SECTION 1. Introduction
1.1 An Introduction of GSM Digital Cellular Mobile Communication System
GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) concluded that digital technology working in
the Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) mode would provide the optimum solution for the
future system. Specifically , a TDMA system has the following advantage
► Offers a possibility of channel splitting and advanced speech coding ,resulting in improved
spectrum efficiency.
► Offers much greater variety of service than the analog
► Allows considerable improvements to be made with regards to the protection of information.
The GSM system is basically designed as a combination of three major subsystem;
The network subsystem, the radio subsystem, and the operation support system.
The functional architecture of a GSM system can be divided into the Mobile Station (MS), the Base
Station (BS), and the Network Subsystem (NS). The MS is carried by the subscriber, the BS
subsystem controls the radio link with the MS and the NS performs the switching of calls between
the mobile and other fixed or mobile network users as well as mobility management. The MS and
the BS subsystem communicate across the Um interface also known as radio link
The specifications relating to MS are as follows:

4.2 Radio Transceiver Section
Fig.4-1. RF Transceiver block diagram
The PG-3210’s RF Transceiver, which is Aero II, is the industry's most integrated RF front end for
multi-band GSM/GPRS digital cellular handsets and wireless data modems. The high-level of
integration obtained through patented and proven design architectures, fine line CMOS process
technology, and high-performance quad flat no-lead (QFN) technology results in a transceiver
solution with industry-leading performance, the smallest form factor, the fewest number of
components, the smallest solution footprint, and the lowest bill of materials (BOM) in the industry. A
quad-band RF front end using the Aero II transceiver can be implemented with 19 components in less
than 1 cm2 of board area. This level of integration is an enabling force in lowering the cost, simplifying
the design and manufacturing, and shrinking the form factor in next-generation GSM/GPRS voice and
data terminals. The receive section uses a digital low-IF architecture that avoids the difficulties
associated with direct conversion while delivering higher performance, lower solution cost, and
reduced complexity. The baseband interface is compatible with any supplier's baseband The transmit
section is a complete up-conversion path from the baseband subsystem to the power amplifier, and
uses an offset phase-locked loop (OPLL) with a The frequency synthesizer uses Silicon Laboratories'
proven technology that includes an integrated RF VCO, loop filter, and varactor. The unique integer-N
PLL architecture produces a transient response superior in speed to fractional-N architectures
without suffering the high phase noise or spurious modulation effects often associated with those
designs. This fast transient response makes the Aero II transceiver well suited to GPRS multi-slot
applications where channel switching The analog baseband interface is used with conventional GSM
baseband ICs (BBIC). The receive and transmit baseband I/Q pins are multiplexed together in a
4-wire interface. A standard three-wire serial interface is used to control the transceiver.

to be compatible only with a BBIC from the same supplier in order to address the complex dc offset
issues. However, since the Aero II transceiver has no requirement for BBIC support of complex dc
offset compensation, it is able to interface to all of the industry leading baseband ICs.
The receive (RX) section integrates four differentialinput low noise amplifiers (LNAs) supporting the
GSM 850 (869–894 MHz), E-GSM 900 (925–960 MHz), DCS 1800 (1805–1880 MHz), and PCS 1900
(1930–1990 MHz) bands. The LNA gain is controlled with the LNAG bit.
A quadrature image-reject mixer downconverts the RF signal to a low intermediate frequency (IF).
The mixer output is amplified with an analog programmable gain amplifier (PGA) that is controlled
with the AGAIN bits. The quadrature IF signal is digitized with high resolution analog-to-digital
converters (ADCs).
The ADC output is downconverted to baseband with a digital quadrature local oscillator signal. Digital
decimation and FIR filters perform digital filtering, and remove ADC quantization noise, blockers, and
reference interferers. The response of the FIR filter is programmable to a flat passband setting and a
linear phase setting. After filtering, the digital output is scaled with a PGA, which is controlled with the
DGAIN bits.
The LNAG, AGAIN, and DGAIN register bits should be set to provide a constant amplitude signal to
the baseband receive inputs.
Digital-to-analog converters (DACs) drive differential I and Q analog signals onto the BIP, BIN, BQP,
and BQN pins to interface to standard analog-input baseband ICs.
The receive DACs are updated at 1.083 MHz and have a first-order reconstruction filter with a 1 MHz
bandwidth. No special processing is required in the baseband for dc offset compensation. The receive and
transmit baseband I/Q pins are multiplexed together in a 4-wire interface (BIP, BIN, BQP, and BQN). The
common mode level at the receive I and Q outputs is programmable with the DACCM bits, and the fullscale level
is programmable with the DACFS bits.
4.2.3.2 Receiver Part
FEM (Front End Module)
The FEM consists of ASM (Antenna Switch Module) and SAW filters.
A signal receives from the antenna of frequency band which is 881.5±12.5MHz for GSM850
bands, 1842.4±37.4 MHz for DCS bands and1960.2±30 MHz for PCS bands and transmits it to
the saw filter. The Tx filter passes through the output signals of frequency band that is 836.5MHz ±
12.5MHz for GSM850 bands, 1747.4 ±37.4 MHz for DCS and 1880.2 ±30 MHz for PCS bands
from the power amplifier and transmits it to the antenna. The maximum insertion loss is about 3.9
dB for the receiving bands at 25
o
C and about 1.6 dB for the transmitting bands at 25o C.

4.2.4 Transmit Section
4.2.4.1 An Overview of Transmit Section
Fig.4-8. Transmitter block diagram
The transmit section consists of an I/Q baseband upconverter, an offset phase-locked loop (OPLL),
and two 50 Ω output buffers that can drive an external power amplifier (PA). One output is for the
GSM 850 (824–849 MHz) and E-GSM 900 (880–915 MHz) bands and one output is for the DCS 1800
(1710–1785 MHz) and PCS 1900 (1850–1910 MHz) bands.
The OPLL requires no external filtering to attenuate transmitter noise and spurious signals in the
receive band, saving both cost and power. The output of the transmit VCO (TXVCO) is a
constant-envelope signal that reduces the problem of spectral spreading caused by non-linearity in
the PA. Additionally, the TXVCO benefits from isolation provided by the transmit output buffers. This
significantly minimizes any load pull effects and eliminates the need for off-chip isolation networks.
A quadrature mixer upconverts the differential in-phase (BIP, BIN) and quadrature (BQP, BQN)
baseband signals to an intermediate frequency (IF) that is filtered and which is used as the reference
input to the OPLL. The OPLL consists of a feedback mixer, a phase detector, a loop filter, and a fully
integrated TXVCO.
Low-pass filters before the OPLL phase detector reduce the harmonic content of the quadrature
modulator and feedback mixer outputs.
The transmit I/Q interface must have a non-zero input no later than 94 quarter bits after PDN is
asserted for proper operation. If the baseband is unable to provide a sufficient TX I/Q non-zero input
preamble, then the CWDUR bits can be used to provide a preamble extension.
The receive and transmit baseband I/Q pins are multiplexed together in a 4-wire interface (BIP, BIN,
BQP, and BQN). In transmit mode, the BIP, BIN, BQP, and BQN pins provide the analog I/Q input
from the baseband subsystem. The full-scale level at the baseband input pins is programmable with
the BBG[1:0] bits. The I and Q signals are automatically swapped within the Aero II transceiver when
switching bands. The transmit output path is automatically selected by the ARFCN bits and the
BANDIND bits.
