3.1 RF Transceiver General Description

The RF parts consist of a transceiver part, a power amplifier part, a front-end module part, a voltage
supply part, and a VC-TCXO part.
The AeroII transceiver is composed of single RF chipset, Si4210-GM[U501] which is a quad-band
GSM/GPRS wireless communications.
This device integrated a receiver based on a low IF (200KHz) architecture and a transmitter based on
modulation loop architecture. The transceiver employed a 3 wire serial interface to allow an external
system controller to write the control registers for dividers, receive path gain, power down setting, and
other controls.

3.2 Receiver Part

The receiver part uses a low-IF receiver architecture that allows for the on-chip integration of the
channel selection filters, eliminating the external RF image reject filters and the IF SAW filter required
in conventional super-heterodyne architecture. The Si4210-GM[U501] integrates four differential input
LNAs that are matched to the 200 Ohm balanced-output SAW filters through external LC matching
networks. A quadrature image-rejection mixer downconverts the RF signal to a 200kHz intermediate
frequency (IF) with the RFLO from the frequency synthesizer. The mixer output is amplified with an
analog programmable gain amplifier (PGA) and quadrature IF signal is digitized with high resolution
A/D converters (ADCs).
The Si4210-GM[] downconverts the ADC output to baseband with a digital 200kHz quadrature LO
signal. Digital decimation and IIR filters perform digital filtering , and remove blocking and reference
interference signals. After filtering, the digital output is scaled with digital PGA, which is controlled with
the DGAIN[5:0] bits in register 20h. The amplified digital output signal go through with DACs that drive
a differential analog signal onto the RXIP,RXIN,RXQP and RXQN pins to interface to standard analog
ADC input baseband ICs.
