Transceiver NPC-1
Introduction
The NPC-1 is a single band transceiver unit designed for TDMA800 networks. The transceiver consists of the engine module (WS8) and the various assembly parts.
The transceiver has a full graphic display and the user interface is based o n a jack style
UI with two soft keys. An internal antenna is used in the phone, and there is no connection to an external antenna. The transceiver also has a low leakage tolerant earpiece and
an omnidirectional microphone that provides excellent audio quality.
An integrated infrared (IR) link provides connec tion between two NPC-1 transcei vers or
between a transceiver and a PC (internal da ta), or a transceiver and a printer.

UEM
Introduction to UEM
UEM is the Universal Energy Management IC for digital hand portable phones. In addition to energy management, it performs all the base band’s mixed-signal functions.
Most UEM pins have 2kV ESD protection, and those signals considered to be more easily
exposed to ESD, have 8kV protection within the UEM. These kinds of signals are (1) all
audio signals, (2) headset signals, (3) BSI, (4) Btemp, (5) Fbus and (6) Mbus signals.
Issue 1 10/01ãNokia CorporationPage 11
NPC-1
System ModulePAMS Technical Documentation
Regulators
The UEM has six regulators for baseband power supplies and seven regulators for RF
power supplies. The VR1 regulator has two outputs: (1) VR1a and (2) VR1b. In addition to
these, there are two current generators - IPA1 and IPA2 - for biasing purposes.
A bypass capacitor (1uF) is required for each regulator output to ensure stability.
Reference voltages for regulat ors require exter nal 1uF capacitors. Vref25RF is the refer-
ence voltage for the VR2 regulator, Vref25BB is the reference voltage for the VANA,
VFLASH1, VFLASH2, VR1 regulators, Vref278 is the re ference voltage for the VR3, VR4,
VR5, VR6, VR7 regulators, and VrefRF01 is the reference voltage for the VIO, VCORE regulators and for the radio frequency (RF).
The VANA regulator supplies the baseband’s (BB) internal and external analog cir cuitry.
It is disabled in the Sleep mode.
The Vflash1 regulator supplie s the LCD, the IR-module and the digital parts of th e UEM
and Safari asic. It is enabled during startup an d goes into the low Iq-mode when in the
Sleep mode.
The VIO regulator supplies both the e xternal and internal logic circuit ries. It is used by
the LCD, flash, bluetooth and UPP. The regulator goes into the low Iq-mode when in theSleep mode.
The VCORE regulator supplies the DSP and the core part of the UPP. The voltage is programmable and the startup default is 1.5V. The regulator goes into the low Iq-mode
when in the Sleep mode.
The VSIM regulator supplies the SIM card. NOT USED IN NPC-1.
Page 12ãNokia CorporationIssue 1 10/01
NPC-1
PAMS Technical DocumentationSystem Module
The VR1 regulator uses tw o LDOs and a charge pump. The charge pump requires one
external 1uF capacitor in the Vpump pin and a 220nF flying capacitor between the CCP
and CCN pins. In practice, the 220nF flying capacitor is f ormed by 2 x 100nF capacitors
that are parallel to each other. The VR1 regulator is used by the Safari RF ASIC.
The VR2 regulator is used to supply the (1) external RF parts, (2) lower band up converter, (3) TX power detector module and (4) Safari. In light load situatio ns, the VR2 regulator can be set to the low Iq-mode.
The VR3 regulator supplies the VCTCXO and Safari in the RF. It is always enabled when
the UEM is active. When the UEM is in the Sleep mode, the VR3 is disabled.
The VR4 regulator supplies the RX frontends (LNA and RX mixers).
The VR5 regulator supplies the lower band PA. In light load situations, the VR5 regulator
can be set to the low Iq-mode.
The VR6 regulator supplies the higher band PA and TX amplifier. In light load situations,
the VR6 regulator can be set to the low Iq-mode.
The VR7 regulator supplies the VCO and Safari. In light load situations, the VR7 regulator
can be set to the low Iq-mode.
The IPA1 and IPA2 are programmable current generators. A 27kW/1%/100ppm external
resistor is used to improve the accuracy of the output current. The IPA1 is used by the
lower PA band and IPA2 is used by the higher PA band.
RF Interface
The interface between the baseband and the RF section is also handled by the UEM. It
provides A/D and D/A conversion of the in-pha se and quadrature receive and transmit
signal paths. It also provides A/D and D/ A conve rsions of receiv ed and transmitte d audio
signals to and from the UI section. The UEM supplies the analog AFC signal to the RF section, according to the UPP DSP digital control.
Charging Control
The CHACON block of the UEM asics controls charging. The needed functions for the
charging controls are the (1) pwm-controlled battery charging switch, (2) charger-monitoring circuitry, (3) battery voltage monitori ng circuitry and (4) RTC supply circuitry for
backup battery charging (Not used in NPC-1). In addition to these, external component s
are needed for EMC protection of the charger input to the baseband module.
Digital Interface
Data transmission between the U EM and the UPP is impleme nted using two seri al connections, DBUS (programmable clock) for DSP and CBUS (1.0MHz GSM and 1.08MHz
TDMA) for MCU. The UEM is a dual voltage circuit: the digital parts are run from 1.8V
and the analog parts are run from 2.78V. The Vbat (3,6V) voltage regulators's input is
also used.
Issue 1 10/01ãNokia CorporationPage 13
NPC-1
System ModulePAMS Technical Documentation
Audio Codec
The baseband supports two external microphone input ar eas and one external ea rphone
output. The input can be taken from an internal microphone, a headset microphone or
from an external microphone signal source through a headset connector. The output for
the internal earpiece is a dual-ended type output, and the dif ferential output is capable
of driving 4Vpp to the earpiece with a 60 dB minimum signal as the total distortion ratio.
The input and output signal source se lection and gain control is performed inside the
UEM Asic, according to the c ontrol messages from the UPP. A buzzer a nd an external
vibra alert control signal are gener ated by the UEM with separate PWM outputs.
UI Drivers
There is a single output driver for the buzzer, vibra, display and keyboard l eds an d the IR
in the side of the UEM. These generate PWM square wave for the various devices.
IR interface
The IR interface is designed and implemented into th e UEM. The low frequency mode of
the IR module covers speeds up to 115.2 kbit/s. The device (Vis hay) tr ansc eiv ers inte gra te
a sensitive receiver and a built-in power driver. The combination of a thin, long resistive
and inductive wiring should be avoided. The input (Txd, SD/M ode) and the output Rxd
should be directly coupled to the I/O circuit. The VBAT regulator supplies the power to
transmit the led and serial resistor limits’ current. Upon rece ivi ng infra red data to IR led,
it goes straight to the UEM via the RXD line . The Vflash1 is the power supply f or the IR
module, except for transmission.The IR module has one control pin to control the shut
down. The control lever shifter is used to change the proper voltage for shutdown to the
IR module from the UPP.
AD Converters
The UEM is equipped with a 11-channel analog to digital converter. Some AD converter
channels (LS, KEYB1-2) are not used in NPC-1. The AD converters are calibrated in the
production line.
UPP
Introduction
NPC-1 uses the UPPv4M ASIC. The RAM size is 4M. The processor architecture consists of
both the DSP and the MCU processors.
Blocks
The UPP is internally partitioned into two main parts: (1) the Brain and (2) the Body.
1The Processor and Memory System (that is, the Processor cores, Mega-cells,
internal memories, perip herals and external memory inter face) is known as the
Brain.
The Brain consists of the following blocks: (1) the DSP Subsystem (DSPSS), (2) the
MCU Subsystem (MCUSS), (3) the emulation control EMUCtl, (4) the program/
data RAM PDRAM and (5) the Brain Peripherals–subsystem (BrainPer).

2The NMP custom cellular logic functions are known as the Body.
The Body contains interfaces and functions needed fo r interfacing other baseband and RF parts. The body consists of, fo r example, the following sub-blocks:
(1) MFI, (2) SCU, (3) CTSI , (4) RxModem, ( 5) Acc IF, (6) UIF, (7) C oder, (8) BodyIF, (9)
PUP.
Flash Memory
Introduction
The NPC-1 transceiver uses a 32 Mbit f lash as its external memory. The VIO regulator is
used as a power supply for normal in-system op eration. An accelerated program/erase
operation can be obtained by supplying Vpp of 12 volt to the flash device.
The device has two read modes: asynchronous and burst. The Burst read mode is utilized
in NPC-1, except for the start-up, when the asynchronous read mode is used for a short
time.
User Interface Hardware
LCD
Introduction
NPC-1 uses a black & white GD46 84x48 full dot matrix graphical display. There are two
suppliers for this LCD: Seiko Epson and P hilips. The LCD module includes the LCD glass,
the LCD COG-driver, an elastomer connector and a metal frame. The LCD module is
included in the lightguide assembly module.
Interface
The LCD is controlled by the UI SW and the control signals are from the UPP asic. The VIO
and Vflash1 regulators supply the LCD with power.
The LCD has an internal voltage booster and a booster capacitor is required between
Vout and GND.
Pin 3 (Vss9) is the LCD driver’s ground and Pin 9 (GND) is used to ground the metal
frame.
Keyboard
Introduction
The NPC-1 keyboar d styl e fol lows the Nokia Jack style , withou t side keys for vol ume co ntrol. The PWR key is integrated so that it is part of the IR window an d located on top of
the phone.

Figure 3: Placement of keys.
Power Key
All signals for the keyboard come from the UPP asic, except PWRONX line for the power
key signal which is connect ed dir ectly to t he U EM. The pr essing o f the PWR k ey gro und s
the PWRONX line and the UEM generate s an inter rupt to U OO, which is then re cognized
as a PWR key press.
Keys
Other keys are detected so that w hen a key is pressed down, the metal dome connects
one S-line and one R-line of the UPP to the GND and creat es an interrupt for the SW.
This kind of detection is also known as metaldome detection. The matrix of how lines are
connected and which lines are used for differen t keys is described in the Table 1. The Sline S0 and R-line R5 are not used at all.

Lights
Introduction
NPC-1 has 10 LEDs for lighting purposes. Six of them are for the keyboard and four for
the display. The LED type is Osram LGM470, green light emitting and SMD through hole
mounted.
Page 16ãNokia CorporationIssue 1 10/01
NPC-1
PAMS Technical DocumentationSystem Module
Interfaces
The display lights are controlled by a Dlight signal from the UEM. The Dlight output is the
PWM signal, which is used to control the average current going through the LEDs. When
the battery voltage changes, the new PWM v alue is written onto the PWM register. In
this way, the brightness of the lights remains the same with all battery voltages within
range. The frequency of the signal is fixed at 128Hz.
The keyboard lights are controlled by the Klight signal from the UEM. The Klight output is
also a PWM signal and is used in the same way as Dlight.
Technical Information
Each LED requires a hole in t he PWB, in which the body of the LED locates in hole and
terminals are soldered on the component side of the module PWB. The LEDs have a white
plastic body around the diode, and this directs the emitted light better to the UI-side.
The current for the LCD lights is limited by the resistor between the Vbatt and LEDs. For
the keyboard lights there are resistors in parallel.
Vibra
Introduction
The vibra is located on the D-cover and is connected by spring connectors on the bottom
left-hand side of the engine. The vibra motor is supplied by Namiki.
Interfaces
The vibra is controlled by the PWM signal VIBRA from the UEM. With this signal, it is
possible to control both the frequency and pulse width of the signal. The pulse widt h is
used to control the current when the bat tery vol tage changes. Wit h the freque ncy control, it is possible to search for the optimum frequency to have silent and efficient vibrating.

Audio HW
Earpiece
Introduction
The Philips Speaker System 13mm speaker capsule is used in NPC-1.
The speaker is a dynamic one. It is very sensitive and capable of producing relatively high
sound pressure also at low frequencies. The speaker capsule and the mechanics around it
together make the earpiece.
Microphone
Introduction
The microphone is an electret microphone with an omnidirectional polar pattern. It consists of an electrically polarized membrane and a metal electrode which form a capacitor .
Air pressure changes (for example, sound) moves the membrane, which causes voltage
changes across the capacitor. Because the capacitance is t ypically 2 pF, a FET buffer is
needed inside the microphone capsule for the signal generated by the capacitor. Because
of the FET, the microphone needs a bias voltage.
The microphone manufacturers for the NPC-1 transceiver are Matsushita and Hosi den.
Buzzer
Introduction
The operating principle of the buzzer is magnetic. The diaphragm of the buzzer is made
of magnetic material and it is located in a magnetic f ield created by a perm anent magnet. The winding is not attached to the diaphragm, as is the case with the speaker. The
winding is located in the magnetic circuit so tha t it can alter the magnetic field o f the
permanent magnet, thus changing the magnetic force affecting the diaphragm. The
buzzer's useful frequency range is approximately from 2 kHz to 5kHz.
The Buzzer manufacturer for the NPC-1 transceiver is Star.
Battery
Phone Battery
Introduction
The BMC-2 battery (Ni-MH 640mAh) is be used in the NPC-1 transceiver by default. It is
also possible to use the BMC-3 (Ni-MH 900mAh) and BLC-2 (Li-ion 850mA) batteries.
Interface
The battery block contains NTC and BSI resistors for tempe rature measur emen t and battery identification. The BSI fixed resistor value indicates the chemistry and default

and capacity information is needed for charge control. These resistors are connected to
BSI and BTEMP pins of the battery connector. The phone has pull-up resistors for these
lines so that they can be re ad by A/D inputs in the phone (see the figure below). Serial
resistors in the BSI and BTEMP lines are f or ESD protection. Both lines also have spark

An accessory is de tecte d by t he Head Int-lin e, whi ch is connect ed to the XEARP inside the
system connector. When an accessory is connected, it disconnects XEARP from HEADINT,
and the UEM detects it and generates an interrupt ( UEMINT) to the MCU. After that, the
HOOKINT line is used to determine which accessory is connected. This is done by the
voltage divider, which consists of the phone's internal pull-up and accessory-specific
pull-down. The voltage generated by this divider is then read by the ad- converter of
UEM. The HOOKINT- interrupt is generated by the button in the headset or by the accessory external audio input.

IR module
Introduction
The IR module integrates a sensitive receiver and a built-in power driver complaint to the
IrDA 1.2 standard. The IR module is located at the top of the engine side, nex t to the
Power switch.
The IR module manufacturer for the NPC-1 transcei ver is Vishay.
Interface
The Vflash1 regulator supplies the IR module, except for the transmit LED. The transmit
LED is supplied by the VBAT regulator and the maximum current is limited by a se rial
resistor. The bypass capacitor is needed in the VBAT line for proper voltage. TXD and RXD
lines are connected to the UEM and shutdown is controlled by the UPP (GENIO(10))
through a level-shifter V350.
Technical Information
The IR interface is located in the UEM. The IR link supports speeds fr om 9600 bit/s to
1.152 MBit/s, up to 1m.
Charger IF
Introduction
The charger connection is implemente d through the system connector. The system connector supports charging with both plug chargers and desktop stand chargers.
There are three signals for charging. The cha rger GND pin is used for both desktop and
plug chargers as well as for charger voltage. The PWM cont rol line, which is needed for
Page 22ãNokia CorporationIssue 1 10/01

VPP
FBUS_TX
PAMS Technical DocumentationSystem Module
3-wire chargers, is connected directly to the GND in the PWB module, so the NPC-1
engine does not provide any PWM control for chargers. Charging controlling is done
inside the UEM by switching the UEM’s intern al charger switch on and off.
Interface
The fuse F100 protects the phone from too high currents, for example, when broken or
pirate chargers are used. L100 protects the engine from RF noises, which may occur in
the charging cable. V100 protects the UEM ASIC from reverse polarity charging voltage
and from too high charging voltages. C106 is also used for ESD and EMC protection.
Spark gaps right after the charger plug are used for ESD protection.
Test Interfaces
Production Test Pattern
The interface for NPC-1 production testing is a 5pin pad layout in the BB area (see the
figure below). The production tester conne cts to these pads by using spring connectors.
The interface includes the MBUS, FBUSRX, FBUSTX, VPP and GND signals. The pad size i s
1.7mm. The same pads are used also for AS test e quipment, such as the module jig and
the service cable.
Other Test Points
As BB asics and flash memory are CSP components, the visibility of BB signals is very
poor. This makes the measuring of most of the BB signals impossible. In order to debug
the BB, at least to some level, the most important signals can be accessed from the
0.6mm test points. The figure below shows the test points located between the UEM and
the UPP. There is an opening in the baseband shield to provide access to these pads.

EMC
General
The EMC performance of NPC-1’s baseband is improve d by using a shield to cover the
main components of the BB, such as the UEM, UPP and Flash. The UEM has internal protection against a ±8kV ESD pulse. The BB-shield is soldered to the PWB and it also
increases the rigidity of the PWB in the BB area, thus improving the phone’s reliability.
The shield also improves the thermal dissipation by spreading the heat more widely.

Keyboard lines
ESD protection for keyboard signals is implemented by using metaldome detection.
Grounded keydomes are very eff ective for ESD protectio n and do not require additional
components for ESD protection. The distance from the A-cover to the PWB is made
longer using spikes in the key mat. The C-cover metalliza tion also protects th e keyboard
lines.

The C-cover on the UI-side is metallized on the inne r sur face (partl y) and is gro unded to
the GND module. All areas in which the plated C-cover touches the PWB surface are
grounded and the solder masks are opened.
PWB
All edges are grounded on both sides of the PWB and the solder mask is opened in these
areas. The aim is that any ESD pulse faces the ground area when enter ing the phone, for
example, between the mechanics covers.

PAMS Technical DocumentationSystem Module
All holes in the PWB are grounded and plated through holes. The only exception i s the
LED holes, which cannot be grounded.
LCD
ESD protection for LCD is implemented by connecting the metal fr ame of the LCD into
ground. The connection is only on one side, at the top of the LCD, which is not the best
solution. The software takes care of the LCD's crashing in case of an ESD pulse.
Microphone
The microphone’s metal cover is connected to the GND and ther e are spark gaps on the
PWB. The microphone is an asymmetrical circuit, which makes it w ell protected against
EMC.
EARP
The EARP is protected with C-cover metallization and with a plastic-fronted earpiece.
Buzzer
PWB openings with the C-cover metallization protect the buzzer from ESD.
IRDA
PWB openings with C-cover metallization protect IRDA lines fr om ESD.

The opening in the protective met al deck, underneath the battery, is so small that ESD
does not get into the MBUS and FBUS lines in the producti on test pattern.

RF Module
Requirements
The NPC-1 RF module supports the following systems:
•AMPS
•TDMA800
Hence, the minimum transceiver performance requirements are described in TIA/EIA136-270. The NPC-1 RF must follow the requirements in the revision A. The EMC requirements are set by FCC 47CFR 15.107 (conducted emissions), 15.109 (radiated emissions,
idle mode) and 22.917 (radiated emissions, call mode).
Design
The RF design is centered around the SAFARI RF-IC. The SAFARI consists of receivers,
transmitter IF parts and all PLL's. RF filtering, 2G LNA, powe r amplifiers, TX upconverter
and TX power detection circuitry are left outside SAFARI.
The phone comprises of one single-sided 8 –layer PWB. A single multiwall RF shield i s
used and this sets the maximum component height to 2.0mm. An internal antenna is
located on the top of t he phone and there is room f or a 4.0mm high ceramic duplexer
under the antenna assembly.
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
•RSSI channel compensation
•RSSI temperature compensation

Due to the AMPS mode, simultaneous reception and transmission, TX and RX IF frequencies are exactly 45MHz apart from each other. RXIF is 135.54 MHz and TXIF 180.54MHz.
The RXIF frequency is set so that it is not a multipl e of either of VHF's comparison fre quency (120k).

Receiver
The receiver shows a superheterodyne structure with zero 2nd IF. Most of the receiver
functions are integrated in the RF ASIC. The only funct ions out of the c hip are duplex ers
and SAW filters.
An active 1st downconverter sets naturally high gain requi rements f or preceding sta ges.
Hence, losses in very select ive frontend filters are minimized dow n to the limits set by
filter technologies used and component sizes. LNA gain is set up to 16dB, which is close
to the maximum available stable gain from a single stage amplifier. LNAs are not exactly
noise matched in order to keep passband gain rippl e in minimum. Filters have relative
tight stopband requirements, which are not all set by the system requirements but the
interference free operation in t he fie ld. In this re ceive r stru cture, linear ity lies heavily on
mixer design. The 2nd order distortion re quirements of t he mixer are set by the 'half IF'
suppression. A fully balanced mix er topology is required. Additionally, the receiver 3rd
order IIP tends to depend on active mixer IIP3 linearity due to pretty high LNA gain.
IF stages include a narrowband SAW filter on the 1st IF and a integrated lowpass filtering on zero IF. SAW filter guarantee s 14dBc attenuation at alternating channels, which
gives acceptable receiver IMD performance wit h only moderate VHF local phase noise
performance. The local signal's partition to receiver selectivity and IMD depends then
mainly on the spectral purity of the 1st local. Zero 2nd IF stages inc lude most of receiv-

Frequency Synthesizers
NPC-1 synthesizer consists of three synthesizers, one UHF synthesizer and two VHF synthesizers. UHF synthesizer is based on integrated PLL and external UHF VCO, loop filter
and VCTCXO. Its main goal is to achieve the channel select ion f or the dual mode. Due to
the RX and TX architecture this UHF synthesizer is used for down conversion of the
received signal and for f inal up conversion in transmitter. Frequency divider by two is
integrated in Safari.
Two VHF synthesizers consists of: RX VHF Synthesizer includes integrated PLL and VCO
and external loop filter a nd r esonator. The output of RX-VHF PLL is used a s L O signal for
the second mixer in receiver. TX VHF Synthesizer includes integrated PLL and external
amplifier, loop filter and resonator. The output of TX-VHF PLL is used as a LO signal for
the IQ-modulator of the transmitter. See depicted block diagrams and synthesizer characteristics from synthesizer specification document [6].

Transmitter
The transmitter RF architecture is up-conversion type (desired RF spectrum is low side
injection) whit (RF-) modulation and gain control at IF. The IF frequency is 180.54MHz.
The cellular band is 824.01-848.97MHz.
Common IF
The RF-modulator is integrated with PGA (Programma ble Gain Amplifier) and IF output
buffer inside SAFARI_T RFIC-chip (later as Safari) . I- and Q-signals, t hat are output signals from BB-side SW IQ-modulator, have some filtering inside Safari before RF-modulation is performed. The required LO-signal from TXVCO is buffered with phase sifting in
Safari. After modulation (π/4 DQPSK or FM) the modulated IF signal is amplified in PGA.
Cellular Band
The maximum linear (balanced) IF signal level to 50Ω load is about –8 dBm.
For proper AMPS-mode receiver (duplex)sensitivity IF signal is filtered in strip-filter
before up-conversion. The upconverter mixer is actually a mixer with LO and output
driver being able to deliver about +6dBm linear output power. Note, that in this point,
term linear means –33dB ACP. The required LO power is about –6dBm. The LO signal is
fed from Safari.
Before power amplifier RF signal is filter in band filter. The typical insertion loss is about
–2.7dB, and maximum less than –3.5dB. The input and outp ut return losses are about –
10dB.
Power amplifier is 50Ω/50Ω module. It does not have 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 linear output power is +30dBm (typical condition) with –28dB ACP.
The nominal efficiency is 50%.
Power Control
For power monitoring there is a power detector module (PDM) build up from a coupler, a
biased diode detector and an NTC resistor. RF signals are routed via this PDM. The RF isolation between couplers is sufficient not to loose filtering performance given by duplex
filters.
The diode output voltage and NTC voltage are routed to BB A/D converters for power
control purpose. The TX AGC SW takes samples from diode output volt age a nd compa res
that value to target value, and adjust BB I-and Q-signal amplitude and/or Safari PGA
settings to keep power control in balance.
NTC voltage is used for diode temperature compensation and for thermal shut down
when radio board’s temperature exceeds +85°C.
False TX indication is based on detected power measurement when carrier is not on.
The insertion loss of coupler is –0.42dB (max). Typical values for inser tion l oss is about -

0.2dB. The filtering performance of diplexer is taken in account in system calculations.
Signal levels
(For AMPS mode PL2 25.5 dBm, PL2 27.3 dBm for digital mode both bands)
Antenna Circuit
Here the antenna circuit stands for duplex filters and the diplexer. The cellular band
duplex filter is band pass type SAW filter with typical insertion loss about –2.0dB. The
insertion loss of the diplexer is-0.2 (max) and the typical value is about –0.1dB.
RF Performance
The outpu t po wer tu nin g ta rge t fo r po wer le vel 2 a fte r d iple xer (or aft er swit ch for exte rnal RF) is +27.3dBm for π/4 DQPSK type of modulation and +25. 5dBm for FM type of
modulation. Power levels downwards from PL2 are –4dB below next to highest power
level, PL10 being –4.7dBm (and PL7 +6.5dBm with FM type of modulation). Modulation
accuracy and ACP shall be within limits specified in IS-136/137.
Antenna
The NPC-1 antenna solution is an internal single r esonance PIFA-antenna. In a single
band transceiver, a SMD compatible through chip can be used.
