Introduction
The THX–4 series is an advanced analogue handportable cellular
telephone for operation on the E–TACS cellular system. The design is
fully compatible with the TACS Mobile Station / Land Station specification.
The telephone contains many advanced user facilities and is designed for
ease of maintenance.
The transceiver consists of two modules: a system module and a display
module.
System Module
The system module performs the following functions:
received audio processing
transmitted audio processing
Transceiver Overview
data reception and transmission
channel selection
RF signal reception and detection of the modulated
information to baseband
modulation of the baseband microphone and data
signal to the selected channel and amplification of the
RF signal to the selected power level
The system module contains a microprocessor, which controls the main
functions of the phone, and parts of the HW dependent user interface
(earphone, microphone, and alarm–beeper).
For convenience the non–RF sub–systems are referred to as the
’Baseband functions’, and the RF sub–systems as the ’RF functions’.
Figures 1 and 2 show the rf and baseband functional blocks respectively.
The RF functions provide the RF interface with the cellular system and
demodulated audio signals to the analogue sub–system. They also
modulate audio signals from the analogue sub–system.
The baseband functions cover both analogue sub–systems (responsible
for all audio processing functions) and digital sub–systems (responsible
for all digital signal processing functions) and the microcontroller /
software (responsible for control and data processing functions).
Display Module
The display module comprises a supertwist–LCD, a display driver and
keyboard contacts, volume and on/off switches.
