OVERVIEW: iDEN Digital Modulation Technology Chapter 1 iDEN SYSTEM OVERVIEW iDEN Digital Modulation Technology The Integrated Digital Enhanced Network or iDEN of the i425/i290 operates in multiple modes: phone, private, data, and group; and uses two digital modulation technologies: Quad QAM, and Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA). Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) is a modulation technique that transmits information by altering the amplitude and phase of the radio frequency (RF) signal.
Page 18
OVERVIEW: iDEN Digital Modulation Technology Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) is used to allocate portions of the RF signal by dividing time into 6 slots, one for each unit. Time allocation enables each unit to transmit its voice information without interference from another unit’s transmission.
OVERVIEW: iDEN Digital Modulation Technology iDEN Voice Compression Technology Voice is converted into a digital bit stream by sampling the voice signal at a high rate and converting the samples into numbers, which are represented by bits. A sample consists of 8 bits. Approximately 8000 samples per second (64 Kbps) are required to maintain a reasonable quality.
OVERVIEW: iDEN Digital Modulation Technology iDEN Power Management The Roadrunner IC is a 223 I/O MAP BGA integrated circuit (IC) and provides the following DC distribution for the i425: • V1 – 1.55 VDC. The V1_LDO is intended to power the external FLASH and SDRAM memories in a Zeus-based platform, and the INDY core itself in a low tier platform.
OVERVIEW: iDEN Digital Modulation Technolo he Roadrunner IC is designed to support the needs of po rtable iDEN cellular telephone products. It rovides the necessary control and regulator functions. The following functions are provided: • Turn on control signals to pro perly activate the unit •...
OVERVIEW: iDEN Digital Modulation Techn ology 1.4.1 Patriot Processor he Patriot Dual-Core Baseband Processor (U802) integrates a reduced instruction-set computer ISC) microprocessor unit (MCU) and a general-purpose DSP on a single chip (See Figure 5) Figure 5: Patriot Functional Block Diagram 6880401P26-O...
OVERVIEW: iDEN Digital Modulation Technology The following summarizes the key PATRIOT features: • RISC integer processor capable of running at 52 MHz at Vco re of 1.55 V DC, a 32-bit RISC architecture, high performance and high code density • ONYX 56600 DSP core running up to 133 MHz at Vcore of 1.55 VDC •...
OVERVIEW: iDEN Digital Modulation Technology 1.4.4 PATRIOT Digital Signal Processor The P T A RIOT SPS 56600 digital signal processor contains the DSP Engine S_ONYXU, which is capable of executing an instruction on every clock cycle. The DSP56600 consists of the following: •...
OVERVIEW: iDEN Digital Modulation Technology iDEN Transceiver Architecture he i425/i290 radio is capable of iDE N 800 MHz and 900 MHz operation. The block diagram of e transceiver is shown in Figure 6. Figure 2 iDEN Transceiver Block Diagram he RX and TX front end consisting of the RF switches, SAW filters, LNA, RX balun, TX output stage (including the TX balum, power amplifier, low-pass filter, and antenna swi tch).
OVERVIEW: iDEN Digital Modulation Technology iDEN TX Path The iDEN TX lineup consists of the Patriot/Bravo processor, Roadrunner for baseband D/A onversion, SledgeHammer IC for analog baseband to RF, and JANUS IC providing PA mplification for transmission.

OVERVIEW: iDEN Digital Modulation Technology 1.6.1 ROADRUNNER ROADRUNNER IC includes th e following blocks: RX Blocks: • ADC and Digital Filtering X Blocks: • Digital interface The transmitter receives inputs from the SSI. The SSI has a sin gle data line.
OVERVIEW: iDEN Digital Modulation Technology .6.3 BALUN he differential RF signal is converted to a traditional single-ended (unbalanced) signal through e balance/unbalance circuitry. The balun is implemented using multilayer ceramic technolog .6.4 RF Power Amplifier Module The signal is then routed to the RF PA. The RF PA will be enabled when the ASW line goes low The PA gain can be adjusted by the PA_BIAS_DAC from Roadrunner ADC.
OVERVIEW: iDEN Digital Modulation Technology .6.5 Cartesian Feedback The iDEN transmitters require a highly linear PA with wide dynamic range. Linear PAs are highly inefficient, so a Class AB PA is used for better efficiency and longer battery life. The Class AB PA is fairly linear, but can cause splatter in the RF spectrum around the transmitted frequency band.
Page 30
OVERVIEW: iDEN Digital Modulation Technology The Javelin level set circuit topology was modified slightly for Sledgehammer. The modification removed itches used to select the I-channel training waveform to the Q-channel V-I input. The current level-set circuitry contains a programmable gain V-I on the I channel for boosting the reference signal level durin level training.
OVERVIEW: iDEN Digital Modulation Technology iDEN Receiver Path he receiver is a direct conversion receiver. It operates in the commercial portion of the nd-mobile receiver band (851-870MHz and 935-940). It also operates in the ISM band 02-928MHz) using the MOTOTALK protocol. Figure 10 iDEN Receiver Path The receiver takes an incoming RF signal, down-converts it to baseband where it is amplified, filtered, digitized and then provided to...
OVERVIEW: iDEN Digital Modulation Technology 1.7.3 Roadrunner IC (RX Path) The Roadrunner IC performs the digital conversion, digital filtering, and the AGC control of the dio. The main function of the IC, from an RX perspective is the A/D conversion performed by the Sigma Delta converter.
OVERVIEW: iDEN Digital Modulation Technolo Reference Oscillator The 33.6 MHz referen ce is sourced to Sledgehammer to serve as a stable and accurate 33.6 MHz reference frequency for the internal synthesizers. This 33. 6 MHz reference signal is additionally routed ROADRUNNER IC and is frequency divided down to a 4.2 MHz to serve as a reference for JANUS (TCLK).
Page 34
OVERVIEW: iDEN Digital Modulation Technology The asynchronous nature of MOTOtalk requires a constant scan of frequencies for an indication (known as preamble) of an upcoming transmission. Frequency scanning is further complicated by frequency hopping of the spread spectrum operation. Frequency hopping spread spectrum is used to provide both interference avoidance, and a powerful combination of time and frequency diversity.
Page 35
OVERVIEW: iDEN Digital Modulation Technolog The 902 - 928 MHz band is broken up into 10 hop-sets of 50 carriers, each separated by 50 kHz for a sub-total of (500 carriers x 50 kHz) = 25 MHz, plus two 500 kHz guard bands yielding a to f 26 MHz.
