The amplifier output drives the RF port of the quadrature RF-to-baseband downconverter.
The down-converted baseband outputs are routed to low-pass filters (one I and one Q) having pass-
band and stop-band characteristics suitable for DSWCDMA processing. The filter outputs are buffered
and passed on to the MSM6250 IC for further processing. This baseband interface is shared with the
RTR6250 GSM receiver outputs.
The RFR6250 IC includes LO generation and distribution circuitry to reduce offchip component
requirements. The GPS RX LO source is created using the PLL control elements of the RTR6250
PLL2, via a discrete loop filter components, in tandem with the VCO in the RFR6250. Using only this
PLL signal, the RFR6250 LO generation and distribution circuits create the necessary LO signals for
the UMTS quadrature down-converter. By definition, the ZIF down-converter requires FLO equal to
FRF, and the RTR6250/RFR6250 design achieves this without allowing FVCO to equal F
