Antenna
EB-A100 uses Helical-type antenna, which is most low-cost, monopole-like antenna. The antenna takes different spacing to
define bands of GSM, DCS and PCS.
RF circuit design is built based on SKYWORKS-74963 direction conversion transceiver IC integrated by SAW filters, power
amplifier with control circuit, and Transmitter/receiver switch.
RF LO always requires external frequency sources with VCTCXO. And LO frequency is periodically re-tuning to synchronize
with cell or network.
