3. Technical Brief
The amplifier outputs drive the RF ports of the quadrature RF-to-baseband downconverters. The
downconverted baseband outputs are multiplexed and routed to lowpass filters (one I and one Q) having
passband and stopband characteristics suitable for GMSK or 8-PSK processing. These filter circuits include
DC offset corrections. The filter outputs are buffered and passed on to the MSM7227 IC for further
processing as shown in Figure 1-4.
3.13.2 GSM TRANSMITTER
The RTR6285 transmitter outputs(HB_RF_OUT1 and LB_RF_OUT1) include on-chip output matching
inductors. 50ohm output impedance is achieved by adding a series capacitor at the output pins. The
capacitor value may be optimized for specific applications and PCB characteristics based on pass-band
symmetry about the band center frequency as shown in Figure 1-3.
The RTR6285 IC is able to support GSM 850/900 and GSM 1800/1900 mode transmitting. This design
guideline shows a tri-band GSM application. Both high-band and low band outputs are followed by
resistive pads to ensure that the load presented to the outputs remains close to 50ohm.
[Figure 1-3] GSM Transmitter Outputs Topologies
Since GSM-850, GSM-900, GSM-1800, and GSM-1900 signals are time-division duplex (the handset can
only receive or transmit at one time), switches are used to separate Rx and Tx signals in place of
frequency duplexers – this is accomplished in the switch module. The GSM-850, GSM-900, GSM-1800,
and GSM-1900 receive signals are routed to the RTR6285 through band selection filters and matching
networks that transform single-ended 50-

sources to differential impedances optimized for gain and
noise figure. The RTR input uses a differential configuration to improve second-order inter-modulation
and common mode rejection performance. The RTR6285 input stages include MSM-controlled gain
adjustments that maximize receiver dynamic range.
