– 5-1 –5.1. RF Overview5.1.1. RF Block Diagram5.1.2. Functional DescriptionThe dual-band receiver comprises mainly an RF transceiver IC and and Front-End module.The transceiver (U101) contains a direct conversion receiver with DC offset calibration circuitry and the following circuit blocks:8 EGSM900 and DCS1800 internal LNAs.8 EGSM900 and DCS1800 down-conversion mixers/demodulators.8 Channel filtering and base-band signal variable gain amplifiers with programmable gain control function.The Antenna Switch Module S101 is a dual-band antenna switch module. Two external SAW filters EL201 and FL202 forEGSM900 and DCS1800 are used to improve the isolation between 900MHz and 1800MHz.The impedance of these two filters' output is 150 Ω balanced.EGSM900/DCS1800The input receiving signals into the LNAs coming from the SAWs provide out-band reflection.However, the receiver is a direct conversion type, there is no need to concern about the image frequency blocking problem.Figure 5.1.
