The UX210 phone has been designed to operate on the latest digital mobile communication technology, Code
Division Multiple Access (CDMA). This CDMA digital technology has greatly enhanced voice clarity and can
provide a variety of advanced features. Currently, CDMA mobile communication technology has been
commercially used in Cellular and Personal Communication Service (PCS). The difference between them is the
operating frequency spectrum. Cellular uses 800MHz and PCS uses 1.9GHz. The UX210 support GPS Mode,
we usually call it tri-band phone. Also, UX210 works on Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS). We call it
quad-mode phone. If one of the Cellular, PCS and AMPS base stations is located nearby, Call fail rate of
triple-mode phone is less than dual-mode phone or single-mode phone.
The CDMA technology adopts DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum). This feature of DSSS enables the
phone to keep communication from being crossed and to use one frequency channel by multiple users in the
same specific area, resulting that it increases the capacity 10 times more compared with that in the analog mode
currently used. Soft/Softer Handoff, Hard Handoff, and Dynamic RF power Control technologies are combined
into this phone to reduce the call being interrupted in a middle of talking over the phone.
Cellular and PCS CDMA network consists of MSO (Mobile Switching Office), BSC (Base Station Controller),
BTS (Base station Transmission System), and MS (Mobile Station). The following table lists some major

Chapter1. System Introduction
1.1 CDMA Abstract
The CDMA mobile communication system has a channel hand-off function that is used for collecting the
information on the locations and movements of mobile telephones from the cell site by automatically controlling
several cell site through the setup of data transmission routes, and then enabling one switching system to carry
out the automatic remote adjustment. This is to maintain continuously the call state through the automatic
location confirmation and automatic radio channel conversion when the busy subscriber moves from the service
area of one cell site to that of another by using automatic location confirmation and automatic radio channel
conversion functions. The call state can be maintained continuously by the information exchange between
switching systems when the busy subscriber moves from one cellular system area to the other cellular system
area.
In the cellular system, the cell site is a small-sized low output type and utilizes a frequency allocation system
that considers mutual interference, in an effort to enable the re-use of corresponding frequency from a cell site
separated more than a certain distance. The analog cellular systems are classified further into an AMPS system,
E-AMPS System, NMT system, ETACS system, and JTACS system depending on technologies used.
Unlike the time division multiple access (TDMA) or frequency division multiple access (FDMA) used in the
band limited environment, the Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) system which is one of digital cellular
systems is a multi-access technology under the interference limited environment. It can process more number of
subscribers compared to other systems (TDMA system has the processing capacity three times greater than the
existing FDMA system whereas CDMA system, about 12~15 times of that of the existing system).
CDMA system can be explained as follows; TDMA or CDMA can be used to enable each person to talk
alternately or provide a separate room for each person when two persons desire to talk with each other at the
same time, whereas FDMA can be used to enable one person to talk in soprano, whereas the other in bass (one
of the two talkers can carry out synchronization for hearing in case there is a bandpass filter function in the area
of the hearer). Another available method is to make two persons to sing in different languages at the same time,
space, and frequency when wishing to let the audience hear the singing without being confused. This is the
characteristic of CDMA.
On the other hand, when employing the CDMA technology, each signal has a different pseudo-random binary
sequence used to spread the spectrum of carrier. A great number of CDMA signals share the same frequency
spectrum. In the perspective of frequency area or time area, several CDMA signals are overlapped. Among these
types of signals, only desired signal energy is selected and received through the use of pre-determined binary
sequence; desired signals can be separated, and then received with the correlator used for recovering the
spectrum into its original state. At this time, the spectrums of other signals that have different codes are not
recovered into its original state, and appears as the self-interference of the system.

2. Features and Advantages of CDMA Mobile Phone (For AMPS as well)
2.1 Various Types of Diversities
When employing the narrow band modulation (30kHz band) that is the same as the analog FM modulation
system used in the existing cellular system, the multi-paths of radio waves create a serious fad ing. However, in
the CDMA broadband modulation (1.25MHz band), three types of diversities (time, frequency, and space) are
used to reduce serious fading problems generated from radio channels in order to obtain high-quality calls.
Time diversity can be obtained through the use of code interleaving and error correction code whereas frequency
diversity can be obtained by spreading signal energy to wider frequency band. The fading related to normal
frequency can affect the normal 200~300KHz among signal bands and accordingly, serious effect can be
avoided. Moreover, space diversity (also called path diversity) can be realized with the following three types of
methods.
First, it can be obtained by the duplication of cell site receive antenna. Second, it can be obtained through the
use of multi-signal processing device that receives a transmit signal having each different transmission delay
time and then, combines them. Third, it can be obtained through the multiple cell site connection (Soft Handoff)
that connects the mobile station with more than two cell sites at the same time.
2.2 Power Control
The CDMA system utilizes the forward (from a base station to mobile stations) and backward (from the mobile
station to the base station) power control in or der to in crease the call p ro cessing capacity an d ob tain h igh -q uality
calls. In case the originating signals of mobile stations are received by the cell site in the minimum call quality
level (signal to interference) through the use of transmit power control on all the mobile stations, the system
capacity can be maximized.If the signal power of mobile station is received too strong, the performance of that
mobile station is improved. However, because of this, the interference on other mobile stations using the same
channel is increased and accordingly, the call quality of other subscribers is reduced unless the maximum
accommodation capacity is reduced.
In the CDMA system, forward power control, backward open loop power control, and closed loop power control
methods are used. The forward power control is carried out in the cell site to reduce the transmit power on
mobile stations less affected by the multi-path fading and shadow phenomenon and the interference of other cell
sites when the mobile station is not engaged in the call or is relatively nearer to the corresponding cell site. This
is also used to provide additional power to mobile stations having high call error rates, located in bad reception
areas or far away from the cell site.
The backward open loop power control is carried out in a corresponding mobile station; the mobile station
measures power received from the cell site and then, reversely increases/decreases transmit power in order to
compensate channel changes caused by the forward link path loss and terrain characteristics in relatio n to the
mobile station in the cell site. By doing so, all the mobile transmit signals received by the base station have same
strength.
Moreover, the backward closed loop power control used by the mobile station is performed to control power
using the commands issued out by the cell site. The cell site receives the signal of each corresponding mobile
station and compares this with the pre-set threshold value and then, issues out power increase/decrease
commands to the corresponding mobile station every 1.25msec (800 times per second). By doing so, the gain
tolerance and the different radio propagation loss on the forward/backward link are complemented.

2.3 Voice Encoder and Variable Data Speed
The bi-directional voice service having variable data speed provides voice communication which employs
voice encoder algorithm having power variable data rate between the base station and the mobile station. On the
other hand, the transmit voice encoder performs voice sampling and then, creates encoded voice packets to be
sent out to the receive voice encoder, whereas the receive voice encoder demodulates the received voice packets
into voice samples.
One of the two voice encoders described in the above is selected for use depending on inputted automatic
conditions and message/data; both of them utilize four-stage frames of 9600, 4800, 2400, and 1200 bits per
second for cellular and 14400,7200,3600,1800 bits per second for PCS, so PCS provide relatively better voice
quality (almost twice better than the existing celluar system). In addition, this type of v ariable voice encoder
utilizes adaptive threshold values on selecting required data rate. It is adjusted in accordance with the size of
background noise and the data rate is increased to high rate only when the voice of caller is inputted.
Therefore, background noise is suppressed and high-quality voice transmission is possible under the
environment experiencing serious noise. In addition, in case the caller does not talk, data transmission rate is
reduced so that the transmission is carried out in low energy. This will reduce the interference on other CDMA
signals and as a result, improve system performance (capacity increased by about two times).
2.4 Protecting Call Confidentiality
Voice privercy is provided in the CDMA system by means of the private long code mask used for PN spreading.
Voice privacy can ve applied on the traffic channels only. All calls are initiated using the public long code mask
for PN spreading. The mobile station user may request voice privacy during call setup using the origination
message or page response message, and during traffic channel operation using the long code transition request
order.
The Transition to private long code mask will not be performed if authentication is not performed. To initiate a
transition to the private or public long code mask, either the base station or the mobile station sends a long code
transition request order on the traffic channel.
2.5 Soft Handoff
A handoff in which the mobile station commences communications with a new base station without interrupting
communications with the old base station. Soft handoff can only be used between CDMA channels having
identical freqeuncy assignments.
2.6 Frequency Re-Use and Sector Segmentation
Unlike the existing analog cellular system, the CDMA system can reuse the same frequency at the adjacent cell.
there is no need to prepare a separate frequency plan. Total interference generated on mobile station signals
received from the cell site is the sum of interference generated from other mobile stations in the same cell site
LG Electronics Inc.

UX210
and interference generated from the mobile station of adjacent cell site. That is, each mobile station signal
generates interference in relation to the signals of all the other mobile stations.
Total interference from all the adjacent cell sites is the ratio of interference from all the cell sites versus total
interference from other mobile stations in the same cell site (about 65%). In the case of directional cell site, one
cell normally uses a 120°sector antenna in order to divide the sector into three. In this case, each antenna is
used only for 1/3 of mobile stations in the cell site and accordingly, interference is reduced by 1/3 on the average
and the capacity that can be supported by the entire system is increased by three times.
2.7 Soft Capacity
The subscriber capacity of the CDMA system is flexible depending on the relation between the number of
users and service classes. For example, the system operator can increase the number of channels available for
use during the busy hour despite the drop in call quality. This type of function requires 40% of normal call
channels in the standby mode during the handoff, in an effort to avoid call disconnection resulting from the lack
of channels.
In addition, in the CDMA system, services and service charges are classified further into different classes so that
more transmit power can be allocated to high class service users for easier call set-up; they can also be given
higher priority of using hand-off function than the general users.

3. Structure and Functions of tri-band CDMA Mobile Phone
The hardware structure of CDMA mobile phone is made up of radio frequency (RF) part and logic part. The
RF part is composed of Receiver part (Rx), Transmitter part (Tx) and Local part (LO). For the purpose of
operating on tri-band, It is necessary dual Tx path, tri Rx path, dual PLL and switching system for band
selection. The mobile phone antenna is connected with the frequency seperater which divide antenna
input/output signals between cellular frequency band (824~894 MHz) and PCS frequency band
(1850~1990MHz). Each separated path is linked with the cellular duplexer and PCS duplexer. Duplexer carrys
out seperating Rx band and Tx band. The Rx signals from the antenna are converted into intermediate
frequency(IF) band by the frequency synthesizer and frequency down converter. And then, pass SAW filter
which is a band pass filter for removing out image frequency. The IF output signals that have been filtered is
converted into digital signals via Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC). In front of the ADC, switching system is
required to choose which band path should be open. The digital signals send to 5 correlators in each CDMA
de-modulator. Of these, one is called a searcher whereas the remaining 4 are called data receivers (fingers).
Digitalized IF signals include a great number of call signals that have been sent out by the adjacent cells. These
signals are detected with pseudo-noise sequence (PN Sequence). Signal to interference ratio (C/I) on signals that
match the desired PN sequence are increased through this type of correlation detection process, but other signals
obtain processing gain by not increasing the ratio. The carrier wave of pilot channel from the cell site most
adjacently located is demodulated in order to obtain the sequence of encoded data symbols. During the operation
with one cell site, the searcher searches out multi-paths in accordance with terrain and building reflections. On
three data receivers, the most powerful 3 paths are allocated for the parallel tracing and receiving. Fading
resistance can be improved a great deal by obtaining the diversity combined output for de-modulation. Moreover,
the searcher can be used to determine the most powerful path from the cell sites even during the so ft handoff
between the two cell sites. Moreover, 3 data receivers are allocated in order to carry out the de-modulation of
these paths. Output data that has been demodulated changes the data string in the combined data row as in the
case of original signals(deinterleaving), and then, are demodulated by the forward error correction decoder
which uses the Viterbi algorithm.
Mobile station user information send out from the mobile station to the cell site pass through the digital voice
encoder via a mike. Then, they are encoded and forward errors are corrected through the use of convolution
encoder. Then, the order of code rows is changed in accordance with a certain regulation in order to remove any
errors in the interleaver. Symbols made through the above process are spread after being loaded onto PN carrier
waves. At this time, PN sequence is selected by each address designated in each call.
Signals that have been code spread as above are digital modulated (QPSK) and then, power controlled at the
automatic gain control amplifier (AGC Amp). Then, they are converted into RF band by the frequency
synthesizer synchronizing these signals to proper output frequencies.
Transmit signals obtained pass through the duplexer filter and then, are sent out to the cell site via the antenna.

CHAPTER 3. Circuit Description
1. RF Transmit/Receive Part
1.1 Overview
The Tx and Rx part employs the Direct-Conversion system. The Tx and Rx frequencies are respectively
824.04~848.97 and 869.04~893.97 for cellular and 1850~1910 and 1930~1990 for PCS. The block diagram is
shown in [Figure 1-1]. RF signals received through the antenna are seperated by the QUINTPLEXER.
RF Signal fed into the low noise amplifier (LNA) through the duplexer. Then, they are fed into RFR6000. In
RFR6000, the RF signal is changed into baseband signal directly. Then, this signal is changed into digital signal
by the analog to digital converter (ADC, A/D Converter), and the digital circuit part of the MSM(Mobile Station
Modem) 6050 processes the data from ADC. The digital processing part is a demodulator.
In the case of transmission, RFT6100 receives OQPSK-modulated anlaog signal from the MSM6050.
The RFT6100 connects directly with MSM6050 using an analog baseband interface. In RFT6100, the baseband
quadrature signals are upconverted to the Cellular or PCS frequency bands and amplified to provide signal drive
capability to the power amp.
After that, the RF signal is amplified by the Power Amp in order to have enough power for radiation. Finally,
the RF signal is sent out to the cell site via the antenna after going through the duplexer.
The main function of Quintplexer is to prohib it the other band signals from flowing into the one band circuit
and vice versa. RF designer can use common tri-band antenna regardless of frequency band (800, 1575 and
1900 MHz). This component function is equal to the SP3T switch and Duplexer. The specification of UX210

1.2.4 Rx RF SAW FILTER(F100, F101)
The main function of Rx RF SAW filter is to attenuate mobile phone spurious frequency, attenuate noise
amplified by the LNA and suppress second harmonic originating in the LNA.
1.2.5 Down-converter Mixers (U110)
The RFR6000 device performs signal down-conversion for Cellular, PCS and GPS tri-band applications. It
contains all the circuitry (with the exception of external filters) needed to support conversion of received RF
signals to baseband signals. The three downconverting Mixers (Cellular, PCS and GPS), and an LO Buffer
Amplifier to buffer the RF VCO to the RF Transmit Upconverter. The GPS LNA & mixers offer the most
advanced and integrated CDMA Rx solution designed to meet cascaded Noise Figure (NF) and Third-order
Intercept Point (IIP3) requirements of IS-98C and J-STD-018 specifications for Sensitivity, Two-Tone
Intermodulation, and Single-tone Desense.
Operation modes and band selection are specially controlled from the Mobile Station Modem MSM6050.

1.3 Description of Transmit Part Circuit
1.3.1 RFT6100 (U111)
The RFT6100 baseband-to-RF Transmit Processor performs all Tx signal-processing functions required
between digital baseband and the Power Amplifier Modulator (PAM). The baseband quadrature signals are
upconverted to the Cellular or PCS frequency bands and amplified to provide signal drive capability to the PAM.
The RFT6100 includes an mixers for up-converting analog baseband to RF, a programmable PLL for generating
Tx and Rx LO frequency, cellular and PCS driver amplifiers and Tx power control through an 85 dB VGA. As
added benefit, the single sideband upconversion eliminates the need for a band pass filter normally required
between the upconverter and driver amplifier.
I, I/, Q and Q/ signals proceed from the MSM6050 to RFT6100 are analog signal. In CDMA mode, These
signals are modulated by Offset Quadrature Phase Shift King (OQPSK). I and Q are 90 deg. out of phase, and I
and I/ are 180 deg. The mixers in RFT6100 converts baseband signals into RF signals. After passing through
the upconverters, RF signal is inputted into the Power AMP.

1.3.2 Power Amplifier(U109)
The power amplifier that can be used in the PCS and CDMA mode has linear amplification capability and
high efficiency. For higher efficiency, it is made up of one MMIC (Monolithic Microw ave Integrated Circuit)
for which RF input terminal and internal interface circuit are integrated onto one IC after going through the
AlGaAs/GaAs HBT (heterojunction bipolar transistor) process. The module of power amplifier is made up of an
output end interface circuit including this MMIC. The maximum power that can be inputted through the input
terminal is +17dBm and conversion gain is about 28dB. RF transmit signals that have been amplified through
the power amplifier are sent to the duplexer.

1.4 Description of Frequency Synthesizer Circuit
1.4.1 Voltage Control Temperature Compensation Crystal Oscillator (VCTCXO, U108)
The temperature variation of mobile phone can be compensated by VCTCXO. The reference frequency of a
mobile phone is 19.2 MHz. The receiver frequency tuning signals called TRK_LO_ADJ from MSM as 0.5
V~2.5 V DC via R and C filter in order to generate the reference frequency of 19.2 MHz and input it into the
frequency synthesizer. Frequency stability depending on temperature is ±2.0 ppm.
1.4.2 Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO, U107)
The external VCO signal is processed by the LO generation and distribution circuits in RFR6000 to create the
PCS and Cellular quadrature downconverter’s LO signals. Likewise, the internal VCO signal of RFR6000 is
processed to create the GPS quadrature downconverter’s LO signal. In all cases, the LO signals applied at the
mixer ports are at the frequency different than the VCO frequency. This assures that the VCO frequency is
different than the RF frequency, an important consideration for Zero-IF processing. The VCO frequency used
are 1715.56~1768.89 MHz for PCS and 1738.08~1787.94 MHz for cellular and they are produced in single
voltage controlled oscillator of U107.
