Keypad
See Figure 3-3. The ke ypad is controlled by JOSEFIN and consists of a key switch matrix with four output columns and five return input rows. Pressing a key generates an interrupt and allows JOSEFIN to detect that key.
The key switch matrix will cover a maximum of 20 keys, but 5 additional keys can be added to the input rows to become detected when connected to ground. This method enables use of the On/Off and Volume Up/Down switches.

LCD
See Figure 3-4 and Table 3-4. The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is a 3 by 12 character display where each character is created by a 5 by 7 d ot matrix. Information to and from the LCD is transferred on a single data line together with a clock signal. Both are provided by JOSEFIN, who also controls the voltage supply to the LCD by a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal. The voltage supply to the LCD has to be regulated quite accurately by the logics to obtain optimum performance in the LCD viewing angle and contrast ratio.
JOSEFIN’s software controls the duty cycle (mark/space ratio) of the PWM output.
These digital pulses generate the negative voltage required by the LCD. Because the voltage supplied to the LCD is most dependent on the load, voltage variations caused by load fluctuations are reduced by feeding the voltage to an A/D-input of PATTI, where the voltage is checked by software and regulated to match pre-defined values.
The A/D input of PATTI also provides temperature compensation of the LCD.

LZB 115 2508 R1A Technical Descrip ti on

General

All electronic components are integrated into a single board, the Transceiver Board, which is a four-layer board where the layer assignments are:
Layer 1: Primary side components and signal paths
Layer 2: Signal paths
Layer 3: Ground plane for Digital GND and Analog GND
Layer 4: Secondary side components and signal paths
The Transceiv er Board is phy s ically and functionally divided i nto two separate electronic bloc ks.
the Logic block, fr om here on referred t o as the Logics
the Radio block, from here on referred to as the Radio
The two blocks are mounted in separately shielded cavities and all signals to and from the two blocks are EMI decoupled to prevent spurious radiation, which makes the phone conform to the current requirements for radiated spurious transmission.
Most of the signal processing takes place in chips designed by Ericsson. Due to their complexity, these chips can not be assigned a descriptive name, but are instead given a name. See Figure 3-7
.

Transmission

The Logics block and the Radio block handle the transmission path from microphone to antenna. See Fig-
ure 3-9.

Logic Block

The signal to be transmitted is processed by the following logic blocks:
PCM Encoder
Speech Encoder
Channel Encoder
Interleaving
Ciphering
Burst Formatting
Waveform Generator
3-15
Technical Description LZB 115 2508 R1A

Figure 3-9. Logic Transmission Path

PCM Encoder (P ATTI)

The analog speech signals from the microphone are amplified, then converted to digital shape by an A/D­converter located in PATTI. The conversion, known as Pulse Coded Modulation (PCM), includes three dif­ferent steps:
Sampling (8kHz)
Quantizing (8192 levels)
Coding (1 3 bit binary code)
The bit rate delivered by PATTI is 13 bits x 8kHz = 104 kbit/s.

Speech Encoder (ESAIAH)

As the rate of the bit stream from PATTI is too high to handle, the bit rate has to be reduced, which is made possible as the speech contains portions of redundant information. By slicing the digital speech into seg­ments of 20 ms, the hybrid Speech Encoder of the Digital Signal Processor (DSP) named ESAIAH removes these redundant portions, as “white noise” is filtered out from the speech. The remaining part, the filter parameters, will be transmitted and the bit rate is in this way reduced from 104 kbit/s to 13 kbit/s (8:1 compression), i.e. 260 bits for each 20 ms speech segment.
3-16
LZB 115 2508 R1A Technical Descrip ti on

Channel Encoder (JOSEFIN)

The BER (Bit Error Rate) should be kept as low as possible. Due to the mobility of a GSM phone, errors will occur but a certain amount of errors can be allowed if the original information can be restored or in worst case detected and rejected. By spreading out the information to an increased number of bits, the Channel Encoder will improve the security against errors. The 260 bits per segment supplied by ESAIAH are divided by JOSEFIN’s Channel Encoder into three separate groups:
Group 1: 50 most important bits
Group 2: 132 important bits
Group 3: 78 least important bits
Total: 260 bits
A block coder enlarges the first group with three parity bits. These bits, along with the bits of the second group plus four tail bits encoded by a convolutional coder at a ratio of 1:2. These bits are added to the uncoded third group, resulting in a total of (50+3 + 132 + 4) x 2 + 78 = 456 bits per segment or 22.8 kbit/s. Channel Coding is primarily utilized for detection and correction of single errors and short error bursts.

Interleaving (JOSEFIN)

When it comes to correction of error b ursts with longer duration, the Interleaving section of JOSEFIN will reduce the risk of continuous error intervals, as consecutive bits in a burst are spread out over several bursts. Possible error bursts will also be spread out on the reception side.

Ciphering (JOSEFIN)

Speech and data have to become ciphered by JOSEFIN in order to prevent unauthorized parties from get­ting access to the communication. A message, a ciphering key, and the selected TDMA frame number are fed through an encryption algorithm and sent to the base station. If successfully decrypted by the base sta­tion, all traffic will from here on be ciphered at a 1:1 input/output ratio.

Burst Formatting (JOSEFIN)

There are two kinds of logical channels, control- and traffic- channels, which JOSEFIN maps onto the physical channels. A physical channel is represented by one of the eight time slots in the TDMA frame, where a single time slot contains the information of one burst. A normal burst starts and ends with three tail bits and consists of two blocks with 57 encrypted bits plus one flag bit each with a Training Sequence (a bit pattern known by the receiving station) of 26 bits between, for a total of 148 bits. The duration of a time slot is 0.577 ms corresponding to 156 bits. The eight redundant bits will become a “safety zone” against time slot overlapping. Burst Formatting will increase the bit rate from 22.8 to 33.8 kbit/s.

Waveform Generator (JOSEFIN)

The digital information of the time slot bursts has to become converted to baseband signals by the Wave­form Generator, which is the final stage of JOSEFIN. The digital outputs of the Waveform Generator are derived from lookup tables to generate a bit stream output from one-bit D/A-converters, which supplies the Radio Transmitter with the two vector information signals I and Q (In-phase and Quadrature-phase, respectively).

Radio Block

The transmit and receive paths are always kept apart. The Radio includes however three oscillating devices utilized for transmission as well as reception:
VCXO (Voltage Controlled Crystal Oscillator) includes a 13MHz crystal and this frequency is dis­tributed to:
-the Logics as main clock
-the QVCO as reference frequency
-the Frequency Generator of the Synthesizer as reference frequency
QVCO (Quadrature Voltage Controlled Oscillator) is able to provide multiples of the 13MHz fre­quency for:
-the TX IF (Intermediate Frequency)
-the RX IF (Intermediate Frequency)
Synthesizer, consisting of a phase-locked Frequency Generator and LVCO (Local Voltage Con­trolled Oscillator), operating at 200kHz carrier separation intervals for generation of frequencies required by:
-the TX up-convert er
-the RX down-converter

Figure 3-11. Radio Transmission Path

I/Q-Filters (EDITH)

The base-band signals I and Q generated by the waveform generator of JOSEFIN have to become filtered by low-pass filters in order to remove the quantization noise without affecting the actual information.

Quadrature Modulator (EDITH)

The Quadrature Modulator of EDITH modulates the I/Q-signals by an Intermediate Frequency (IF) from the QVCO, resulting in a phase modulated signal with a frequency identical to the IF.

Up-Converter

The Quadrature Modulator output is connected to the reference input of a Phase Detector where the output is fed to a voltage-controlled oscillator (TXVCO). The output frequency of this oscillator is subtracted from the frequency of the Synthesizer (LVCO) in a mixer and fed back to the second input of the Phase Detector. This phase-locked loop forces the oscillator to follow the phase of the modulated signal at the requested frequen cy determined by the Synthesizer. The Synthesize r output pro vides freq uencies (LVCO) in intervals identical to the carrier separation 200kHz, depending on the frequency to be transmitted. The Transmit Frequency (TX) is obtained by subtracting the TX Intermediate frequency (TXIF) supplied by the QVCO from the Synthesizer frequency (LVCO).
3-19
Technical Description LZB 115 2508 R1A

Power Control (PIA-MIA) & Amplifier

The output signal from the up-converter has to be amplified to a maximum power level prior to being trans­mitted from the antenna. As the power level has to be adjusted to the momentary transmission conditions, the phone must be able to transmit at 16 different power levels, which requires the output power to be con­trolled in a rather strict way by the power control circuitry of PIA-MIA. The output power from the ampli­fier is controlled by a feed back loop. A voltage proportional to the battery current supplied to the amplifier is fed back to a voltage regulator, which makes it possible for the power detector of PIA-MIA to detect an extremely wide ra nge of outp ut power leve ls.

Harmonic Filter

The harmonics created by the non-linear behavior of the Power Amplifier are removed from the carrier fre­quency with the help of a low-pass harmonic filter.

Antenna Switch

A PIN diode switch keeps the Transmitter separated from the Receiver. The bit rate when transmitted “on the air” is approximately 270 kbit/s.

Reception

See Figure 3-12. Received information is picked up by the antenna and directed with the help of the antenna switch to the Receiver, consisting of the Radio, followed by the Logics, and ended with the ear­piece.

Figure 3-12. Radio Reception Path

Antenna Switch

The PIN diode switch disables the Transmitter output and enables the Receiver input.

Band Filter

The signal received by the antenna is filtered by a band filter to cut off unwanted frequencies outside the expected RX frequency range.

Low Noise Amplifier (ANETTE)

The received signal is amplified by a Low Noise Amplifier prior to frequency down-conversion the.

Down-Converter (ANETTE)

The RX frequency has to be amplified and down-converted to a fixed frequency. The Synthesizer output provides frequencies (LVCO) in 200 kHz intervals. The RX frequency, which is somewhat higher than the corresponding TX frequency due to duplex separation, is fed together with the Synthesizer frequency
LVCO to a mixer where the output, the 1 LVCO fro m RX.
st
Intermediate Frequency (1st IF), is obtained by subtracting
3-21
Technical Description LZB 115 2508 R1A

First Channel Filter

As the signal delivered by the down-converter is a differential IF output signal, the First Channel Filter is differential as well with a frequency identical to the 1
st
IF.

RX-IF (EDITH)

The filtered 1st IF receive signal is fed to EDITH, where it is preamplified, limited by a limiting amplifier and fed to the input of a mixer. The second mixer input is a fixed frequency provided by the QVCO. A sec-
ond intermediate frequency (2
nd
IF) of 6 MHz is generated by subtracting the QVCO from the 1st IF. The 6MHz 2nd IF signal inside EDITH passes through two additional limiting amplifiers being preceded by one dual and one single external 6 MHz channel filter responsible. The three limiting amplifiers are equipped with amplitude detectors, utilized by the Logics for Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI)
calculations. The three amplitude signals are, together with the differential 2
nd
IF signal containing the RX
phase information, fed to the Logics for A/D-conversion and digital processing.

Logics

See Figure 3-13. The following logic blocks process the received signal:
Phase Digitizer (PATTI)
Equalizer (JOSEFIN)
Deciphering (JOSEFIN)
Deinterleaving (JOSEFIN)
Channel Decoder (JOSEFIN)
Speech Decoder (ESAIAH)
PCM Decoder (PATTI)
3-22

Figure 3-13. Logic Reception Path

LZB 115 2508 R1A Technical Descrip ti on

Phase Digitizer (PATTI)

The differential RX-IF signal from the Radio is a hard limited phase modulated signal, which has to be converted from analog to digital shape. The 6 MHz input signal is sampled at 13 MHz and transformed to digital data by the Phase Digitizer of PATTI.

Equalizer (JOSEFIN)

Reflections from distant object, so-called time dispersion, will cause interference problems for the receiver which are difficult to correct, unless the receiver is adapted to a channel model. The receiver is adjusted to a particular mathematical channel model as the Equalizer creates a model of the air interface and also cal­culates the most probable transmission sequence. The Equalizer uses the known Training Sequence inserted into the middle of the bursted data to create the channel model. The model fluctuates continuously but is regarded to be stable during one burst.

Deciphering (JOSEFIN)

The speech and data ciphered by the transmitting station must become deciphered by JOSEFIN prior to further reception processing. All bits are at this point reassembled into the original 456-bit messages.

Deinterleaving (JOSEFIN)

The consecutive bits spread out over several bursts by interleaving of the transmitting station have to be
reinstalled into their proper positions, i.e. deinterleaved by JOSEFIN. Deinterleaving spreads the “dam­aged” bits of an error burst become spread out during a longer period, which improves the possibility of a correction recovery.

Channel Decoder (JOSEFIN)

The Channel Decoder of JOSEFIN decodes each 456-bit message for error detection and correction. The first decoding is performed by a Convolutional Decoder, where 378 bits are decoded and reduced to 187 bits, fed to the Block Decoder which looks for error frames being indicated at the output as Bad Frame Indications (BFIs). These 187 bits (53 Most Important Bits + 132 Important Bits) are added to the remain­ing Least Important 78 bits, resulting in a total of 260 bits per 20ms segment (13kbit/s), which are fed from JOSEFIN to the Digital Signal Processor (DSP) called ESAIAH.

Speech Decoder (ESAIAH)

The hybrid Speech Decoder of ESAIAH processes the incoming filter parameters of the speech informa­tion, resulting in a 1:8 decompression, i.e. a bit rate increase from 13kbit/s to 104kbit/s.

PCM Decoder (P ATTI)

The Pulse Coded Modulation (PCM) decoder of PATTI consists primarily of a D/A-converter, where the digital 104 kbit/s “speech” is transformed into an analog AC-voltage, which after being amplified and sup­plied to the earpiece, will be able to reproduce the voice of the transmitting party.

Central Processing Unit JOS EFIN

See Figure 3-14. JOSEFIN is the central processing unit of the transceiver and contains among other things a CPU with Subsystem, internal RAM, Timing Generator for the TDMA structure, and a Real Time Clock (RTC). The RTC, which also handles the alarm function, is active as long as the battery is connected. After disconnecting the battery the RTC is still active for more than 72 hours due to a backup capacitor.
Apart from taking significant part in the transmit/receive signal process ing, JOSEFIN also controls the fol­lowing peripheral functions and devices:
Battery Charging
Power Distribution
System Connector
Key Switches
Memories (RAM, FLASH, EEPROM)
SIM-card
Indicators (LCD, LEDs, Buzzer)
Radio Interface

LZB 115 2508 R1A Technical Descrip ti on

Battery Charging

See Figure 3-15. The battery charging is a rather complex algorithm where several of the numerous param­eters are stored in an EEPROM in case of future adjustments. JOSEFIN controls the charging current to the attached battery by altering the duty-cycle of a control signal which, via PIA-MIA, affects a transistor switch that supplies current to the battery from an external charger. For proper duty-cycle regulation, JOSEFIN requires a feedback value of the actual current. This value is provided as a voltage by PIA-MIA and delivered to JOSEFIN after being A/D-converted by PATTI. This signal also detects when a charger is connected, as this will generate an offset voltage at the PIA-MIA output.

Figure 3-15. Battery Charging Block Diagram

Chargers

The external charger can be a DC/DC-converter or a full-wave rectified AC/DC-converter, regulated or non-regulated. Whenever a charger is connected to the phone a charging cycle is initiated, even if the phone is off, due to the auto turn on feature. The charging is temporarily halted when a call is in progress, except when the battery voltage is low.

Batteries

The batteries being used are four 1.2V cell Nickel-Metal-Hydride (NiMH) or Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd) chargeable batteries without internal thermistor. Refer to Chapter 6
for more information.
3-25
Technical Description LZB 115 2508 R1A

Temperature Guard

An on-board thermistor generates a temperature-related voltage, which after being A/D-converted by PATTI, is registered by JOSEFIN. If the temperature during charging exceeds a certain level, charging is halted until the temperature has dropped to a specific level, and charging is resumed. If the temperature rises a second time, charging is terminated. After attaching a battery to the phone, the thermistor has to be able to detect an abnormal battery temperature in order to protect the battery from being charged at out-of­range temperatures. Charging is commenced after a few minutes delay, if the temperature is found to be stable. If not, a longer delay will be introduced.

Charging Complete

The charging cycle can be terminated in four different ways:
Minus delta v (normal): The battery voltage is sampled once a second for approximately one minute and the mean value is calculated. The maximum mean value is stored and compared with consecutive mean values. When a specific divergence is obtained, charging is terminated.
Peak detect: The charging is terminated when the above mentioned mean values are less or identi­cal to the maximum mean value for a specific time.
Overvoltage detection: If PIA-MIA detects battery overvoltage a specific number of times during a charging cycle, charging is terminated.
Safety timer: The safety timer function is used as a last resort when the other methods do not work.
The phone trickle charges the battery after th e main charge is completed, until the charger is disconnected. The phone also protects the battery from becoming overcharged by checking charge status at the start of charging. If the battery has a full charge, the phone terminates charging, and maintains trickle charge. The phone also has a timer which regulates charging.
The timer is started when the charger is disconnected. The time setting varies depending on whether the phone is in standby or serving a call.

Power Distribution

See Figure 3-16. Power to the phone can be supplied in two ways:
From a 4.8V, 4-cell NiMH or NiCd main battery
From an external power source attached to the system connector (battery has to be attached)

Power On/Off

The power on/off function is initiated by pressing the On/Off (NO) key.

Power On

The battery voltage is connected to the On/Off switch, which after being pressed, enables and activates a number of voltage regulators. The voltage from the On/Off-switch is detected by JOSEFIN, which acti­vates an output connected to the enable inputs of the regulators, to keep the regulators active after the On/ Off switch has been released.

Figure 3-16. Power On and Off

Power Off

Pressing the On/Off-switch again will not affect the enable inputs of the voltage regulators, but will be detected by the voltage from the On/Off-switch to the input of JOSEFIN, which first terminates the pro­gram in a co ntrolled w ay and then disables the r egulators, using the same output as for power on.

Auto Turn On

If the phone is off when a charger is connected, the Auto Turn On feature will automatically initiate charg­ing.

Technical Description LZB 115 2508 R1A

Voltage Regulators

The Transceiver Board includes a number of linear voltage regulators for the Logics as well as for the Radio.

Logic Voltages

The voltages to the Logics are supplied by three 3.2 V linear regulators plus one 3.5 V regulator to the fol­lowing four groups of circuits:
JOSEFIN, Memories, LCD
•ESAIAH
•PATTI
Real Time Clock in JOSEFIN (supplied with 3.5 V whenever a battery is attached to the phone)
A DC/DC converter is also utilized in order to generate the 5 V required by the SIM-card. This voltage is also supplied to the system connector interface.

Radio Voltages

The Radio includes three 3.8 V linear voltage regulators and one reset and error flag generator, all inte­grated into one chip. The three voltages are enabled/disabled by JOSEFIN in the same way as the th ree reg­ulators on the Logic side. Two of the three regulators provide supply voltages for the Radio circuits, while the third one is utilized by the Logics:
ANETTE, PIA-MIA, EDITH
Synthesizer, EDITH
Radio Interface of JOSEFIN, Buzzer, Top LEDs
The combined power reset and error flag output is also connected to JOSEFIN for two purposes:
The power reset generates the required H/W-reset during the start-up procedure
The error flag will switch off the phone if the voltage drops below 3.55 V

Three different kinds of external memories are connected to and controlled by JOSEFIN:
RAM
FLASH
FLASH
RAM
The RAM is a Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) with a memory size of 2 k (8 bits). Its address and data bus plus Write Enable control bit are shared with the Flash memory.

FLASH

The FLASH memory is a 1024 k (8-bit) which stores the program code. This code can be and re-pro­grammed at production and service via the system connector. Data to the FLASH memory is transferred on the serial link TTMS. Programming voltage is connected to VPPFLASH. Programming is controlled by the RAM.

EEPROM

The memory size of the Electrically Erasable PROM (EEPROM) is 8 k (8 bits). Bi-directional data is not transferred on a parallel data bus but on a two wire serial bus, clock and data, which are shared with the LCD.

SIM-Card

JOSEFIN communicates with he SIM card on a serial bi-directional data wire with the help of a synchro­nizing clock signal. JOSEFIN also provides a reset output and power enable output for the SIM-card.

Indicators

JOSEFIN controls three different kinds of indicators:
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)
LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes)
Buzzer

Buzzer

The buzzer is supplied with the same non-fluctuating voltage as the top LEDs and is controlled by a tone generator output of JOSEFIN.

Radio Interface

The communication between JOSEFIN and the Radio includes not only TX and RX signals but also a vast number of control signals, all together 33 signal lines. Some signals have to become A/D- or D/A-con­verted, which is effected by PATTI.
System Connector
The System Connector interfaces the phone with external peripherals and controls battery charging. See
Figure 3-17
and Table 3-9 for more inform ati on .
