Key Components 0f WCDMA Receiver
Why do we need Additional Filtering?
This SAW filter is to attenuate the Tx signal which is leaking through the duplex filter and amplified by the LNA
Why do we use duplexer instead of antenna switch?
This is because Tx and Rx are functioning in continuous mode in WCDMA
What is the use of AGC stage?
This stage is used to maintain the voltage swing at the AD converter in BB at an adequate level
Power Control Loop – GSM Transmitter
Power Detector Circuitry in PA gives a DC value proportional to the output power
DC level is feedback to the negative input of ERROR amplifier in VINKU
The DC level is then compare with the TXC reference signal
The output of the ERROR amplifier is then fed to a buffer amplifier which drive the VGA
Note: TXC is obtained from the
network for power level control
