3.2.2 ULRB
The ULRB is the integrated RF board that carries out the transceiver function, power
amplifier function, TDD switch function, filter function, and the Low Noise Amplifier
(LNA) function.
The main functions of ULRB are as follows:
High-power amplification of RF transmission signal
Interfacing with ULDB in digital baseband I/Q(LVTTL) signal
Upconversion/downconversion of frequency
Rx/Tx RF signal from/to an antenna
Suppression of out-of-band spurious wave emitted from RF Rx/Tx signal
Low noise amplification of band-pass filtered RF Rx signal
TDD switching function for RF Tx/Rx path
Automatic Gain Control(AGC) for the received RF signal and Received Signal
Strength Indicator(RSSI) support
