WiMAX IF Transceiver
DESCRIPTION
The TRF2443 is a highly integrated full-duplex
intermediate frequency (IF) transceiver designed for
broadband point-to-point wireless communications
applications. The receiver chain integrates a
quadrature (IQ) demodulator and provides more than
90 dB of gain range, obtained via a combination of
analog- and digital-controlled VGAs. The integrated
programmable baseband low-pass filter gives the
TRF2443 the flexibility to receive signals with different
bandwidths, while also helping to remove interferer
signals before they reach the ADC. Additionally, the
TRF2443 gives the flexibility to add an external IF
filter to further remove unwanted signals. The
TRF2443 transmitter chain integrates a quadrature
(IQ) modulator driving a highly linear IF DVGA that
provides 35 dB of gain range controlled via a serial
programming interface (SPI). The TRF2443 includes
the two synthesizers for the receiver and transmitter
chains, removing the need for external LO generation
circuitry and simplifying the implementation of a
frequency-division duplexing (FDD) transceiver
design. The TRF2443 also provides crosspolarization interference cancellation (XPIC) support
via an integrated XPIC output amplifier and receiver
chain. The TRF2443 is an ideal building block for
implementing the IF transceiver function in the indoor
unit (IDU), which is connected via a coaxial cable
interface to the outdoor unit (ODU), of a point-to-point
microwave backhaul split-architecture system.

Figure 2. Receiver Chain Block Diagram
The TRF2443 features a highly linear low-noise receiver chain with over 60 dB of analog-controlled gain range
and more than 40 dB of gain range programmable via the serial programming interface (SPI) in 1-dB steps.
Moreover, the TRF2443 gives the flexibility to add an external IF filter to further remove unwanted signals. Such
an external filter can be bypassed using an internal path that can be enabled via SPI. The first block of the
receiver chain is a low-noise, highly linear IF amplifier (LNA). Its input is differential and internally matched to 50

Ω. The TRF2443 LNA attenuation is programmable from 0 dB to –19 dB, corresponding to an LNA gain of 17 dB
to –2 dB (1-dB steps). The LNA is followed by three analog-controlled VGAs that provide more than 60 dB of
gain range. The IFVGA1 output and IFVGA2 input can be connected externally (pins IFOUT and IFIN) through
an external IF filter. An internal switch gives the flexibility to bypass the external filter. The VGAs provide a gain
slope of 51 dB/V. The IFVGA3 drives the demodulator, which downconverts the IF input signal directly to
baseband in-phase and quadrature. The demodulator block includes the local oscillator in-phase and quadrature
generation circuitry followed by the LO buffer. The TRF2443 baseband section integrates a programmable-gain
amplifier (PGA) and programmable low-pass filter. The baseband PGA minimum gain is 9 dB, and the maximum
gain is 33 dB. The TRF2443 baseband low-pass filter cutoff frequency can be programmed from 2 MHz to 11
MHz by setting the cutoff-frequency control bits appropriately. The baseband output buffers (ADC drivers) are
designed to drive directly an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), either dc- or ac-coupled. The output common
mode of the ADC drivers is set externally via the RXBBCM pin (pin 40). When the TRF2443 is dc-connected to
the ADC, the same dc common mode can be used for both the ADC and the TRF2443 baseband output.

Figure 3. Transmitter Chain Block Diagram
The transmitter chain integrates an IQ modulator followed by a variable attenuator and the final transmitter
amplification stage. The last two blocks provide over 35 dB of gain range. A power-alarm circuit monitors the
level at the modulator output, and its digital output goes low if the signal level falls below the user-specified
threshold level relative to the expected level. The first block of the transmitter chain is the IQ modulator, which
upconverts the incoming in-phase and quadrature signals to the TX IF frequency. The TRF2443 can be either acor dc-coupled to the digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The IQ modulator drives a variable attenuator. This block
provides 5.5 dB of total attenuation range in 0.5-dB steps. The output amplifier integrates five attenuation steps
of 6 dB each for total of 30 dB. The output amplifier in combination with the variable attenuator provides over
35.5 dB of monotonic output power control (0.5-dB steps).
SYNTHESIZERS DESCRIPTION
TRF2443 integrates two complete integer synthesizers for the receiver and transmitter chain. The RXVCO
operates at 16 times the typical RX input frequency, and the TXVCO operates at 8 times the typical TX output
frequency.
Each synthesizer is composed of:
• High-frequency VCO (around 2720 MHz for the TX VCO and 2240 MHz for the RX VCO)
• N-divider (driven by the high-frequency VCO) done by an 8/9 prescaler followed by an A-B counter that drives
the phase-frequency detector
• Phase-frequency detector (PFD) (driven by the N-divider) that compares the VCO divided by N to the
reference clock divided by R signals
• Charge pump (driven by the PFD) which creates up and down current pulses, based on the incoming signals
from the PFD. Its output is filtered and transformed to voltage by the external loop filter and applied to the
VCO input control voltage.
• An external reference clock must be applied to the REFIN (pin 16). The incoming signal is buffered and goes
through a programmable divider (R-divider).

The VCO output is then routed through a programmable divider by 8 or 16 to create the TX and RX LO signals.
The TRF2443 features a lock-detect output pin (LOCKDET, pin 5). This is a digital output that is high when both
RX and TX synthesizers are locked, and it is low if one or both synthesizers are unlocked (or lose lock).
XPIC DESCRIPTION
The TRF2443 provides cross-polarization interference cancellation (XPIC) support via an integrated XPIC output
amplifier and receiver chain. The XPIC output amplifier transmits the signal taken at the receiver demodulator
input. The XPIC receiver section downconverts the input signal to baseband I and Q. It includes an IF VGA
followed by a demodulator and a baseband amplifier.

Measured after the transformer (0.7-dB insertion loss) and with a TXBBI (or TXBBQ) input level of –23 dBVrms
No signal applied to TRF2443. This parameter is assured by characterization and is not production tested.
Two tones of –26 dBVrms each at TXBBI and TXBBQ inputs at 5 MHz and 8 MHz; measured at transformer output (0.7-dB insertion
loss).
(4) Using internal common and dc offset control
(5) TXIQ_PHASE set to 8; SPI-3, register 1, B
(6) See the TX Output Power Ramp-Down section.
(7) Attenuation of output level from TX on.
(8) Common mode input is set internally. It is possible to disable internal bias through SPI and apply external common mode.
(9) Single-ended, measured at transformer output
(10) Delta output power level at TX fixed gain that forces detector output low (power alarm).
(11) Detector threshold and response time are fully programmable by the user. (See the Power Alarm Detector section.)
(12) If output power is lower than threshold for more than user-specified value, power-alarm detector output goes low.

SLWS217B – SEPTEMBER 2009 – REVISED MARCH 2012
SPI REGISTERS
The TRF2443 features a three-wire serial programming interface (SPI) that controls an internal 32-bit shift
register. There are a total of three signals that must be applied: the clock (CLKSPI), the serial data (DATASPI)
and the latch enable (LESPI). The TRF2443 has an additional pin (RDBKSPI) for readback functionality. This pin
is a digital pin and can be used to read back values of different internal registers.
The DATA (DB0–DB31) is loaded LSB-first and is read on the rising edge of the CLOCK. The latch enable is
asynchronous to the CLOCK, and at its rising edge the data in the shift register is loaded onto the selected
internal register. The 5 LSBs of the data field are the address bits to select the available internal registers (see
Figure 99).
The SPI can operate reliably at clock speeds up to 20 MHz (clock period = td

TX OUTPUT POWER RAMP-DOWN
To avoid unwanted spurious emissions during power down of the transmitter, the power-down circuitry is
designed to ramp down the output power gradually. The ramp-down time constant is programmable.
PS_TC (SPI-3, register 3, B) allows selection of four different time constants.

The values shown in the preceding table are the typical times required for the output level to be attenuated
by 30 dB.
LOOPBACK
The TRF2443 integrates a loopback switch between the TX and the RX chains. The switch connects the TX
modulator output to the RX IFVGA3 input. This path can be used for three different functions:
• Loopback path for the transmitted signal
• RX baseband low-pass-filter corner-frequency calibration
• TX modulator LO leakage calibration
The loopback mode is enabled by setting EN_LB (SPI-3, register 1, B) to 1. When the switch is activated,
the TX amplifier, RX LNA, RX IFVGA1, and RX IFVGA2 are all turned off automatically.
The loopback path can be programmed with two different insertion losses:
• 20-dB insertion loss for the loopback path of the transmitted signal
• Minimum insertion loss for calibration mode
The attenuation mode is selected via EN_LB_ATT (SPI-3, register 1, B).
EN_LB_ATT = 1 → 20-dB attenuation
EN_LB_ATT = 0 → minimum insertion loss
TX Signal Loopback
The TRF2443 internal feedback path can be used to loop back the TX signal (1), which enables the RX chain to
be used to monitor the transmitted signal. This mode is controlled via the serial programming interface (SPI)
according the following possible steps:
1. Enable loopback switch with 20-dB attenuation
(a) EN_LB_ATT = 1 (SPI-3, register 1, B)
(b) EN_LB = 1 (SPI-3, register 1, B)
2. Program TXLO to 165 MHz (TXLO to 2640 MHz and TX divider to 16)
(a) TXRDIV = (SPI-1, register 1, B) [R = 1]
(b) TX_NINT = (SPI-1, register 2, B) [N = 66]
(c) TXDIV_SEL = 0 (SPI-1, register 2, B) [LO divider set to 16]
3. Program RXLO to 165 MHz (RXLO to 2640 MHz and RX divider to 16)
(a) RXRDIV = (SPI-2, register 1, B) [R = 1]
(b) RX_NINT = (SPI-2, register 2, B) [N = 132]
(c) RXDIV_SEL = 0 (SPI-2, register 2, B) [LO divider set to 16]
4. Set receiver baseband gain to 10 dB
(a) RXBB_GAIN = (SPI-3, register 2, B)
5. Program the receiver baseband-filter cutoff frequency to the appropriate value (depending on the TX signal
bandwidth).

For a TX loopback frequency of 165 MHz, the PLLs are locked to a 20-MHz PFD frequency.

Baseband-Filter Cutoff-Frequency Calibration
The TRF2443 internal feedback path can be used to set up an automatic calibration of the RX baseband-filter
cutoff frequency. The procedure to calibrate the corner frequency to 3 MHz is described as follows.
1. Enable loopback switch with minimum insertion loss.
(a) EN_LB_ATT = 0 (SPI-3, register 1, B)
(b) EN_LB = 1 (SPI-3, register 1, B)
2. Program RXLO to 165 MHz (RXLO to 2640 MHz and RX divider to 16).
(a) RXRDIV = (SPI-2, register 1, B) [R = 1]
(b) RX_NINT = (SPI-2, register 2, B) [N = 132]
(c) RXDIV_SEL = 0 (SPI-2, register 2, B) [LO divider set to 16]
3. Set TXVCO divider to 16.
(a) TXDIV_SEL = 0 (SPI-1, register 2, B) [LO divider set to 16]
4. Set the TXPLL PFD frequency to 4 MHz (R divider = 5).
(a) TXRDIV = (SPI-1, register 1, B) [R = 5]
5. Apply a dc offset at the TRF2443 TX baseband inputs (to increase the TXLO leakage at the modulator
output).
6. Set the RX baseband amplifier gain to 22 dB.
(a) RXBB_GAIN = (SPI-3, register 2, B)
7. Set the RX baseband cutoff-frequency bit controls RXBB_FREQ = 011 1000 (typical value for fC = 3
MHz)
8. Program the TXLO frequency to 166 MHz (TXVCO = 2656 MHz).
(a) TX_NINT = (SPI-1, register 2, B) [N = 332]
9. Measure the RX baseband output-power level (at I or Q output): Pout1.
10. Program the TXLO frequency to 168 MHz (TXVCO = 2688 MHz).
(a) TX_NINT = (SPI-1, register 2, B) [N = 336]
11. Measure the RX baseband output power level (Pout2) and calculate attenuation: Att = Pout1 – Pout2.
12. If Att < 3 dB, then increase RXBB_FREQ and go back to 11); else if Att > 3 dB, then reduce RXBB_FREQ
and go back to 11). This is repeated until two sequential iterations result in the calculated attenuation being
above and below 3 dB. When this is observed, save the RXBB_FREQ value which results in an attenuation
value closer to 3 dB.
The TRF2443 baseband low-pass filter cutoff frequency can be programmed to any of 128 cutoff frequencies.
The cutoff frequency control consists of 7 bits, RXBB_FREQ, which are located in SPI-3, register 2,
B. RXBB_FREQ = corresponds to the minimum corner frequency. Figure 108 shows
the 3-dB bandwidth of the filter versus all possible SPI codes for a typical unit. Figure 109 shows the inverse of
the 3-dB bandwidth versus all possible SPI codes for a typical unit.

Because the corner frequency is dependent on the on-chip capacitance, it is possible to observe variations from
unit to unit in the SPI code that yields a fixed corner frequency. Variations in capacitance from unit to unit result
in a unique 1/BW curve for each unit. If the same DUT is to be used at multiple corner frequencies, the user
should calibrate the DUT as described above to determine, at a minimum, 2 points on the 1/BW curve. From
these calibrated points, any other corner frequency can be extrapolated using linear regression.
TX LO Leakage Calibration
The TRF2443 internal feedback path can be used to set up an automatic calibration of the TX LO leakage
according the following potential procedure:
1. Enable loopback switch with minimum insertion loss.
(a) EN_LB_ATT = 0 (SPI-3, register 1, B)
(b) EN_LB = 1 (SPI-3, register 1, B)
2. Set RXLO = 330 MHz (RXVCO to 2640 MHz and RX divider to 8)
(a) RXRDIV = (SPI-2, register 1, B) [R = 1]
(b) RX_NINT = (SPI-2, register 2, B) [N = 132]
(c) RXDIV_SEL = 1 (SPI-2, register 2, B) [LO divider set to 8]
3. Set RX baseband in filter bypass mode and gain = 22 dB
(a) RXBB_GAIN = (SPI-3, register 2, B) [gain = 22 dB]
(b) RXBB_FLT_BYP = 1 (SPI-3, register 2, B) [bypass filter]
4. Program TX LO in normal mode (TXLO = 340 MHz).
(a) TXRDIV = (SPI-1, register 1, B) [R = 1]
(b) TX_NINT = (SPI-1, register 2, B) [N = 68]
(c) TXDIV_SEL = 1 (SPI-1, register 2, B) [LO divider set to 8]
5. Measure power level at RXBB output at 10 MHz = P1.
6. Change TX input dc offset until minimum P1 is achieved.
The TRF2443 TX baseband inputs can be ac- or dc-coupled to the external digital-to-analog converter (DAC). In
case of direct coupling, the DAC must provide the appropriate dc offset of step 6 to null the LO leakage. If an accoupled approach is selected, then the internal bias must be enabled by setting EN_TXCM = 1 (SPI-3, register 3,
B). In this case, the integrated dc DAC controls the baseband dc offset. The internal DAC is programmed
via the SPI. TXBBI (SPI-3, register 3, B) and TXBBQ (SPI-3, register 3, B) control
the internal DAC settings.
TXBBI = TXBBQ = corresponds to midrange, that is, no offset applied.
RX IMAGE REJECTION
The TRF2443 has been designed to provide optimal image rejection. Using symmetry in the design of the I and
Q paths of the receiver ensures that mismatch between the I and Q paths is minimized. Image rejection is a
function of the amplitude (A) mismatch and the phase error (Φ) from 90 degrees of the I and Q RX baseband
signals. Image rejection is calculated in the following manner:
é A 2 - 2Acosf + 1ù
Rejection(dB) = 10log ê 2
ú
êë A + 2Acosf + 1úû
DC-OFFSET CALIBRATION
The TRF2443 provides an automatic calibration procedure for adjusting the dc offset in the receiver and XPIC
baseband I/Q paths. The internal calibration requires a clock in order to function. This clock is derived internally
from the reference clock with a frequency divider, whose divider ratio is programmable. DCOFF_CLK (SPI3, register 5, B) and XDCOFF_CLK (SPI-3, register 5, B) set the division ratio for the dcoffset correction-loop clock for the receiver and XPIC chains, respectively.
The output full-scale range of the internal dc-offset-correction DAC is programmable using bits
DCOFF_BIAS (SPI-3, register 5, B) for the receiver chain and XPICDCOFF_BIAS (SPI-3,
register 5, B) for the XPIC chain. The range is shown in Table 11.

The I- and Q-channel output maximum dc-offset correction range can be calculated by multiplying the values in
Table 11 by the baseband PGA gain. The LSB of the digital correction is dependent on the programmed
maximum correction range. The dc offset correction DAC output is affected by a change in the PGA gain, but if
the initial calibration yields optimum results, then the adjustment of the PGA gain during normal operation does
not significantly impair the dc offset balance.
The dc offset correction DACs are programmed from the internal registers when the RXBB_CALSELECT bit
(SPI-3, register 7, B) is set to 1 (default value at power on). At start-up, the internal registers are loaded at
half-scale, corresponding to a decimal value of 128. The autocalibration for the receiver chain is initiated by
setting the EN_BB_AUTOCAL bit (SPI-3, register 5, B) to 1. When the calibration is over, this bit is
automatically reset to 0. Similarly for the XPIC, by programming EN_XPIC_AUTOCAL (SPI-3, register 5, B)
to 1, the baseband dc-offset calibration starts. During calibration, the RX local oscillator must be on. At each
clock cycle during an autocalibration sequence, the internal circuitry senses the output dc offset and calculates
the new dc current for the DAC. After the 13th clock cycle, the calibration is complete and the EN_BB_AUTOCAL
(or EN_XPIC_AUTOCAL) bit is reset to 0. The dc-offset DAC state is stored in the internal registers and
maintained as long as the power supply is kept on or until a new calibration is started.
The required clock speed for the optimum calibration is determined by the internal detector behavior (integration
bandwidth, gain, sensitivity). The speed of the clock can be slowed down by selecting a clock divider ratio
DCOFF_CLK (SPI-3, register 5, B) and/or XDCOFF_CLK (SPI-3, register 5, B). The
detector has more averaging time the slower the clock; hence, it can be desirable to slow down the clock speed
for a given condition to achieve optimum results.
The internal registers controlling the internal dc current DAC for the receiver chain are accessible through the
SPI (SPI-3, register 7, B), providing a user-programmable method for implementing the dc-offset
calibration. To employ this option, the RXBB_CALSELECT (SPI-3, register 7, B) bit must be set to 0. During
this calibration, an external instrument monitors the output dc offset between the I/Q differential outputs and
programs the internal registers RXBBI_DCOFF (SPI-3, register 7, B
