Figure 25 Receiver part block diagram
The constant gain direct conversion receiver contains all active circuits for a complete receiver chain for
GSM/GPRS/EDGE (see Figure 25). The GSM850/900/DCS1800/ PCS1900 LNAs with balanced inputs are fully
integrated. No inter-stage filtering is needed. The orthogonal LO signals are generated by a divider-by-four for
GSM850/900 band and a divider-by-two for the DCS1800/PCS1900 band. Down conversion to baseband
domain is performed by low/high band quadrature direct down conversion mixers. The baseband chain
contains a LNB (low noise buffer), channel filter, output buffer and DC-offset compensation. The 3rd order low
pass filter is fully integrated and provides sufficient suppression of blocking signals as well as adjacent channel
interferers and avoids anti-aliasing through the baseband ADC. The receive path is fully differential to suppress
on-chip interferences. Several gain steps are implemented to cope with the dynamic range of the input signals.
Depending on the baseband ADC dynamic range, single- or multiple gain step switching schemes are
applicable. Furthermore an automatic DC-offset compensation can be used (depending on the gain setting) to
reduce the DC-offset at baseband-output. A programmable gain correction can be applied to correct for front
end- and receiver gain tolerances.
