRC) operation in addition to the
standard 8k and 13k vocoding rating.
