connector-keypad, compression type
32 Khz crystal controlled by CCAP IC for RTC and slotted

StarTac , V.120c phones will also support Mid Rate charger
The flex connector interfaces the main board with the Display,
Speaker and the RTC Battery in the flip.
The accessory antenna port is present on the back side of the
phone near the antenna.
All the logic parts and IC’s are placed on one side and all RF
parts and IC’s are placed on another side of the PCB
V.120c RF CIRCUIT
The RF circuit is somewhat similar to Dual band Caliber/Shark
product, the V.120c phone contains FE IC (the front end IC)
ZIF/SYN IC controls the Main VCO ,the second LO and the
TX offset VCO (in analog mode).
V.120c uses the single VCO module for main
LO (one for the 800 mhz band and another for PCS band) The
output is split into RX_LO and TX_LO
for both the bands.
V.120c uses the ME3 IC - the mixer exciter IC
The ME3 IC allows to control the RF output power. The ME3
IC requires two LO’s, one for PCS, and the other for the 800
Mhz band.
The IF pins (input to the ME3 IC) are the same for any band.
The control signal (TXAtt) at the AGC pins control the gain of
the ME3 IC.
There is an external interstage RF filter between the mixer and
exciter.
The receiver contains two complete receiver paths : 800 Mhz
path that is used by 800 Mhz analog and 800 Mhz CDMA
signals, and a PCS band(1900Mhz) path for PCS signal. The
two paths have different RF, LO and IF frequencies.
The switching of the antenna and accessory antenna port is
mechanical, normally close circuit with antenna connector, but
when accessory RF cable is inserted in the accessory port the
switch opens the circuit with antenna and closes the circuit with
the accessory port.
For Frequencies and channel numbers look at the table in this
manual
The FE IC contains the LNA’s , interstage filtering and Mixers,
the switching and gain of the LNA’s is controlled by the
control signals
ZIF/SYN IC extracts the broadband signal from the IF ,
demodulate the analog signal and sends it to the audio logic
side for further processing.
Balun is a component external to ME3 IC and is not a discreet
part as in V.60c
From the mixer the outputs take two different paths one for TX
PCS band and another for TX 800Mhz band.
ME3 IC has 50dBM attenuator control (input IF level= 23dBM , max output TX level= 25dBM)
At the output of ME3 IC band filter are used , in the PCS path
two split band filters are used. V.120c uses celeritek PA HBT
and not MOSFET as in V.60c.
Two stage PA in 800 Mhz band and three stage PA in PCS
band .
In V.120c PA adjustable bias only Drain therefore the output
power can be controlled by PA_B+ DAC besides ME3 IC
(through Tx_Attn). PA gate Bias is not adjustable but fixed and
regulated at 2.95v.
The phone receives the RF signal from the Antenna or the
RF test port, the received RF signal is routed through the
Diplexer - FL11 to mono block duplex SAW filter –
FL12. The RF signal is then routed to the Front End
IC(FE IC) – U100 , which contains LNA which provides
a 10 -12 dB gain to the received RF signal, and U100
provides inter stage filtering and it contains Mixer which
down converts the frequency of the signal to IF which is
109.65Mhz.
The local oscillator signal which is input to the FEIC is
978 – 1004Mhz. The VCO module U680 is controlled by
the ZIF/SYN IC – U932.
The mixer output IF signal 109.65Mhz is routed through
IF filter - FL201 into the ZIF/SYN IC U932 for mixing
with the second LO ,filtering and demodulation.
RECEIVER AUDIO
DISC - signal an AMPS discriminator audio which is the
output of FM demodulator in U932 is produced by mixing
the IF signal with the second LO (which is controlled by
U932) and then filtered. The audio on DISC line goes to
WALLY IC -U1100 to be digitized. All receive audio
filtering and gain control is performed in the digital
domain within the WALLY which contains DSP, the
processed RX audio is converted back to analog and
routed to CCAP IC – U2000 on signals AUDIO_P and
AUDIO_M.
The CCAP - U2000 amplifies and route the audio
signal(receive audio) to the speaker (phone speaker,
boom speaker or external speaker). The alert tone
originates in WALLY IC and follows the same path as
receive audio except from CCAP it is routed to the
alert.
TRANSMITTER
TRANSMITTER AUDIO
Audio from the Microphone (internal, boom or
external) is routed through and amplified by CCAP –
U2000 and then travel to the WALLY IC – U1100 on
MIC1 and MICREF lines which is digitized by the
CODEC inside the WALLY and the DSP present in
WALLY performs the compression, pre-emphasis,
limiting and band pass filtering function in the digital
domain. All Amps signaling (SAT, ST, DTMF) is
also generated in the digital domain by the DSP inside
the WALLY. The digitized amps TX audio signal is
converted back to analog inside the WALLY and
sent on FM line to the 154.8MhzTx offset VCO to
modulate the transmitter frequency.
TRANSMITTER CIRCUITRY
The FM signal from WALLY modulates the Tx
offset VCO signal which is external but controlled
by ZIF/SYN – U932. The Tx IF modulated signal
154.8Mhz is input to the ME3 IC – U600 where it
get mixed with the 979 – 1004 Mhz local oscillator
signal. The Tx signal then passes through the band
pass filter FL605 into the Power Amplifier (PA) –
U430 where it is amplified and the output passes
through the isolator U550 and then through TX
band pass mono block duplex SAW filter FL12 and
through diplexer FL11 to the antenna or RF test
port.

FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZER CIRCUITRY
The phone contains three PLL frequency synthesizers
controlled by U932.
1. The main VCO : there is only one VCO modules which controls the tunable 979 – 1004Mhz main local
oscillator – and is ON during Cellular or 800Mhz mode.
and also controls the tunable 2039-2100Mhz main local
oscillator, which is ON during PCS or 1900Mhz mode.
2. The Tx offset VCO: there are two modes and two
frequency at which this oscillator which is internal to
U932 works, but the tank circuit is external. There are
two tank circuits one for Cellular mode (800Mhz)
which will set 309.6Mhz frequency for the oscillator to
oscillate on. Another tank circuit for PCS mode
(1900Mhz) which will set 379.6Mhz frequency for the
oscillator to oscillate on. The Tx offset frequency is
divided by 2 before being fed into the mixer for
modulation.
All the synthesizers obtain their reference
frequency from the 16.8Mhz reference
oscillator.
TRANSMIT POWER CONTROL
CIRCUITRY
The transmit signal power (the output RF power)
is controlled by the three control signals
ZIF_VCA and ME_VCA from WALLY IC and
PA_VCC from CCAP IC. The output power is
controlled at three places, ZIFSYN – U932 which
has a gain control of max 40dB and ME3 ICU600 which has a total gain of max 36dB and PA
has a gain of max 27-32dB.
In Amps mode the power range is +8dBM to
+28dBM. In CDMA mode the RF power range is
from –50dBM to +23dBM.
In CDMA mode the power control operates in
two mode: Open loop and Close loop. In open
loop mode (at the beginning of registering –
access probe) the power level is proportional to
the received signal level, in close loop mode the
power level is controlled by the CDMA cell based
on the received signal strength at the cell site.
3. The second LO: the second local oscillator also
operates in two modes with two different frequencies:
For AMPS mode the frequency is 219.3Mhz and for
CDMA mode at cellular or 800Mhz band and PCS or
1900Mhz band the frequency is 219.8Mhz. The tank
circuit is external to the U932. The frequency is divided
by 2 before being fed into the mixer.
