4.5 Transmitter
4.5.1 Transmitter: Modulator and Up-conversion Loop
The modulation is based on the principle of the “up-conversion modulation phase
locked loop” and is accomplished via the BRIGHT IC(D800). An internal TX IF-LO
provides the quadratic modulator with the TX IF frequency of 80/82 MHz by
generating 640/656MHz divided by 8. This so generated IF GMSK RF signal is
compared in a phase detector with the down mixed GMSK RF output from the TX-
VCO (Z150). To get the comparison signal, PCN_PA_IN (for GSM1800/GSM1900),
and GSM_PA_IN (for EGSM900) appearing at Pin 9/7 of the (D150) are mixed with
the LO1 signal (divided by 2 for GSM1800/GSM1900 and 4 for EGSM900). The output
(PLLOUT) signal of the phase detector passes a discrete loop filter realised by
capacitors and resistors to set the TXVCO to required frequency. The large loop band
width (~1,5MHz) guarantees that the regulating process is considerably quicker than
the changes in the modulation signal.
The required voltage VCC_SYN and VCC2_8 is provided by the ASIC D361
