This is accomplished by setting up two simultaneouscommunications links between the handset and base RF boards.  The RF receiver and transmitter circuitryessentially provide a link between the microphone and receiver in the handset to the telephone line in thebase set.  In this way the phone performs exactly as a corded phone, except without the cord.The frequency at which the handset transmits to the base is centered around 926.55 MHz, and thefrequency at which the base transmits to the handset is centered around 903.8 MHz. The data rate whichis modulated onto the RF carrier is 48 kbps.  On the receiver side, the data is extracted and thenconverted back into the original audio signal.It is important to note that the synthesizer / pre-scaler IC only operates up to 500 MHz.   The VCO'stherefore oscillate at roughly 450 MHz.  The 900 MHz signals needed for the transmit and receive sectionsare generated from the second harmonic of the VCO frequencies.The following section will outline the transmit frequencies used as well as the corresponding LO frequencywhich is used for the receiver.  This is followed by the Block diagram and a block by block functionaldescription of the modules.

An 18.25 MHz reference is present for use in the frequency synthesizers.  The accuracy of this18.25 MHz input will affect the transmit and receive frequencies.  In order to ensure proper operation ofthe RF sections, the 18.25 MHz reference signal must be at least 500 mV in amplitude.  Also present is the3-line serial synchronous data bus on which data is transferred to the synthesizers to set both the transmitand receive frequencies.In the transmit direction, modulation input allows digital data to be modulated directly onto the TX carrier.In the receive direction, the RF section performs a single down-conversion of the incoming RF signal to10.7 MHz where it is demodulated and sent to the AMD ASIC.  The Data output is the demodulated signalwhich is sent to the ASIC to be filtered and shaped by an internal data slicer.   The reconstructed datarepresents the original voice which is can then be processed by the DSP in the ASIC..The following section explains the individual blocks in the RF section in detail.  All reference to partnumbers correspond to the handset schematic.

Theantennas used are a retractable 1/2 wave with 2.5 dB gain relative to an isotropic radiator and a fixed 1/4wave antenna with roughly 0 dB gain relative to an isotropic radiator.  The duplexer and filters which followthe antenna, require a 50 ohm match to operate properly.  The antenna is roughly matched to 50 ohms andrequires a simple microstrip matching network to achieve this.  If a network analyzer is attached to theBFA connector after disconnecting the duplexer, the antenna match may be measured.  In order to achievea good 50 ohm match, one must be careful not to obstruct the antenna as any object near the antenna willaffect its impedance.3.1.2 SAW DuplexerThe SAW Duplexer consists of two bandpass filters to  provide the necessary isolation between transmitand receive sections and to pass the correct frequencies to transmit and receive sections.  To ensure thatthe Duplexer is operating correctly, the match looking into the filters from the BFA connector may bemeasured.  To do this it is necessary to remove the 0 ohm resistor which connects the antenna to theDuplexer.  A return loss of approximately 15 dB should be measured for both the TX and RX bands.3.2 Receive Section3.2.1  RX Amps and SAW FilterThe purpose of the first RX amp is to provide enough gain that the noise figure of the RX section is fixed toas low a value as possible.  It must provide a good 50 Ω match to both the RX bandpass filter and theSAW filter.  This amplifier must also have good power handling capability due to the limited filtering whichprecedes it.  The design employs a collector inductor to improve the output power capability of thetransistor.  This form of matching also ensures that the gain of this stage is not too wide band furtherimproving its performance by allowing it to effectively reject signals which are far out of its passband.Directly following the first RX amp is the SAW filter.  This filter is responsible for the bulk of the filtering inthe receive section.  It provides more than 40dB of image rejection and TX carrier suppression.  Theinsertion loss of this filter is relatively high due to its SAW implementation.  It has an insertion loss of lessthan 5 dB, typically 4 dB.  An amplifier is required before this SAW filter to keep the noise figure low.  If itwere not present, the noise figure of the phone would increase by the 4 dB loss associated with the SAWfilter.The second RX amp provides a limited amount of gain.  Its main function is to ensure that the mixer sees agood wideband match.  Measuring the RX gain from the BFA connector to the output of this amplifier willproduce results as shown in Figure 4 below.

The mixer used for this task is a dual gate FET (NEC 25139).  TheLO and RF signals are placed on the gates of the FET and the IF signal is coupled off of the drain.  TheFET provides conversion gain along with adequate power handling characteristics.  Both the RF and LOports are shorted to ground by spiral microstrip inductors on base unit and, spiral microstrip and SMTinductors on the handset.  These inductors provide a high impedance at both the RF and LO frequencieswhile presenting a very low impedance at the IF frequency.  The mixer is followed by an emitter followerwhich converts the high impedance output of the mixer to a 330 ohm output suitable for directly driving theIF ceramic filters.  The gain for the pair (mixer and follower) is about 4 dB (50 ohms in, 330 ohms out).3.2.3  RX VCO and LO BufferThe RX VCO is a Colpitt's type oscillator operating at about 450 MHz with a frequency selective networktuned to about 900 MHz on the collector.  The frequency of oscillation is controlled by a varactor diode inthe tank circuit connected to the base of the transistor.  This diode is connected to the loop voltage fromthe RX synthesizer.  Rough tuning is achieved with a variable chip cap.  This capacitor is used to center thetuning voltage to ensure reliable operation over a wide temperature range and also to compensate forvariances in component values.The 450 MHz LO for the PLL is coupled off of the emitter of the VCO transistor.  This is lightly coupled toensure that the VCO is not loaded by the PLL.  The 900 MHz RX LO signal for the Mixer is coupled off thecollector of the VCO transistor.

The Synthesizerreceives channel information from the embedded microprocessor in the AMD ASIC via the serial buss.  Italso requires a stable 18.25 MHz reference which is also supplied from the AMD ASIC.A passive loop filter is employed to connect the synthesizer to the VCO.  This tuning voltage may beobserved from test point RX_LOOP_V on the bottom side of the PCB.  The loop filter cutoff frequency isset to about 1 kHz to allow relatively fast power-up times.3.2.5  IF Amplifier StageThere is only one stage of discrete IF amplification.  Transistor Q8 on the base (Q5 on handset) is used asan amplifier with 330 ohms input and output impedance.  The rest of the IF gain is provided by the FMdemod IC discussed below.3.2.6 IF FilteringThe choice of 10.7 MHz as an IF frequency, allows the use of relatively inexpensive filters.  Two ceramicfilters are used to achieve the desired adjacent channel suppression.  Two different bandwidth filters areused, 230 kHz and 150 kHz, so that any shifting in the passband does not narrow the bandwidthexcessively.3.2.7  Mixer, IF Amplifier, FM Demodulator (Temic IC)The RF design uses an integrated solution that provides a number of different receiver functions on a singlesilicon chip. The Temic U2765B IC combines a, mixer down-converter, IF amplifier and FM demodulatoronto one device.3.2.7.1 Rx MixerThe function of the mixer is to combine the incoming signal with a LO signal in order to convert the desiredsignal to the 10.7 MHz intermediate frequency (IF).  The LO and RF signals are coupled onto pins 26 and3 respectively on the Temic IC. The mixer output is coupled off of the Temic IC by a 10.7 MHz transformerto a 10.7 MHz ceramic IF filter before it is injected into limiter 1 within the Temic IC.  The output of limiter 1is coupled off of the Temic IC into another 10.7 MHz ceramic IF filter.3.2.7.2  IF Amplifier StageThere is a two-stage limiting amplifier integrated with the Temic IC.  Both of the limiters require external10.7 MHz ceramic IF filters.3.2.7.3 DemodulatorThe quadrature circuit is made up one inductor, one resistor, and two capacitors.  One of the twocapacitors is a variable capacitor that allows tuning of the circuit.  The quadrature voltage may beobserved at the ATE test point connector.  This voltage should nominally be 1.2 V for both the base andhandset when a signal is centre tuned.The recovered audio signal from the demodulator has a peak-to-peak amplitude of approximately 0.31 V(for 50 kHz peak-to-peak modulation).  One path from the recovered audio port is filtered through a low-pass data filter and passed back into the baseband module.

Transistor Q1 amplifiesthe signal from the TX VCO. The output power is set such that we guarantee less then 50mV/meterradiated field strength measured at 3 meters.3.3.2 TX VCOThe basic operation of the TX VCO is the same as the RX VCO, except for one detail.  The TX VCO isalso FSK modulated by the transmit data through a second varactor in the tank (25kHz peak to peak).  Thedata is first filtered and then the amplitude is set via a precision resistor divider (R119/R120 on handsetand R27/R179 on base) to set the deviation of the data modulation.3.3.3 TX Synthesizer/PLLThe TX PLL is  combined into one IC with the RX PLL.  See above.  The loop filter cutoff frequency isabout 100 Hz.  This allows the data modulation to include frequencies down to about 100 Hz.  The power-up time of the TX PLL is not critical.
