3.1 RF Transceiver General Description
The RF parts consist of a transceiver part, a power amplifier part, a front-end module part, a voltage
supply part, and a VC-TCXO part.
The AeroII transceiver is composed of single RF chipset, Si4210-GM[U501] which is a quad-band
GSM/GPRS wireless communications. This device integrated a receiver based on a low IF (200KHz)
architecture and a transmitter based on modulation loop architecture. 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.
3.2 Receiver Part
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 Si4210-GM[U501] integrates four differential input LNAs that are matched to the 200 Ohm
balanced-output SAW filters through external LC matching networks. A quadrature image-rejection
mixer downconverts the RF signal to a 200kHz intermediate frequency (IF) with the RFLO from the
frequency synthesizer.
The mixer output is amplified with an analog programmable gain amplifier (PGA) and quadrature IF
signal is digitized with high resolution A/D converters (ADCs). The Si4210-GM[U501] downconverts
the ADC output to baseband with a digital 200kHz quadrature LO signal. Digital decimation and IIR
filters perform digital filtering , and remove blocking and reference interference signals. After filtering,
the digital output is scaled with digital PGA, which is controlled with the DGAIN[5:0] bits in register 20h.
The amplified digital output signal go through with DACs that drive a differential analog signal onto the
RXIP,RXIN,RXQP and RXQN pins to interface to standard analog ADC input baseband ICs.

3.2.1. RF Front End
RF front end consists of Front End Module(FL500), quad band LNAs integrated in transceiver(U502).
The Received RF signals (GSM-850 869MHz ~ 894MHz, EGSM 880 MHz ~ 960MHz, DCS 1710 MHz
~ 1880 MHz, PCS 1930MHz ~ 1990MHz) are fed into the antenna or mobile switch.
An antenna matching circuit is between the antenna and the mobile switch. The Front End
Module(FL500) is used for control the Rx and TX paths. And the input signals ANT_SW1 and
ANT_SW2 of a FL500 are directly connected to baseband controller to switch either TX or RX path on.
Front End Module(FL500) is an antenna switch module for Quad band phone. The logic and current is
given below Table 3-2.

3.2.2. Synthesizer
The Aero II 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.
Transmit modes should always use f∅ = 200kHz. The IF and RF output frequencies are set by
programmi ng the N-Divider registers and also programmed via 3-wire interface with external system
controler.

3.3 Transmitter Part
The Transmitter part contains the transmitter parts of Si4210-GM[U501], Power Amp Module[U501]
and Front End Module[FL500]. The transmit section of Si4210-GM[U502] consists of an I/Q base band
up_converter, an offset phase-locked loop(OPLL) and two output buffers that can drive external power
amplifiers(PA). The RF GMSK outputs from the transmit VCO are fed directly to the RF power
amplifiers. The peak output power and the profile of the transmitted burst are controlled by means of
incorporated pow er control circuits inside of PA and DAC output from the Base band Controller. The
PA outputs pass to the antenna connector via Front End Module.

3.5.2. Audio Signal Processing & Interface
The voice codec circuitry processes analog audio components in the voice uplink (VUL) path and
applies this signal to the voice signal interface for eventual baseband modulation. In the voice
downlink (VDL) path, the codec circuitry changes voice component data received from the voice serial
interface (VSP) into analog audio.

3.5.3. Audio uplink processing
The VUL path includes two input stages. The first stage is a microphone amplifier, compatible with
electret microphones containing a FET buffer with open drain output. The microphone amplifier has
again of typically 25.6 dB ( 1 dB) and provides an external voltage of 2.0 V or 2.5 V to bias the
microphone (MICBIAS). The auxiliary audio input can be used as an alternative source for higher level
speech signals. This stage performs single-ended-to differential conversion and provides a
programmable gain of 4.6 dB or 28.2 dB. The third stage is a headset microphone amplifier,
compatible with electret microphones. The headset microphone amplifier has a gain of typically 18 dB
and provides an external voltage of 2.0 V or 2.5 V to bias the headset microphone (HSMICBIAS).
When one of the input stages (MICI, AUXI, HSMICP) is in use, the two other input stages are disabled
and powered down. The resulting fully differential signal is fed to the analog-to-digital converter (ADC).
The ADC conversion slope depends on the value of the internal voltage reference. Analog-to-digital
conversion is performed by a third-order !-" modulator with a sampling rate of 1 MHz. Output of the
ADC is fed to a speech digital filter, which performs the decimation down to 8 kHz and band-limits the
signal with both low-pass and high-pass transfer functions. Programmable gain can be set digitally
from -12 dB to +12 dB in 1-dB steps and is programmed with bits 4-0 (VULPG(4:0)) of the voiceband
uplink register. The speech samples are then transmitted to the DSP via the VSP at a rate of 8 kHz.
There are 15 meaningful output bits. Programmable functions of the VUL path, power-up, input
selection, and gain are controlled by the BSP or the USP via the serial interfaces. The VUL path can
be powered down by bit 0 (VULON) of the power down register.

3.5.4. Audio downlink processing
The VDL path receives speech samples at the rate of 8 kHz from the DSP via the VSP and converts
them to analog signals to drive the external speech transducer. The digital speech coming from the
DSP is first fed to a speech digital filter that has two functions. The first function is to interpolate the
input signal and to increase the sampling rate from 8 kHz up to 40 kHz to allow the digital-to-analog
conversion to be performed by an oversampling digital modulator. The second function is to band-limit
the speech signal with both low-pass and high-pass transfer functions. The filter, the PGA gain, and
the volume gain can be bypassed by programming bit 9 (VFBYP) in the voiceband control register 1.
The interpolated and band-limited signal is fed to a second order !-" digital modulator sampled at 1
MHz to generate a 4-bit (9 levels) oversampled signal. This signal is then passed through a dynamic
element matching block and then to a 4-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The volume control and
the programmable gain are performed in the voiceband digital filter. Volume control is performed in
steps of 6 dB from 0 dB to -24 dB. In mute state, attenuation is higher than 40 dB. A fine adjustment of
gain is possible from -6 dB to +6 dB in 1-dB steps to calibrate the system depending on the earphone
characteristics. This configuration is programmed with the voiceband downlink control register.
