RH-53/54
8-System Module Nokia Customer Care
The VCO for the 900/1800 (RH-53) bands covers the range of 3420 to 3840 MHz, while the
VCO for 850/1900 (RH-54) (and thereby the quad band) covers 3296 to 3980 MHz.
PLL Synthesizer, Functional Description
The frequency synthesis PLL in conjunction with the VCO and 2/4 dividers generates the LO
signal for both RX and TX paths, locked to the VCXO which again is locked to the base station
through the AFC.
■ Receiver
The Receiver, figure 14, is a dual band direct conversion linear receiver. The received RF signal
is routed from the antenna to the FEM, where the RX/TX switch is located. The RX/TX switch
performs both the switching between receive – transmit routing of the antenna signals as well
as the selection of the band to be used.
The RX signal is routed from the RX/TX switch, in the FEM, to the RX bandpass filter. The filter
input is single ended and the output is balanced in order to exploit the balanced nature of the
RF-ASIC. The bandlimited signal is amplified in the internal LNA and the Pre-gain amplifier be-
fore being converted to a BB signal in the passive mixer.
Figure 14:Simplified BB, either I or Q channel
The BB signal from the passive mixer is amplified by 24 dB in BBAMP1. In order to provide the
first band limitation a 4 MHz pole is added at the input and a 250 kHz pole at the output of
BBAMP1. No AGC is provided in this amplifier. BBAMP1 is followed by LPF1 with a gain of 14
dB and with a pole at 86 kHz. LPF1 is followed by DCN1 (DC compensation amplifier 1) with a
minimum gain of 0 dB and a maximum gain of 24 dB. The DCN1 output is followed by a con-
trolled attenuator, which has a control range of 48 dB. The attenuator output is filtered in LPF2,
a biquad filter, before passing DNC2, (DC compensation amplifier 1). The total filter combina-
tion gives a flat transfer function from DC to 90 kHz. All capacitors for both filters are located in
the RF-ASIC.
The gain characteristic of the BB amplifier is an amplifier with a maximum gain of 80 dB with
an AGC range of 72 dB.
The receiver selectivity for out-of-band signals is defined by the RF front-end SAW filter.
