3.4 LO GENERATION and DISTRIBUTION CIRCUIT

The integrated LO generation and distribution circuits are driven by internal VCOs to support various modes
to yield highly flexible quadrature LO outputs that drive all GSM/EDGE, UMTS band and GPS upconverters
and downconverters; with the help of these LO generation and distribution circuits, true zero-IF architecture
is employed in all GSM and UMTS band receivers and transmitters to translate the signal directly from RF-to-
baseband and from baseband-to-RF. Two fully functional fraction-N synthesizers, including VCOs and loop
filters, are integrated within the RTR6285 IC. In addition, the RTR6285 has a third synthesizer used for GPS
operation. The first synthesizer (PLL1) in the RTR6285 creates the transceiver Los that support the UMTS
transmitter, and all four GSM band receivers and transmitters including: GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, and
GSM1900. The second synthesizer (PLL2) in the RTR6285 IC provides the LO for the UMTS primary receiver. For
the RTR6285 IC only, the second synthesizer also provides the LO for the secondary UMTS receiver. The third
synthesizer (PLL3), only in the RTR6285 IC, provides the LO for the GPS receiver. An external TCXO input signal
is required to provide the synthesizer frequency reference to which the PLL is phase and frequency locked.
The RTR6285 ICs integrate most of the PLL loop filter components on-chip except for three off-chip loop
filter-series capacitors, which significantly reduces off-chip component requirement. With the integrated
fractional-N PLL synthesizers, the RTR6285 ICs have the advantage of more flexible loop bandwidth control,
fast lock time, and low-integrated phase error
