Figure 3-7-3. WCDMA Transceiver Architecture
A. Transmitter Part
The W-CDMA transmitter architecture is an on frequency linear direct up-conversion IQ-modulator.
The TX IQ modulator has differential voltage I and Q inputs. It converts input signals to RF output
frequency and is designed to achieve LO and image suppression. The in-phase and quadrature-
phase reconstruction filters are fully integrated and a programmable gain amplifier implements the
gain control. The transmit output stage provides at least +5 dBm at maximum power control at the
single-ended 50
Ω
output. Gain is set through the 3-wire bus. An external SAW filter between the
W-CDMA circuit and the power amplifier is used to improve noise performance. Two 10-bit DACs are
used to control the DC/DC converter and the PA gain. After the power amplifier, the signal is sent
through an isolator and through the duplex filter, which directs the transmit signal to the antenna
connector through the antenna switch. The supply voltage and bias of the power amplifier are
adapted depending on the output power to achieve high efficiency at every transmitter power level.
A high efficiency DC/DC converter regulates the supply voltage and the bias operation point is
controlled by a D/A-converter in the W-CDMA radio circuit.
These DACs are controlled through the 3-wire-bus
