CDMA2000 includes 1X RTT in the singlecarrier mode and 3X RTT in the multi-carrier mode. This paper describes the CDMA2000 1X RTT approach and its performance with Agilent 4x4 CDMA PAs, ACPM-7813. CDMA2000 1X RTT, being an extension of the IS-95 standard, has a chip rate of 1.2288Mchip/s. However, in 1xRTT, the reverse link transmits more than one code channel to accommodate the high data rates. The minimum configuration consists of a reverse pilot (R-Pilot) channel for synchronous detection by the Base Transceiver System (BTS) and a reverse fundamental channel (R-FCH) for voice. Additional channels such as the reverse supplemental channels (R-SCHs) and the reverse dedicated channel (R-DCCH) are used to send data or signaling information. Channels can exist at different rates and power levels. Table 1 shows the transmitter specification in CDMA2000 reverse link. Table 1. Transmitter Specification in Reverse Link.

The complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF) measurement characterizes the peak to average power statistics of CDMA2000 reverse link. For reference, the system specifications of peak to average power ratio of IS-95 and CDMA2000 IX RTT are 3.9 dB and 5.4 dB at 1% CCDF respectively. Higher peak to average power ratio requires a higher margin, both in higher power gain and in improved thermal stability for PA linearity to meet the minimum system specifications. The test results below for the ACPM-7813 show the compliance to the system linearity specifications with 4 channel configurations, representing a broad cross-section of CDMA2000 1X RTT environments.

Handset designers must balance maintaining adequate linearity while optimizing efficiency at high, medium and low output power levels. The primary method to achieve these goals is to adjust the bias of the PA as a function of output power. Theoretically, the best efficiency would be achieved when the bias of the PA is continually adjusted based on the output power requirement of the PA. However, implementing this type of circuit can be complex and costly. Therefore several different approaches have been developed to provide an acceptable tradeoff between optimum efficiency and optimum manufacturability. This application section reviews four methods of controlling the bias of a CDMA power amplifier: fixed, step, logical and dynamic. 1. Fixed Bias Control Using a fixed bias point on the PA is the traditional method, and it is the simplest. For example, a fixed control voltage of 2.5V is recommended when using Agilent’s Power Amplifier, 2.5V Vcntl for ACPM-7813. The Vcntl pin on the PA is controlled by PA_ON pin of the baseband IC. When PA_ON is HIGH, the output RF signal of the PA is enabled, enabling the subscriber unit to transmit the required data. The switch circuit also controls the on/off state of the PA. Below is an example of how to control the operation of the ACPM-7813 using the PA_ON and Vcntl pin of the PA. Power Mode Shut Down High Power PA_ON LOW HIGH Vcntl 0V 2.5V Power Range — ≤ 28.5 dBm Battery Vbias Vdd2 Vdd1 PA Vcntl To Duplexer TxIC Baseband IC Enable PA_ON Switch Circuit for PA Vcntl PMIC or LDO Note: PMIC: Power Management IC LDO: Low Drop Output (Regulator) 11 2. Step Bias Control and Dynamic Bias Control (if controled PDM1) The PDM1 output from the baseband IC can be used to create a software-programmable voltage, to be used at the phone designer’s discretion. To get high efficiency and better ACPR, the phone designers can change control voltage of the PA by adjusting PDM1 voltage according to output power of PA. A caution when using this approach — careful consideration must be made to to avoid an abrupt discontinuity in the output signal when the step bias control voltage is applied. The figure below is an example of how to control the PA for multiple bias points using the PA_ON and Vcntl pin. Power Mode Shut Down Low Power Mid Power High Power PA_ON LOW HIGH HIGH HIGH Vcntl 0V 1.2V 1.6V 2.5V Power Range — ~ -5 dBm -5 dBm ~ 13 dBm 13 dBm ~ 28.5 dBm Battery Vbias Vdd2 Vdd1 PA Vcntl To Duplexer TxIC Baseband IC Enable PA_ON R1 C1 PDM1 Switch Circuit for PA If PDM1 can be controlled then same circuit can be used for Dynamic bias control. 12 3. Dynamic Bias Control Alternate Implementation Phone designers can use TX_ADC_ADJ pin of the baseband IC to get dynamic bias control with Vcntl pin of PA. TX_ADC_ADJ is a PDM output pin produced by the TX AGC subsystem and used to control the gain of the Tx signal prior to the PA. The variable output levels from two inverting operational amplifiers, generated and compared by TX_ADC_ADJ, provide dynamic control voltages for the Vcntl of 1.0V ~ 2.7V with a 0.1V step.

The two OP Amps control the Vcntl voltage levels with compared and integrated circuits.

The ACPR measurement often is specified as the ratio of the power spectral density (PSD) of the CDMA main channel to the PSD measured at several offset frequencies. For the Cellular band (824 ~ 849 MHz transmitter channel), the two offsets are at ± 885 kHz and ± 1.98 MHz and the measurement resolution bandwidth specified is 30 kHz. These offsets are at ± 1.25 MHz and ± 1.98 MHz for the PCS band (1850 ~ 1910 MHz transmitter channel). 1.23 MHz 0 -10 -20 30 kHz -30 -40 -50 -60 -70 -80 2nd ACPR-L = 1.98 MHz 2nd ACPR-U = 1.98 MHz 30 kHz 1st ACPR-L 1st ACPR-U 30 kHz 30 kHz 2nd ACPR (dBc) 1st ACPR (dBc) Offset frequency FREQUENCY (MHz) Figure 18.

Example ACPR measurement using Spectrum Analyzer. The meaning of 16 dB The accurate ACPR measurement using Spectrum Analyzer needs to consider the normalization factor that is dependent on the Resolution Bandwidth, RBW, settings. The above figure (measurement shown at 836 MHz for general example) shows a comparison of the different ACPR measurement results as a function of various RBW values. As the RBW is reduced, less power is captured during the measurement and consequently the channel power is recorded as a smaller value. For example, if the main channel power is measured as 28 dBm in a 1.23 MHz bandwidth, its power spectral density is 28 dBm/1.23 MHz, which can be normalized to 11.87 dBm/ 30 kHz. The equation used to calculate the normalization factor of power spectral density is: Normalization Factor = 10log[Normalization BW/Current BW (Spectrum Analyzer RBW)] = 10log[1.23X106/30X103] = 16.13 dB Since the ACPR in an IS95 system is specified in a 1.23 MHz bandwidth, a channel power that is measured using a different RBW, can be normalized to reflect the channel power as if it was measured in a 1.23 MHz bandwidth. The difference in channel power measured in 30 kHz bandwidth and the channel power measured in a 1.23 MHz bandwidth is 16 dB. 16 ACPM-7813 Demoboard Operation Instructions 1) Module Description GND GND RF Out RFout GND GND Vdd2 2.2 µF Vdd2 4700 pF Vdd1 470 pF 2.2 µF Vdd1 Vbias 4700 pF Vcntl 470 pF GND RFin Vcntl RFin Vbias The ACPM-7813 is a fully matched Power Amplifier.

This ramp is maintained until it reaches 100°C where flux activation starts. Zone 2 – Soak Zone The flux is being activated here to prepare for even and smooth solder joint in subsequent zone. The temperature ramp is kept gradual to minimize thermal mismatch between solder, PC Board and components. Overramp rate here can cause solder splatter due to excessive oxidation of paste. Zone 3 – Reflow Zone The third process zone is the solder reflow zone. The temperature in this zone rises rapidly from 183°C to peak temperature of 235°C for the solder to trans- form its phase from solid to liquids. The dwell time at melting point 183°C shall maintain at between 60 to 150 seconds. Upon the duration of 10-20 seconds at peak temperature, it is then cooled down rapidly to allow the solder to freeze and form solid. Extended duration above the solder melting point can potentially damage temperature sensitive components and result in excessive inter-metallic growth that causes brittle solder joint, weak and unreliable connections. It can lead to unnecessary damage to the PC Board and discoloration to component’s leads. Zone 4 – Cooling Zone The temperature ramp down rate is 6°C/second maximum. It is important to control the cooling rate as fast as possible in order to achieve the smaller grain size for solder and increase fatigue resistance of solder joint. Solder Paste The recommended solder paste is type Sn6337A or Sn60Pb40A of J-STD-006. Note: Solder paste storage and shelf life shall be in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications. Stencil or Screen The solder paste may be deposited onto PCB by either screen printing, using a stencil or syringe dispensing. The recommended stencil thickness is in accordance to JESD22-B102-C. Nominal stencil thickness 0.102 mm (0.004 in) 0.152 mm (0.006 in) 0.203 mm (0.008 in) Component lead pitch Lead pitch less than 0.508 mm (0.020 in) 0.508 mm to 0.635 mm (0.02 in to 0.025 in) Lead pitch greater than 0.635 mm (0.025 in) www.agilent.com/semiconductors For product information and a complete list of distributors, please go to our web site.
