GENERAL DESCRIPTION
UAA2077BM contains both a receiver front-end and a high
frequency transmit mixer intended to be used in mobile
telephones. Designed in an advanced BiCMOS process it
combines high performance with low power consumption
and a high degree of integration, thus reducing external
component costs and total front-end size.
The main advantage of the UAA2077BM is its ability to
provide over 25 dB of image rejection. Consequently, the
image filter between the LNA and the mixer is suppressed.
Image rejection is achieved in the internal architecture by
two RF mixers in quadrature and two all-pass filters in
I and Q IF channels that phase shift the IF by 45° and 135°
respectively. The two phase shifted IFs are recombined
and buffered to furnish the IF output signal.
For instance, signals presented at the RF input at the
LO + IF frequency are rejected through this signal
processing while signals at the LO − IF frequency can form
the IF signal. An internal switch enables the upper or lower
image frequency to be rejected.
The receiver section consists of a low-noise amplifier that
drives a quadrature mixer pair. The IF amplifier has
on-chip 45° and 135° phase shifting and a combining
network for image rejection. The IF driver has differential
open-collector type outputs.
The LO part consists of an internal all-pass type phase
shifter to provide quadrature LO signals to the receive
mixers. The centre frequency of the phase shifter is
adjustable for maximum image rejection in a given band.
The all-pass filters outputs are buffered before being fed to
the receive mixers.
The transmit section consists of a low-noise amplifier and
a down-conversion mixer. In the transmit mode an internal
LO buffer is used to drive the transmit IF down-conversion
mixer.
All RF and IF inputs or outputs are balanced.
Pins RXON, TXON and SXON enable a selection to be
made of whether to reject the upper or lower image
frequency and control of the different power-down modes.
Special care has been taken for fast power-up switching.
