Introduction
This chapter provides a detailed theory of operation for the radio RF circuits. Refer to the relevant
section of this manual for details of the operation of the Controller Circuits.

Lowband Transmitter
(Refer to Figure 2-1 and the Lowband Transmitter schematic diagram)
The Lowband transmitter consists of the following basic circuits :
I
Power amplifier (PA).
I
Antenna switch/harmonic filter.
I
Antenna matching network.
I
Power Control Integrated Circuit (PCIC).
2.1
Power Amplifier (PA)
The power amplifier (PA) consists of two LDMOS devices:
1.
PA driver IC, U101.
2.
PA final stage, Q100.
The LDMOS driver (U101) provides 2-stage amplification using a supply voltage of 7.3V. The
amplifier is capable of supplying an output power of 0.3W (pins 6 and 7) with an input signal of 2mW
at (pin16). The current drain is typically 120mA while operating in the frequency range of
29.7 - 50 MHz. The power output of this stage is varied by the power control loop which controls the
voltage on pin 1.
