6.5 Transmitter
Transmitter: Modulator and Up-conversion Loop
The generation of the GMSK-modulated signal in Bright (
D903
) is based on the principle of
up conversion modulation phase locked loop. The incoming IQ-signals from the baseband
are mixed with the divided LO2-signal. The modulator is followed by a lowpass filter (corner
frequency ~80 MHz) which is necessary to attenuate RF harmonics generated by the
modulator. A similar filter is used in the feedback-path of the down conversion mixer.
With help of an offset PLL the IF-signal becomes the modulated signal at the final transmit
frequency. Therefore the GMSK modulated rf-signal at the output of the TX-VCOs is mixed
with the divided LO1-signal to a IF-signal and sent to the phase detector. The I/Q modulated
signal with a center frequency of the intermediate frequency is send to the phase detector as
well.
The output signal of the phase detector controls the TxVCO and is processed by a loop filter
whose components are external to the Bright. The TxVCO which is realized inside the Bright
chip generates the GSMK modulated frequency.
