3.1 General Description

The KE990/KE990c supports EGSM-900, DCS-1800, and PCS-1900 based GSM/GPRS/EDGE. All receivers and transmitter use the radioOne 1Zero-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 GMSKmodulated or 8-PSK-modulated signal to RF.

A generic, high-level functional block diagram of KE990/KE990c is shown in Figure 3-1. 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).

In the GSM receive path, the received RF signals are applied through their bandpass filters and downconverted directly to baseband in the RTR6235 transceiver IC.

These baseband outputs are routed to the ESM 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 up-converter 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 ESM

KE990/KE990c power supply voltages are managed and regulated by the PM6635 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 KE990/KE990c’s receiver functions are split between the three RFICs as follows:

■ EGSM-900, DCS-1800 and PCS-1900 modes both use the RTR6235 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 (LMSP43QA-538) which includes four 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 KE990/KE990c, a common antenna connects to one of six paths: 1) GSM 900 Tx (Low Band Tx’s share the same path), 2) GSM1800/1900 Tx (High Band Tx’s share the same path), 3) EGSM900 Rx, 4) GSM1800 Rx, 5) GSM1900 Rx. EGSM900, 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.

The EGSM900, DCS1800, and PCS1900 receiver inputs of RTR6235 are connected directly to the transceiver front-end circuits(filters and antenna switch module).

EGSM900, 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 EGSM900, 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.

2

The RFIC operating modes and circuit parameters are ESM-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.

LGE Internal Use Only

Only for training and service purposes

The EGSM900, DCS1800, and PCS1900 receive signals are routed to the RTR6235 through band selection filters and matching networks that transform single-ended 50-Ω•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 RTR6235 input stages include ESMcontrolled 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 ESM6270 IC for further processing

3.2.2 GSM Transmitter

The RTR6235 transmitter outputs(DA_HB2_OUT and DA_LB1_OUT) include on-chip output matching inductors. 50ohm output impedance is achieved by adding a series capacitor at the output pins. The capacitor value may be optimized for specific applications and PCB characteristics based on pass-band symmetry about the band center frequency, the suggested starting value is shown in Figure3.2.3.

The RTR6235 IC is able to support GSM 850/900 and GSM 1800/1900 mode transmitting. This design guideline shows a Quad-band GSM application.

Both high-band and low band outputs are followed by resistive pads to ensure that the load Presented to the outputs remains close to 50ohm. The low-band GSM. Tx path also includes a Tx-band SAW filter to remove noise-spurious components and noise that would be amplified by the PA and appear in the GSM Rx band

3.3 LO generation and distribution circuits

The integrated LO generation and distribution circuits are driven by internal VCOs to support various modes to yield highly flexible quadrature LO outputs that drive all GSM/EDGE band upconverters and downconverters; with the help of these LO generation and distribution circuits, true zero-IF architecture is employed in all GSM band receivers and transmitters to translate the signal directly from RF to baseband and from baseband to RF.

Two fully functional fractional-N synthesizers, including VCOs and loop filters, are integrated within the RTR6235 IC. The synthesizer (PLL1) creates the transceiver LOs that support four GSM band receivers and transmitters including: GSM850, EGSM900, DCS1800, and PCS1900. An external TCXO input signal is required to provide the synthesizer frequency reference to which the PLL is phase and frequency locked. The RTR6235 IC integrates most of PLL loop filter components on-chip except two off-chip loop filter series capacitors, and significantly reduces off-chip component requirement. With the integrated fractional-N PLL synthesizers, the RTR6235 has the advantages of more flexible loop bandwidth control, fast lock time, and low-integrated phase error

3.4 Off-chip RF Components

3.4.1 VCTCXO (X100 : TG-5010LH(19.2M))

The Voltage Controlled Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (VCTCXO) provides the reference frequency for all RFIC synthesizers as well as clock generation functions within the ESM6270 IC. The oscillator frequency is controlled by the ESM6270 IC.s TRK_LO_ADJ pulse density modulated signal in the same manner as the transmit gain control TX_AGC_ADJ. A two-pole RC lowpass filter is recommended on this control line.

The PM6635 IC controls the handset power-up sequence, including a special VCTCXO warm-up interval before other circuits are turned on. This warm-up interval (as well as other TCXO controller functions) is enabled by the ESM TCXO_EN line . The PM6635 IC VREG_TCXO regulated output voltage is used to power the VCTCXO and is enabled before most other regulated outputs.

Any GSM mode power control circuits within the ESM6270 IC require a reference voltage for proper operation and sufficient accuracy. Connecting the PM6635 IC REF_OUT directly to the ESM6270 IC GSM_PA_PWR_CTL_REF provides this reference. This sensitive analog signal needs a 0.1 •ÏF low frequency filter near to ESM side, and isolate from digital logic and clock traces with ground on both sides, plus ground above and below if routed on internal layers.

3.4.2 Front-End Module (FL100 : LMSP43QA-538)

This equipment uses a single antenna to support all handset operating modes, with an antenna switch module select the operating frequency and band. The active connection is ESM-selected by three control lines (GPIO[9] and GPIO[10]). These GPIOs are programmed to be ANT_SEL0 and ANT_SEL1 respectively.

3.4.4 GSM PAM (U101:TQM7M5003)

The TQM7M5003 is an extremely small (7 x 7 mm), GSM/EDGE PAM for handset applications. This module has been optimized for excellent EDGE efficiency and Pout in a Polar Loop environment at EDGE class E2+ operation while maintaining high GSM/GPRS efficiency.

The small size and high performance is achieved with high-reliability 3 rdgeneration InGaP HBT technology. With 50Ω and output, no external matching or bias components are required. The module incorporates two highly-integrated InGaP power amplifier die with a CMOS controller. Each amplifier has three gain stages with on-die inter-stage matching implemented with a high Q passives technology for optimal performance. The CMOS controller implements a fully integrated power control within the module for GSM operations, and serves as the AM/AM path in EDGE operations. This eliminates the need for any external couplers, power detectors, current sensing etc., to assure the output power level. The module has Tx enable and band select inputs. Module construction is a low-profile overmolded landgrid array on laminate.
