OVERVIEW: Transmitter Path Section 
1.7  Transmitter Path Section 
This section includes the following lineup Roadrunner (baseband D/A conversion), 
SledgeHammer (Analog baseband to RF), and JANUS (TX RF back end: power amplifier, 
etc) for linear modulation of the iDEN portables. When the unit is transmitting, 
microphone audio is routed to the CODEC, where it is amplified and digitized by the A/D 
converter in the CODEC. Digital voice is then sent from the CODEC to the DSP for 
processing. (See i897 Block Diagram Figure 1-10 Below).
