3.17 Receiver part

The constant gain direct conversion receiver contains all active circuits for a complete receiver chain
for GSM/GPRS/EDGE (see Figure 39). The GSM850/900/DCS1800/ PCS1900 LNAs with balanced
inputs are fully integrated. No inter-stage filtering is needed. The orthogonal LO signals are generated
by a divider-by-four for GSM850/900 band and a divider-by-two for the DCS1800/PCS1900 band.
Down conversion to baseband domain is performed by low/high band quadrature direct down
conversion mixers. The baseband chain contains a LNB (low noise buffer), channel filter, output buffer
and DC-offset compensation.
The 3rd order low pass filter is fully integrated and provides sufficient suppression of blocking signals
as well as adjacent channel interferers and avoids anti-aliasing through the baseband ADC. The
receive path is fully differential to suppress on-chip interferences. Several gain steps are implemented
to cope with the dynamic range of the input signals. Depending on the baseband ADC dynamic range,
single- or multiple gain step switching schemes are applicable. Furthermore an automatic DC-offset
compensation can be used (depending on the gain setting) to reduce the DC-offset at baseband-
output. A programmable gain correction can be applied to correct for front end- and receiver gain
tolerances.
