Description of RF ASICs

Jedi (N601)

In this dual-mode transmitter, the BB I and Q signal input buffer, modulator, IF VGA, up-
converter, RF VGA, and the PA driver will be integrated on a single IC called Jedi. This Tx 
IC, Jedi, includes VHF synthesizers with external tanks and the UHF PLL circuitry exclud-
ing VCOs. This Tx IC plus Cell and PCS band power amplifiers, SAW filters, power detec-
tors, isolators, and duplexers form the transmitter. Therefore, it is a highly integrated 
transmitter.
