Introduction

This chapter describes the system module for the RM-11 transceiver.
The baseband module includes the baseband engine chipset, the UI components, and the acoustic components. The RM-11 is a hand-portable, dual-band CDMA 800/1900 with AMPS. It has been designed using a DCT4 generation baseband (UEM/UPP) and RF module. RM-11 includes a template cutter and user-customizable template front and back covers. Other features include an integrated VGA camera, an IR, and a built-in flashlight.
The phone requires the BLD-3 battery with a nominal capacity of 780 mAh.

Technical Summary

The baseband module is implemented using two main ASICs — the Universal Energy Management (UEM) and the Universal Phone Processor (UPP). The baseband module also contains an audio amplifier for MIDI support and a 128-Mbit Flash/ 8-Mbit SRAM combo IC. EMC shielding is implemented using a metallized plastic frame. On the other side, the engine is shielded with PWB ground openings. Heat generated by the circuitry is conducted out via the PWB ground planes. The RM-11 transceiver module is imple­mented on a 6-layer, FR-4 material PWB.

Functional Description

Modes of Operation

The RM-11 baseband engine has five different operating modes:
No supply
Acting dead
•Active
•Sleep
Charging
No Supply Mode
In NO_SUPPLY mode, the phone has no supply voltage. This mode is due to the discon­nection of the main battery or a low battery voltage level. The phone exits from NO_SUPPLY mode when a sufficient battery voltage level is detected. The battery voltage can rise either by connecting a new battery with VBAT > VMSTR+, or by connecting a charger and charging the battery voltage to above VMSTR+.
Acting Dead Mode
If the phone is powered off when the charger is connected, the phone is powered on and enters a state called Acting Dead. In this mode, no RF circuitry is powered up. To the user, the phone acts as if it is switched off. The phone issues a battery-charging alert and/or shows a battery charging indication on the display to acknowledge to the user that the battery is charging.
Active Mode
In active mode, the phone is in normal operation, scanning for channels, listening to a base station, transmitting, and processing information. There are several sub-states in the active mode depending on if the phone is in burst reception, burst transmission, etc. SW controls the RF regulators by writing the correct values into the UEM control registers. VR1A/B and VR2 can be enabled or disabled. VR4 - VR7 can be enabled, disabled, or forced into low quiescent current mode. VR3 is always enabled in active mode.

Page 6
RM-11 System Module CC Technical Document atio n
Sleep Mode
The phone enters Sleep mode when both the MCU and the DSP are in stand-by mode. Both processors control sleep. When the SLEEPX low signal is detected, the UEM enters Sleep mode. In this mode, the VCORE, VIO and VFLASH1 regulators are put into low quiescent current mode. All RF regulators — with the exception of VR2 and VR3 — are disabled in sleep mode. When the SLEEPX is set high and is detected by the UEM, the phone enters Active mode and all functions are activated. Sleep mode is exited either by the expiration of a sleep clock counter in the UEM, or by some external interrupt gener­ated by a charger connection, key press, headset connection, etc. While in Sleep mode, the main oscillator is shut down and the baseband section uses the 32 kHz sleep clock oscillator as its reference.
Charging Mode
Charging can be performed in parallel with any other operating mode. The Battery Size Indicator (BSI) resistor inside the battery pack indicates the battery type/size. The resistor value corresponds to a specific battery capacity and technology. Under UPP software control, the UEM's AD converters measure the battery voltage, temperature, size, and current. The charging control circuitry (CHACON) inside the UEM controls the charging current delivered from the charger to the battery. The battery voltage rise is limited by turning the UEM switch off when the battery voltage has reached VBATLim (programmable charging cut-off limits are 3.6V, 5.0V, 5.25V). Measuring the voltage drop across a 0.22 Ohm resistor monitors the charging current.

UEM and UPP

The UEM contains a series of voltage regulators to supply both the baseband module and the RF module. Both the RF and baseband modules are supplied with regulated voltages of 2.78 V and 1.8 V. The UEM contains six linear LDO (low drop-out) regulators for the baseband and seven regulators for RF circuitry. The RF regulator VR1 uses two LDOs and a charge pump. The VR1 regulator is used by the RF module. The core of the UPP is sup­plied with a programmable voltage of 1.0 V, 1.3 V, 1.5 V, or 1.8 V. Note that with the UEMK, VCORE supply voltage is set to 1.5 V.
The UPP operates from a 19.2 MHz clock generated in the RF ASIC. The DSP and MCU both contain phase locked loop (PLL) clock multipliers, which can multiply the system frequency by factors from 0.25 to 31. The actual execution speed is limited by the memory configuration and process size (Max. DSP speed for C035 is ~ 200MHz).
The UEM contains a real-time clock, sliced down from the 32768 Hz crystal oscillator. The UPP uses the 32768 Hz clock as the sleep clock.
The communication between the UEM and the UPP is done via the bi-directional serial busses, CBUS and DBUS. The CBUS is controlled by the MCU and operates at a speed of
1.08 MHz. The DBUS is controlled by the DSP and operates at a speed of 9.6 MHz. Both processors are located in the UPP.
The interface between baseband and RF is implemented in the UEM and UPP ASIC. The UEM provides A/D and D/A conversion of the in-phase and quadrature receive and trans­mit signal paths. It also provides A/D and D/A conversions of received and transmitted audio signals to and from the user interface. The UEM supplies the analog signals to the RF section according to the UPP DSP digital control. The RF ASIC is controlled via the UPP RFBUS serial interface. There are also separate signals for PDM-coded audio. Digital speech processing is handled by the DSP inside the UPP ASIC. The UEM is a dual voltage circuit with the digital parts running from the baseband supply (1.8 V) and the analog parts running from the analog supply of 2.78 V. The input battery voltage (VBAT) is also used directly by some UEM blocks.
The baseband supports both internal and external microphone inputs as well as speaker outputs. Input and output signal source selection and gain control are done by the UEM according to control messages from the UPP. Keypad tones, DTMF, and other audio tones are generated and encoded by the UPP and transmitted to the UEM for decoding. The RM-11 has two external serial control interfaces: FBUS and MBUS provided by the UEM. These busses can be accessed only through production test patterns. RM-11 also uses the UPP8MV3 and UEMK.

Temperature and capacity information is needed for charge control. These resistors are connected to the BSI and BTEMP pins of the battery connector. The phone has 100 kW pull-up resistors for these lines so that they can be read by A/D inputs in the phone. For safety reasons, the phone software will shut the phone off if it senses a temperature of
38oC or higher on the BTEMP line.

Charging
The RM-11 baseband supports the NMP charger interface specified in the Janette
Charger Interface document. SW control is specified in the EM SW Specification, ISA EM Core SW Project document. The UEM ASIC controls charging, and external components
are used to provide EMC, reverse polarity, and transient protection of the charger input to the baseband module. The charger connection is through the system connector inter­face. Both 2- and 3-wire type chargers are supported. The operation of the charging circuit has been specified to limit the power dissipation across the charge switch and to ensure safe operation in all modes.

Charger Detection

Connecting a charger creates voltage on the VCHAR input to the UEM. When the VCHAR input voltage level rises above the VCHDET+ threshold, the UEM starts the charging process. The VCHARDET signal is generated to indicate the presence of the charger for the SW.
Energy Management (EM) SW controls the charger identification and acceptance. The charger recognition is initiated when the EM SW receives a "charger connected" inter­rupt. The algorithm basically consists of the following three steps:
1. Check that the charger output (voltage and current) is within safety limits.
2. Identify the charger.
3. Check that the charger is within the charger window.
If the charger is identified and accepted, the appropriate charging algorithm is initiated.

Charger Interface Protection

In order to ensure safe operation with all chargers and in misuse situations, the charger interface is protected using a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) and a 1.5A fuse. The TVS device used in RM-11 is rated for 16 V@175 W.
Figure 6: Charger interface diagram
Table 4 includes the values for the TVS.

Max reverse leakage current at VR (IR) 5uA
Max peak impulse current (Ipp) 7A (at Ta=25*C, current waveform: 10/1000us)
Max clamping voltage at Ipp (Vc) 26V

LED Driver Circuit

In RM-11, white LEDs are used for LCD and keypad lighting. Two LEDs are used for LCD lighting and six are used for the keyboard. A step-up DC-DC converter (TK11851) is used as the white LED driver.
The display LEDs are driven in serial mode to achieve stable backlight quality. This means that constant current flows through LCD LEDs. Serial resistance RLCD is used to define the proper current. The feedback signal (FB) is used to control the current. The driver increases or decreases the output voltage for LEDs to keep the current stable.
Keyboard LEDs are driven in 2-serial/3 parallel modes. Serial resistance R is used to limit the current through LEDs. The feedback signal is not used to control the current. The driver is controlled by the UEM via the DLIGHT output. This signal is connected to driver EN-pin (on/off). It is possible to control the LED brightness by PWM to achieve smooth on/off operation.

RF Interface Block

The interface between the baseband and the RF module can be divided into two categories: the digital interface and the analog interface. The digital interface is between the UPP and the RF chip. The serial digital interface is used to control the operation of the different blocks in the RF chip. The analog interface is between the UEM and the RF. The entire BB-RF interface is discussed in the RF-BB Interface Specification RH-27 document.

Combo Memory Module

The RM-11 baseband memory module consists of a combo Flash/SRAM chip. It has 128 Mbit burst-type flash memory and 8Mbit of SRAM. In addition, the UPP has 8Mbits of internal RAM. The UPP RAM is part of the UPP and is not discussed here.

Combo Memory Interface

The memory interface consists of a multiplexed address/data bus MEMADDA [23:0], the MEMCONT[9:0] memory control bus, and the GENIO[23], which is used for memory control. The purpose of the memory interface is to reduce the amount of interconnections by multiplexing the address and data signals on the same bus. Because the required Flash address space is more than 16bits, the MEMADDA[15:0] are multi­plexed address/data lines and MEMADDA[22:16] are only address lines, which in total allow for 8M addresses (MEMADDA[21:0]). The multiplexed data/address lines require the memory to store the address during the first cycle in the read/write access. Data access to the flash is performed as a 16-bit access (MEMADDA[15:0]) in order to improve the data rate on the bus. The memory interface supports asynchronous read burst mode, synchronous read, and simultaneous read-while-write/erase — all controlled by the UPP.

SRAM Memory Description

The combo memory chip used in RM-11 has 8 Mbit of SRAM, 16-bits wide running at
1.8 V. It uses a multiplexed address and data bus to minimize the pin count of the device. Control signals are used to allow byte access to the device.
Page 14 ©2004 Nokia Corporation Confidential Issue 1 02/2004
Page 15
RM-11
CC Technical Documentation System Module

Flash Memory Description

The 128 Mbit density flash with 16-bit data access operates in both asynchronous random access and synchronous burst access (with crossing partition boundaries) and has various data protection features. Upon power up or reset, the device defaults to asynchronous read configuration. Synchronous burst read is indicated to the device by writing to the flash configuration register and can be terminated by deactivating the device.
The device supports reads and in-system erase and program operations at Vcc=1.8 V (Voltage range 1.7-1.9 V). Flashing at production is supported at Vpp=12 V (for limited exposure length only).

Flash Architecture

The datasheet of RM-11 combo memory contains detailed information about Flash architecture.

Keyboard (UI Module)

The RM-11 consists of a separate UI board and includes contacts for the keypad domes and LEDs for keypad lighting. The UI board is connected to the main PWB through a 16-pole, board-to-board connector with springs. A 5x4 matrix keyboard is also used. Key pressing is detected by a scanning procedure. Keypad signals are connected via the UPP keyboard interface.
When no key is pressed, row inputs are high due to UPP internal pull-up resistors. The columns are written zero. When a key is pressed, one row is pulled down and an interrupt is generated to the MCU. After receiving the interrupt, the MCU starts the scanning procedure. All columns are first written high and then one column at a time is written down. All columns, except the column that is written down, are set as inputs. Rows are read while a column at the time is written down. If a row is down, it indicates that key, which is at the cross point of the selected column and row that was pressed. After detecting the pressed key, all registers inside the UPP are reset and columns are written back to zero.

Keyboard ESD Protection

The SMD chips LEDs on the UI board have 2kV ESD protection. In case the A-cover is removed, there is a potential risk of damaging the LEDs with electrostatic discharge. Ground openings are made around LEDs to catch ESD sparks. For additional protection, the dome sheet is made of conductive metallized tape and grounded to the display shield.

Internal Audio

Internal Microphone
The internal microphone capsule is mounted to in the UI frame. The microphone is omni-directional and is connected to the UEM microphone input (MIC1P/N). The micro­phone input is asymmetric and the UEM (MICB1) provides bias voltage. The microphone input on the UEM is ESD protected. Spring contacts are used to connect the microphone to the main PWB.

MIC1N
Internal Speaker
The internal earpiece is a dynamic earpiece with an impedance of 32 ohms. The earpiece is low impedance because the sound pressure is to be generated using current and not voltage as the supply voltage is restricted to 2.7 V. The earpiece is driven directly by the UEM and the earpiece driver (EARP and EARN outputs) is a fully differential bridge amplifier with 6 dB gain. In RM-11, an 8 mm leak tolerant PICO earpiece is used.

The LM4855 features a 32-step, digital volume control and eight distinct output modes. The digital volume control and output modes are accessed through a 3-wire interface controlled by the UPP. Digital volume control is needed when the FM radio is activated; there is no amplifier block in the FM radio module. Output modes are needed when routing audio to different locations (i.e., headset, IHF).

External Audio Connector

The RM-11 is designed to support a fully differential external audio accessory connection by using a Tomahawk system connector. The Tomahawk connector has a serial data bus called Accessory Control Interface (ACI) for accessory insertion and removal detection, identification, and authentication. The ACI line is used for accessory control purposes and includes the following:
4-wire fully differential stereo audio (used also FM-radio antenna connection)
2-wire differential mic input

External Microphone Connection

The external microphone input is fully differential and lines are connected to the UEM microphone input (MIC2P/N). The UEM (MICB2) provides bias voltage. The microphone input lines are ESD protected.
Creating a short circuit between the headset microphone signals generates the hook signal. When the accessory is not connected, the UEM resistor pulls up the HookInt signal. When the accessory is inserted and the microphone path is biased the HookInt signal decreases to 1.8 V due to the microphone bias current flowing through the resistor. When the button is pressed, the microphone signals are connected together and the HookInt input receives half of micbias DC value 1.1 V. This change in DC level causes the HookInt comparator output to change states, in this case from 0 to 1. The button can be used for answering incoming calls but not to initiate outgoing calls.

IrDa Interface

When using transceiver with 1.8V I/O, the IrDa interface is designed into the UPP. The IR link supports speeds from 9600 bit/s to 1.152 MBit/s up to a distance of 80 cm. Transmission over the IR is half-duplex.
The length of the transmitted IR pulse depends on the speed of the transmission. When
230.4 kbit/s or less is used as a transmission speed, pulse length is a maximum of
1.63ms. If the transmission speed is set to 1.152Mbit/s, the pulse length is 154ns.
The IR transceiver can be set into SIR or MIR modes. In SIR mode the transceiver is capable of transmission speeds up to 115.2kbit/s. In MIR mode faster transmission speeds are used. The maximum speed is 1.152Mbit/s. The IR transceiver can be set into shut­down mode by setting the SD pin to logic '1' to save current.

Vibra

A vibra-alerting device is used to generate a vibration signal for an incoming call. Vibra is located in the bottom end of the phone and a connection is done with spring contacts. The vibra interface is the same as in other DCT4 projects. The vibra is controlled by a PWM signal from the UEM. The frequency can be set to 64, 129, 258, or 520 Hz and the duty cycle can vary between 3% - 97%. To ensure compatibility with different UEM versions, the RM-11 uses 40.5% duty cycle of the vibra PWM signal.

FM Radio

FM radio circuitry is implemented by using a highly integrated radio IC (TEA5767). TEA5767 is a single-chip, electronically tuned, FM stereo radio with fully integrated IF selectivity and demodulation. The IF frequency is 225 kHz. The radio is completely adjustment-free and only requires a minimum of small, low-cost, external components. It has signal-dependent mono/stereo blend [Stereo Noise Cancelling (SNC)]. The radio can tune the European, US, and Japan FM bands.
Channel tuning and other controls are controlled through a serial bus interface by the MCUSW. The reference clock (32kHz) is generated by the UPP CTSI block (routed from the sleep clock).

Flashlight

The flashlight feature on C-Rio is driven by the white LED driver and is controlled by the UEM. The circuit for the flashlight is driven by TK11851TL. In this situation, the driver is used as a boost DC/DC. Vout is set using three precision resistors in R300, R316, and R317. Vout = Vfb * (1+ (R316+R317)/ R300). The TK11851L is an active-high enable device, whose enable signal is tied to Klight/Dlight signals from the UEM. When Klight goes high it turns on the TK11851TL driver and the V301 transistor, which allows a path to GND.

Accessory Control Interface (ACI)
The ACI is a point-to-point, bi-directional serial bus. It has three main features:
The insertion and removal detection of an accessory device
Acting as a data bus, intended mainly for control purposes
The identification and authentication of accessory type which is connected
The accessories are detected by the HeadInt signal when the plug is inserted. Normally when an accessory is not present, the pull-up resistor 100k pulls up the HeadInt signal to VFLASH1. If the accessory is inserted, the external resistor (located to accessory) works as a voltage divider and decreases the voltage level below the threshold of Vhead. The comparator output is then changed to a high state, which causes an interrupt.
If the accessory is removed, the voltage level of HeadInt increases again to VFLASH1. This voltage level is higher than the threshold of the comparator and so its output is changed to low, which leads to an interrupt. These HeadInt interrupts are initiated by the acces­sory detection or removal sequence.

External Accessory Regulator
An external LDO Regulator is needed for accessory power supply purposes. All ACI acces­sories require this power supply. A regulator input is connected to the battery voltage VBAT and output is connected to the Vout pin in the Tomahawk connector. The regulator ON/OFF function is controlled via the UPP.
The pull-down resistor on the enable input of the regulator is needed because in the switch-off mode of the phone, the output level of the Genio(0) is not defined. If the Genio(0) is floating, the regulator may be enabled when it should not be.

PWB Immunity

The PWB has been designed to shield all lines susceptible for radiation. Sensitive PWB tracks have been drawn with respect to shielding by having ground plane over tracks, and ground close to the tracks at the same layer.
Page 22 ©2004 Nokia Corporation Confidential Issue 1 02/2004
Page 23
RM-11
CC Technical Documentation System Module
All edges are grounded from both sides of the PWB and a solder mask is opened from these areas. The purpose is for any ESD pulse to face a ground area when entering the phone (i.e., between mechanics covers). All holes in the PWB are grounded and plated through holes.

Keyboard

The keyboard PWB layout consists of a grounded outer ring and either a trefoil pattern grid (matrix) or an inner pad. This construction makes the keys immune to ESD, as the key dome has a low ohmic contact with the PWB ground.

Audio Lines

In order to obtain good signal-to-noise ratio and good EMC/ESD immunity, the audio lines have been carefully routed with respect to obtaining low impedance in the signal path and obtaining proper shielding.

Microphone Lines

Microphone signals are input lines and therefore very sensitive to radiated fields. Immunity for radiated fields is done to obtain a low-impedance path and with respect to a common noise point of view in the signal path. This applies for both internal and external microphone lines.

EAR Lines

EAR lines are output signals, also routed on layer 2 and 7, to obtain immunity for conducted emission from the UEM. Internal EAR lines are EMC/ESD protected by radiated fields from the earpiece by the low-impedance signal path in the PWB.
The same PWB outline has been implemented for the SALT speaker. Low ohm coil inductors are used in series with the speaker for immunity against incoming fields from the speaker.

Charger Lines

The ground from the charger is connected directly to a common PWB ground for a low impedance path to the battery. The positive charger line is ESD, EMC, and short-circuit protected by appropriate circuits.

HEADINT

The HEADINT line is EMC/ESD protected by routing on shielded layer 2 and by placement of resistor R154 close to the bottom connector.

Battery Supply Filtering

Battery supply lines to the UEM IC are filtered with LC filters. These filters provide immunity against conducted RF noise.
Issue 1 02/2004 ©2004 Nokia Corporation Confidential Page 23
Page 24
RM-11 System Module CC Technical Documentation

System Connector

The immunity strategy concerning the bottom connector lines is to shield all lines to this part in order to prevent radiation in the phone itself when an external accessory is connected, and to prevent radiated fields from disturbing the lines as well. Appropriate discrete filters close to the bottom connector are implemented for EMC and ESD protection.

Mechanical Shielding

The RM-11 has a metal shield over the RF and BB parts to provide immunity for internal radiation and immunity for external fields.

EMC Strategy

The phone must comply with the given CE requirements concerning EMC and ESD. The goal is to pass internal SPR requirements. Therefore attention has been paid to obtaining immunity in the PWB layout itself, and the implementation of filters in the circuit design.
The baseband EMC strategy is divided into electrical and mechanical items. All electrical guidelines, clocks, and high-speed signals should be routed in inner layers and away from the PWB edges. Clock signals distributed to other circuits should have series resistors incorporated to reduce rise times and reflections. Slew rate-controlled buffers should be used on custom components wherever possible to reduce the EMC produced by the circuit. Separate power supplies for digital, analog, and RF-blocks should be used as much as possible. Baseband and RF supply power rails should be isolated from each other by means of inductors in the power supply rail to prevent high-frequency components produced on the baseband power supply rail to spread out over the RF power supply plane. This might be required to avoid interference from digital circuits to affect the performance of the RF section.
All external connectors and connections must be filtered using RC or LC networks to prevent the high-frequency components from entering connection cables that then will act as antennas. The amount of this type of EMC component is in straight relation to the amount of external connections. The type of network and amount of components to be used is determined by the AC and DC impedance characteristic of that particular signal. Low-impedance signals require LC networks while medium-impedance level signals (input signals at moderate bandwidth) can use RC networks.
The EMC protection should also prevent external or internal signals to cause interference to the baseband and, in particular, to audio signals. Internal interference is generated by the transmitter burst frequency and the switchmode charging. The transmitter burst frequency interference is likely to cause noise to both microphone and earphone signals. The transmitter RF interference is likely to cause more problems in the microphone circuitry than in the earphone circuitry because the earpiece is a low-impedance dynamic type.
As mechanical guidelines, the baseband and RF sections should be isolated from each other using EMC shielding, which suppresses radiated interference. The transmitter burst frequency can also generate mechanical vibrations that can be picked up by the

CC Technical Documentation System Module
microphone if it is not properly isolated from the chassis using rubber or some other soft material. Connection wires to the internal microphone and earphone should be as short as possible to reduce the interference caused by internal signals.
ESD protection has to be implemented on each external connection that is accessible during normal operation of the phone.

Test Interfaces

Using the Tomahawk connector’s FBUS connections, the phone HW can be tested by PC software (i.e., Phoenix test software). In addition, RM-11 also supports a Flash program­ming interface via the service battery, JTAG, and Ostrich test interfaces. JTAG test inter­face may be removed from the final product for security reasons.

Production / After Sales Interface

Test pads are placed on the engine PWB for service and production purposes. The same test pattern is used by the After Market Sales (AMS) group for product testing and soft­ware upgrades. The following figure shows the top view of the test pads. The FBUS_TX and RX lines are used to transfer data in or out of the phone. VPP is the Flash program­ming voltage and the MBUS/CLK line is used as a Flash clock line during flashing.

Flash Interface

Flash programming in production is done through the test pads in Figure 20 on the PWB.

FBUS Interface

The FBUS is an asynchronous data bus that has separate TX and RX signals. The default bit rate of the bus is 115.2 kbit/s. The FBUS is mainly used for controlling and program­ming the phone in production. This is the primary interface used in the RM-11.

RF Functional Description

Most of the RF functions are centered around the RF ASIC. Receiver IF stages, low-band LNA, PLLs, RXVHF oscillator, TX VHF VCO active part and loop filter, high-band and low­band TX up-converters, TX IF stages, IQ modulator and demodulator and reference oscil­lator buffering are all integrated on single chip.

Circuit Diagrams and PWB Layout

Receiver

The receiver design and system partition is from the Snoopy AD project. The receiver shows a superheterodyne structure with zero 2nd IF. Low-band and high-band receivers have separate front ends from the diplexer to the first IF. Most of the receiver functions are integrated in the RF ASIC. The only functions out of the chip are the high-band LNA, duplexers, and SAW filters. Receiver characteristics are very similar on both bands.
An active first downconverter sets naturally high-gain requirements for preceding stages. Losses in very selective front-end filters are minimized down to the limits set by filter technologies used and component sizes. The LNA gain is set up to 16 dB, which is close to the maximum available stable gain from a single-stage amplifier. LNAs are not exactly noise matched in order to keep pass band gain ripple to a minimum. Filters have relatively tight stop band requirements, which are not all set by the system requirements
Page 28 ©2004 Nokia Corporation Confidential Issue 1 02/2004
Page 29
RM-11
CC Technical Documentation System Module
but the interference free operation in the field. In this receiver structure, linearity lies heavily on the mixer design. The second order distortion requirements of the mixer are set by the 'half IF' suppression. A fully balanced mixer topology is required. Additionally, the receiver third order IIP tends to depend on active mixer IIP3 linearity due to high LNA gain.
IF stages include a narrow-band SAW filter on the first IF and an integrated lowpass filtering is on zero IF. The SAW filter guarantees 14 dBc attenuation at alternating channels, which gives acceptable receiver IMD performance with only moderate VHF local phase noise performance. The local signal's partition to receiver selectivity and IMD depends mainly on the spectral purity of the first local. Zero 2nd IF stages include most of the receiver’s signal gain, AGC control range, and channel filtering.
Receiver requirements and characteristics are presented in detail in the RX specification.

Frequency Synthesizers

The RM-11 synthesizer consists of three synthesizers: one UHF synthesizer and two VHF synthesizers. The UHF synthesizer is based on an integrated PLL and external UHF VCO, loop filter, and VCTCXO. Its main goal is to achieve the channel selection, thus for dual­band operations associated with dual mode. Due to the RX and TX architecture, this UHF synthesizer is used for down conversion of the received signal and for final up-conversion in the transmitter. A common 2 GHz UHFVCO module is used for operation on both low and high bands. The frequency divider by two is integrated in the RF ASIC.
The two VHF synthesizers consist of the RX VHF synthesizer and the TX VHF synthesizer.The RX VHF synthesizer includes integrated PLL and VCO and loop filter and resonator. The output of the RX-VHF PLL is used as a LO signal for the second mixer in the receiver. The TX VHF Synthesizer and loop filter are integrated into the RF ASIC. See the depicted block diagrams and synthesizer characteristics from the Synthesizer specifi­cation document.

Transmitter

The transmitter RF architecture is up-conversion type (desired RF spectrum is low side injection) with (RF-) modulation and gain control at IF. The IF frequency is 180.54 MHz. The cellular band is 824.01-848.97 MHz and the PCS band is 1850.01-1909.95 MHz.
Common IF
The RF modulator is integrated with a Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA) and an IF out­put buffer inside the RFIC chip. I- and Q-signals, which are output signals from the BB-side SW IQ-modulator, have some filtering inside the RF ASIC before RF modulation is performed. The required LO-signal from TXVCO is buffered with phase shifting in the RF ASIC. After modulation (p/4 DQPSK or FM), the modulated IF signal is amplified in PGA.
Cellular Band
At operation in cellular band, the IF signal is buffered at the IF output stage that is enabled by TXP1 TX control. The maximum linear (balanced) IF signal level to 50 W load is about -8 dBm.
Issue 1 02/2004 ©2004 Nokia Corporation Confidential Page 29
Page 30
RM-11 System Module CC Technical Documentation
For proper AMPS-mode receiver (duplex) sensitivity, the IF signal is filtered in a strip-filter before up-conversion. The upconverter mixer is actually a mixer with a LO and output driver that is able to deliver about +6dBm linear output power. The mixer is inside the RF IC. Note that in this point, the term “linear” means -33dB ACP. The required LO power is about -6dBm. The LO signal is fed from the RF IC.
Before power amplifier RF signal is filter in band filter. The typical insertion loss is about
-2.7dB, and the maximum is less than -3.0dB. The input and output return losses are about -10dB.
The power amplifier is a 50W/50W module. It does not have its own enable/disable control signal, but it can be enabled by bias voltage and reference bias current signals. The gain window is +27 to +31dB and the linear output power is +30dBm (typical condi­tion) with -28dB ACP. The nominal efficiency is 50%.
PCS Band
When operating in the PCS band, the IF signal is routed outside from RF IC to be filtered in the TX IF strip filter, and after that back to the RF IC, then to the upconverter mixer. The LO signal to the mixer is buffered and balanced inside the RF IC. The mixer output is enabled by the TXP2 TX control signal. The maximum linear (balanced) RF signal level to 50 W load is about +7dBm.
Next, the RF IC-balanced RF signal is single-ended in 1:1 balun and then filtered in the SAW filter. The typical insertion loss is about -4.0dB, and the maximum is less than
-5.0dB. This filter has a relatively high pass band ripple about 1.0-1.5dB with the largest insertion being at the high end of the band. The input and return losses are about -10dB.
The power amplifier is a 50W/50W module. It does not have its own enable/disable control signal, but it can be enabled by bias voltage and reference bias current signals. The gain window is +31 to +36dB and linear output power is +30dBm (typical condition) with -28dB ACP. The nominal efficiency is 40%.
Power Control
For power monitoring, there is a power detector module (PDM) build up from a dual coupler, a biased diode detector, and an NTC resistor. RF signals from both bands are routed via this PDM. The RF isolation between couplers is sufficient not to lose filtering performance given by duplex filters.
The diode output and NTC voltages are routed to the BB A/D converters for power control. The TX AGC SW takes samples from the diode output voltage and compares that value to the target value, and then adjusts the BB I-and Q-signal amplitude and/or RF IC PGA settings to keep power control in balance.
NTC voltage is used for diode temperature compensation and for thermal shut down when the radio board's temperature exceeds +85°C.
A false TX indication is based on the detected power measurement when the carrier is not on.
Page 30 ©2004 Nokia Corporation Confidential Issue 1 02/2004
Page 31
RM-11
CC Technical Documentation System Module
The coupler’s insertion loss is -0.42dB (max) at the cellular band and -0.48dB (max) at the PCS band. Typical values for insertion losses are about -0.2dB. The filtering perfor­mance of the diplexer is taken into account in system calculations.
Antenna Circuit
The antenna circuit stands for duplex filters and diplexer. The cellular band duplex filter is a band pass type SAW filter with typical insertion loss at about -2.0dB. The PCS band duplex filter is a band stop (for receiver band) ceramic filter and its typical insertion loss is about -1.7dB. Insertion losses of the diplexer are -0.45dB and -0.55dB (at maximum) for cellular and PCS band—typical values being about -0.30dB and -0.35dB.
RF Performance
The output power tuning target for power level 2 after diplexer (or after switch for external RF) is +27.3dBm for p/4 DQPSK-type modulation and +24.5dBm for FM-type modulation. Power levels downwards from PL2 are -4dB below next to the highest power level, PL10 being -4.7dBm (and PL7 +6.5dBm with FM type of modulation). Modulation accuracy and ACP are within the limits specified in IS-136/137.

The RM-11 antenna solution is an internal dual resonance PIFA antenna. This antenna has a common feeding point for both antenna radiators, which results in the need for a diplexer. In a single band transciever, an SMD-compatible through chip can be used.

Software Compensations

The following software compensations are required:
Power levels temperature compensation
Power levels channel compensation
Power level reduction due to low battery voltage
TX power up/down ramps
PA's bias reference currents vs. power, temp and operation mode
RX IQ DC offsets
