1.1. Purpose
This manual provides the information necessary to repair, calibration, description and download the
features of the L1400.
1.2. Regulatory Information
1.2.1. Security
Toll fraud, the unauthorized use of telecommunications system by an unauthorized part (for example,
persons other than your company’s employees, agents, subcontractors, or person working on your
company’s behalf) can result in substantial additional charges you’re your telecommunications
services. System users are responsible for the security of own system. There are may be risks of toll
fraud associated with your telecommunications system. System users are responsible for
programming and configuring the equipment to prevent unauthorized use. LGE does not warrant that
this product is immune from the above case but will prevent unauthorized use of common-carrier
telecommunication service of facilities accessed through or connected to it. LGE will not be
responsible for any charges that result from such unauthorized use.
1.2.2. Incidence of Harm
If a telephone company determines that the equipment provided to customer is faulty and possibly
causing harm or interruption in service to the telephone network, it should disconnect telephone
service until repair can be done. A telephone company may temporarily disconnect service as long as
repair is not done.
1.2.3. Changes in Service
A local telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities or procedure. If these
changes could reasonably be expected to affect the use of the L1400 or compatibility with the network,
the telephone company is required to give advanced written notice to the user, allowing the user to
take appropriate steps to maintain telephone service.
1.2.4. Maintenance Limitations
Maintenance limitations on the L1400 must be performed only by the LGE or its authorized agent.
The user may not make any changes and/or repairs expect as specifically noted in this manual.
Therefore, note that unauthorized alternations or repair may affect the regulatory status of the system
and may void any remaining warranty.

3.1. RF Circuit
The RF parts consist of a transmitter part, a receiver part, a frequency synthesizer part, a voltage
supply part, and a VC-TCXO part.
The AeroI transceiver is composed of one RF chipset, Si4205[U803] which is a triple and quad-band
GSM/GPRS wireless communications.
This device integrated a receiver based on a low IF (100KHz) architecture, a transmitter based on
modulation loop architecture and the synthesizer part with built in VCOs.
The transceiver employed a 3 wire serial interface to allow an external system controller to write the
control registers for dividers, receive path gain, power down setting, and other controls.
3.1.1. Front End Part
RF front end consists of Antenna Switch(FL801), triple-band LNAs integrated in transceiver(U803).
The Received RF signals (GSM850 869 ~ 894MHz, DCS 1805 ~ 1880MHz and PCS 1930 ~
1990MHz) are fed into the antenna or mobile switch. An antenna matching circuit is between the
antenna and the mobile switch.
The Antenna Switch(FL801) is used for control the Rx and TX paths. And, the input signals VC1, VC2
and VC3 of a FL801 are directly connected to baseband controller to switch either TX or RX path on.
Ant S/W module(FL801) is an antenna switch module for triple band phone. The logic and current is
given below Tabl e 1 .
The receiver part uses a low-IF receiver architecture that allows for the on-chip integration of the
channel selection filters, eliminating the external RF image reject filters and the IF SAW filter required
in conventional super-heterodyne architecture. The Si4205[U803] integrates three differential input
LNAs that are matched to the 150 ohm balanced-output SAW filters through external LC matching
networks.

3.1.2. Receiver Part
The Aero I transceiver uses a low-IF receiver architecture which allows for the on-chip integration of
the channel selection filters, eliminating the external RF image reject filters and the IF SAW filter
required in conventional superheterodyne architectures. Compared to a direct-conversion architecture,
the low-IF architecture has a much greater degree of immunity to dc offsets, which can arise from RF
local oscillator (RFLO) self-mixing, 2nd-order distortion of blockers, and device 1/f noise. This relaxes
the common-mode balance requirements on the input SAW filters, and simplifies PC board design and
manufacturing. Three differential-input LNAs are integrated. The GSM input supports the GSM 850
(869–894 MHz). The DCS input supports the DCS 1800 (1805–1880 MHz) band. The PCS input
supports the PCS 1900 (1930–1990 MHz) band. For quad-band designs, SAW filters for the GSM 850
band should be connected to a balanced combiner which drives the GSM input for both bands. For
dual-band designs using the Si4205DB, the DCS input should be used for either DCS 1800 or PCS
1900 bands. The LNA inputs are matched to the 150 ߟ balancedoutput SAW filters through external
LC matching networks. The LNA gain is controlled with the LNAG[1:0] and LNAC[1:0] bits in register
05h. A quadrature image-reject mixer downconverts the RF signal to a 100 kHz intermediate
frequency (IF) with the RFLO from the frequency synthesizer. The RFLO frequency is between 1737.8
to 1989.9 MHz, and is internally divided by 2 for GSM 850 mode. The mixer output is amplified with an
analog programmable gain amplifier (PGA), which is controlled with the AGAIN[2:0] bits in register
05h. The quadrature IF signal is digitized with high resolution A/D converters ADCs). The ADC output
is downconverted to baseband with a digital 100 kHz quadrature LO signal. Digital decimation and IIR
filters perform channel selection to remove blocking and reference interference signals. The response
of the IIR filter is programmable to a high selectivity setting (CSEL = 0) or a low selectivity setting
(CSEL = 1). The low selectivity filter has a flatter group delay response which may be desirable where
the final channelization filter is in the baseband chip. After channel selection, the digital output is
scaled with a digital PGA, which is controlled with the DGAIN[5:0] bits in register 05h. The LNAG[1:0],
LNAC[1:0], AGAIN[2:0] and DGAIN[5:0] bits must be set to provide a constant amplitude signal to the
baseband receive inputs. See “AN51: Aero Transceiver AGC Strategy” for more details.
DACs drive a differential analog signal onto the RXIP, RXIN, RXQP, and RXQN pins to interface to
standard analog-input baseband ICs. No special processing is required in the baseband for offset
compensation or extended dynamic range. The receive and transmit baseband I/Q pins can be
multiplexed together into a 4- wire interface. The common mode level at the receive I and Q outputs is
programmable with the DACCM[1:0] bits, and the full scale level is programmable with the DACFS[1:0]
bits in register 12h.

3.1.3. Synthesizer Part
The Aero I transceiver integrates two complete PLLs including VCOs, varactors, resonators, loop
filters, reference and VCO dividers, and phase detectors. The RF PLL uses two multiplexed VCOs.
The RF1 VCO is used for receive mode, and the RF2 VCO is used for transmit mode. The IF PLL is
used only during transmit mode. All VCO tuning inductors are also integrated. The IF and RF output
frequencies are set by programming the N-Divider registers, NRF1, NRF2 and NIF. Programming the
N-Divider register for either RF1 or RF2 automatically selects the proper VCO. The output frequency of
each PLL is as follows:
fOUT = N x fø
The DIV2 bit in register 31h controls a programmable divider at the XIN pin to allow a 26 MHz
reference frequency. For receive mode, the RF1 PLL phase detector update rate (fø) should be
programmed fø = 100 kHz for DCS 1800 or PCS 1900 bands, and fø = 200 kHz for GSM 850. For
transmit mode, the RF2 and IF PLL phase detector update rates are always fø =200 kHz.

3.1.4. Transmitter Part
The transmit (TX) section consists of an I/Q baseband upconverter, an offset phase-locked loop
(OPLL) and two output buffers that can drive external power amplifiers (PA), one for the GSM 850
(824 to 849 MHz) band and one for the DCS 1800 (1710 to 1785 MHz) and PCS 1900 (1850 to 1910
MHz) bands. The OPLL requires no external duplexer to attenuate transmitter noise or spurious
signals in the receive band, saving both cost and power. Additionally, the output of the transmit VCO
(TXVCO) is a constant-envelope signal that reduces the problem of spectral spreading caused by nonlinearity in the PA
A quadrature mixer upconverts the differential in-phase (TXIP, TXIN) and quadrature (TXQP, TXQN)
signals with the IFLO to generate a SSB IF signal that is filtered and used as the reference input to the
OPLL. The IFLO frequency is generated between 766 and 896 MHz and internally divided by 2 to
generate the quadrature LO signals for the quadrature modulator, resulting in an IF between 383 and
448 MHz.
The OPLL consists of a feedback mixer, a phase detector, a loop filter, and a fully integrated TXVCO.
The TXVCO is centered between the DCS 1800 and PCS 1900 bands, and its output is divided by 2
for the GSM band. The RFLO frequency is generated between 1272 and 1483 MHz. To allow a single
VCO to be used for the RFLO, high-side injection is used for the GSM band, and low-side injection is
used for the DCS 1800 and PCS 1900 bands. The I and Q signals are automatically swapped when
switching bands. Additionally, the SWAP bit in register 03h can be used to manually exchange the I
and Q signals. Low-pass filters before the OPLL phase detector reduce the harmonic content of the
quadrature modulator and feedback mixer outputs. The cutoff frequency of the filters is programmable
with the FIF[3:0] bits in register 04h, and should be set to the recommended settings detailed in the
register description.

The Sky77325 [U804] is a quad-band GSM850/GSM900/DCS/PCS power amplifier module that
incorporates an indirect closed loop method of power control. The indirect closed loop is fully selfcontained and it does not require loop optimization. It can be driven directly from the DAC output in the
baseband circuit. On-board power control provides over 50 dB of control range with an analog voltage
input (Vramp).
Efficiency is 49% at GSM850 and 53% at GSM900, DCS, PCS1900.

3.3.2. Audio Signal Processing & Interface
Audio signal processing is divided Uplink path and downlink path.
The uplink path amplifies the audio signal from MIC and converts this analog signal to digital signal
and then transmit it to DBB Chip. This transmitted signal is reformed to fit in GSM Frame format and
delivered to RF Chip. MICBIAS is 2.0Vlevel.
The downlink path amplifies the signal from DBB chip and outputs it to Receiver (or Speaker).
3.3.3. Audio uplink processing
The microphone is soldered to the main PCB. The uplink signal is passed to MICIP and MICIN pins of
IOTA. The MICBIAS voltage is supplied from IOTA(dedicated mode only). When the headset is
inserted, ADC value of HOOK_DETECT(IO6) terminal is between 20 to 150 (decimal value). On
detecting this, Calypso makes IOTA switches the MIC amplifier path from main to auxiliary.

3.3.4. Audio downlink processing
The downlink signal is passed from EARP and EARN pins of IOTA. When the headset is inserted and
Calypso detects ‘Jack pluged state’ from HOOK_DETECT terminal, Calypso makes IOTA switches the
downlink path from ‘EARP’ and ‘EARN’ to auxiliary outputs(‘AUXOP’ and ‘AUXON’ or ‘HSO’).
