3.2 GSM Mode
3.2.1 GSM Receiver
The Dual-mode CU920/CU915’s receiver functions are split between the three RFICs as follows:
■ UMTS-850, UMTS-1900 operation uses the RFR6275 receiver ICs to implement the receive signal
path, accepting an RF input and delivering analog baseband outputs (I and Q).
■ GSM-850, GSM-900, DCS-1800, and PCS-1900 modes use the RTR6275 IC only. Each mode has
independent front-end circuits and down-converters, but they share common baseband circuits (with
only one mode active at a time). All receiver control functions are beginning with SBI[2]-controlled
parameters.
RF Front end consists of antenna, antenna switch module(LMSP4LMA-573TEM) which includes four
RX saw filters(GSM850, GSM900, GSM900, DCS and PCS). The antenna switch module allows
multiple operating bands and modes to share the same antenna. In CU920/CU915, a common
antenna connects to one of six paths: 1) UMTS-850 Rx/Tx, 2) UMTS-1900 Rx/Tx, 3) GSM-850 Rx, 4)
GSM-900 Rx, 5) GSM- 850/900 Tx(lo band Tx’s share the same path), 6) DCS-1800 Rx, and 7) DCS-
1800, PCS-1900 Tx(High Band Tx’s share the same path), 8) PCS-1900 Rx. UMTS operation requires
simultaneous reception and transmission, so the UMTS Rx/Tx connection is routed to a duplexer that
separates receive and transmit signals. GSM850/900, DCS, and PCS operation is time division
duplexed, so only the receiver or transmitter is active at any time and a frequency duplexer is not
required.

ANENNA SWITCH MODULE LOGIC
Table. 3.2.1 Antenna Switch Module Control logic
[2] The RFIC operating modes and circuit parameters are MSM-controlled through the proprietary 3-line Serial Bus Interface (SBI). The Application
Programming Interface (API) is used to implement SBI commands. The API is documented in AMSS Software - please see applicable AMSS
Software documentation for details.
