3. TECHNICAL BRIEF
3.1 General Description
The RF parts consists of a transmitter part, a receiver part, a synthesizer part, a voltage supply part,
a VCTCXO part. And the main RF Chipset CX74017[U441]is a single-chip dual-band transceiver for
the extended global system for mobile communication[E-GSM900MHz]/Digital communication
system[DCS1800MHz] voice and data transfer applications.
This device integrated a direct conversion receiver architecture, which eliminates the need of
Intermediate Frequency, a transmitter based on a modulation loop architecture and fractional-N
synthesizer part with built in TXVCO and Local-VCO.
3.2 Receiver
The Receiver part in CX74017 contains all active circuits completely, full receiver chain with the
exception of discrete front-end RF SAW filters. The filtered and amplified signal is down converted
in the RF-mixer to the baseband output. The receiver path is supported by internal channel filtering.
The RF front-end circuit is shown Fig. 3-1.

3. TECHNICAL BRIEF
- 14 -
A. RF front end
RF front end consists of Antenna Switch(FL405), dual band LNAs integrated in transceiver(U441).
The Received RF signals (GSM 925MHz ~ 960MHz, DCS 1805MHz ~ 1880MHz) are fed into the
antenna or mobile switch. An antenna matching circuit is between the antenna and the mobile
switch.
The Antenna Switch (FL405) is used to control the Rx and TX paths. And, the input signals VC1
and VC2 of a FL405 are connected to DCSSEL(GPO_9) and GSMSEL(GPO_11) ports of U103 to
switch either TX or RX path on. When the RX path is turned on, the received RF signal then feeds
either Rx_900_RF or RX_1800_RF path controlled by GSM-RX and DCS-RX respectively. This
Rx_900_RF path contains one SAW filter, followed after the Antenna Switch (FL405), to filter any
unwanted signal apart from the DCS RX band. And, the RX_1800_RF path is the same case.
The logic and current for Antenna Switch is given below Table 3-1.
Table 3-1. The logic and current
These two paths are then connected to the LNAGSMN (#11) and LNADCSIN (#13) of CX74017
(U441), respectively. A low-noise bipolar RF amplifier, contained within the U441, amplifies the RF
signal. The RF signals from the front-end pass to the receiver mixers within the U441 device.
B. Demodulator and baseband processing
In direct conversion receiver there is only one mixer down-converting received RF signal to BB
signal directly. The gain down converting mixer is 40dB at high gain mode and 22dB at low gain
mode.
The Rx gain setting is done in the AGC algorithm. The nominal gain of the receiver is set as a
function of the expected signal strength at the antenna input so that a desired level is reached at
the Rx I/Q. 7 blocks in the receiver chain have variable gains, LNA, Mixer, LPF1, VGA1, gmC Filter,
Auxiliary gain control and VGA2. The gain settings can be adjustable via 3-wire bus control lines.
The baseband signals pass via integrated low-pass filters to the baseband A/D converters.
The remainder of the channel filtering is performed by the baseband chipset. The demodulator
contains switches to maintain the sense of the baseband I/Q outputs with respect to the incoming
RF signal on both GSM900 and DCS1800.
C. DC Offset Compensation
Three correction loops ensure that DC offsets, generated in the CX74017, do not overload the
baseband chain at any point.
After compensation, the correction voltages are held on capacitors for the duration of the receive
slot(s). A rising edge on the RXEN signal, selected via the serial interface, placed the DC
compensation circuitry in the track mode.

3.3 Transmitter Part
The Transmitter part contains CX74017 active parts, PAM and Antenna Switch. The CX74017
active part consists of a vector modulator and offset phase-locked loop block(OPLL) including
down-converter, phase detector, loop filter and dual band transmit VCO which can operate at either
final RF output frequency. The RF GMSK outputs from the transmit VCO are fed directly to the RF
power amplifiers.
Figure 3-2. Transmitter Block diagram
The peak output power and the profile of the transmitted burst are controlled by means of power
control loop. The power control function is integrated, eliminating the need for directional couplers,
detector diodes, power control IC and other power control circuitry. This allows the module to be
driven directly from the DAC output. The PA outputs from the directional coupler pass to the
antenna connector via Antenna Switch.
A. IF Modulator
The baseband converter(BBC) within the GSM chipset generates I and Q baseband signals for the
transmit vector modulator. The modulator provides more than 40dBc of carrier and unwanted side-
band rejection and produces a GMSK modulated signal. The baseband software is able to cancel
out differential DC offsets in the I/Q baseband signals caused by imperfections in the D/A
converters.
The TX-Modulator implements a quadrature modulator. The IF-frequency input signal is split into
two precise orthogonal carriers, which are multiplied by the baseband modulation signal IT/ITX and
QT/QTX. It is used as reference signal for the OPLL.

B. OPLL
The offset mixer down converts the feedback Tx RF signal using LO to generate a IF modulating
signal. The IF signal goes via external passive bandpass filter to one port of the phase detector. The
other side of the phase detector input is LO signal. The phase detector generates an error current
proportional to the phase difference between the modulated signal from the offset mixer and the
reference signal from the LO.
The error current is filtered by a second order low-pass filter to generate an output voltage which
depends on the GMSK modulation and the desired channel frequency. This voltage controls the
transmit VCO such that the VCO output signal, centered on the correct RF channel, is frequency
modulated with the original GMSK data. The OPLL acts as a tracking narrowband band pass filter
tuned to the desired channel frequency. This reduces the wideband noise floor of the modulation
and up-conversion process and provides significant filtering of spurious products.
C. Synthesizer
The CX74017 includes a fully integrated UHF VCO with an on-chip LC tank.
A single sigma-delta fractional-N synthesizer can phase lock the local osillator used in both transmit
and receive path to a precision frequency reference input. Fractional-N operation offers low phase
noise and fast setting times, allowing for multiple slot applications such as GPRS.
The generated frequency is given by the following equation
where : = Generated VCO frequency
N = N-divider ratio integer part
FN = Fractional setting
R = R-divider ratio
= Reference Frequency

D. Power Amplifier
The RF3110[U416] is a Dual band amplifier for E-GSM(880 to 915MHz) and DCS1800(1710 to
1785MHz). The efficiency of module is the 50% at nominal output power for E-GSM and the 45%
for DCS1800. This module should be operated under the GSM burst pulse. To avoid permanent
degradation, CW operation should not be applied. To avoid the oscillation at no input power,
before the input is cut off, the control voltage Vapc should be control to less than 0.5V.
We have to improve thermal resistance, the through holes should be layouted as many as
possible on PCB under the module. And to get good stability, all the GND terminals should be
soldered to ground plane of PCB.

3.6 Testing Set-up and Checking Signals
A. Received RF Level and Checks
This section shows the typical RF levels expected throughout the receiver path. A block diagram
showing the locations of the RF measurement points and levels is shown in Fig. 3-11.
Receiver Testing Set-up
To check the receiver the following conditions have to be set:
On a signal generator or a GSM/DCS test box, output a CW signal of amplitude = -60 dBm at either:
947.4 MHz (CH62) when testing the GSM RX path or 1842. 6 MHz (CH699) when testing the DCS
RX path. Set the DC power supply to 4.0 V.
Note: All RF values shown are only intended as a guide figure and may differ from readings taken
with other test equipment and leads. Lead and connector losses should always be taken into
account when performing such RF measurements.
Testing Receiver
Using a suitable high frequency probe measure the RF levels at the relevant points shown in Fig. 3-
9 and compare your measurements with those shown in the diagram. If there are any major
difference between the readings taken and those indicated then further investigation of that
particular point will be required. It will also be necessary to ensure that all the following power
supplies and signals are present which control this part of the receiver circuit :
1. The Control Signal of FEM (see Fig. 3-15, 16, 17)
2. RF2V8 (see Fig. 3-12)
3. 2V7_VTCXO (see Fig. 3-13)
4. 13MHz(see Fig. 3-14)
5. CLK, DATA, SEN (see Fig. 3-18)
8. RX IP, IN, QP, QN (see Fig. 3-21)
B. Transmitted RF Level and Checks
This section shows the typical RF levels expected throughout the transmitter path. A block diagram
showing the locations of the RF measurement points and levels is shown in Fig. 3-8.
Transmitter Testing Set-up
To check the transmitter the following conditions have to be set :
1. Set the DC Power supply to 4.0 V.
2. Power up the GSM/DCS test set and then establishing a call with an attached mobile on active
mode.
3. Select Channel, TX Level and Input Level according to which parameter is required.
Note: All RF values shown are only intended as a guide figure and may differ from readings taken
with other test equipment and leads. Lead and connector losses should always be taken into
account when performing such RF measurements.
