Product Description
The RF2722 is a highly-integrated receiver IC supporting GSM, GPRS, and EDGE cellular standards in the GSM850, EGSM, DCS, and PCS bands. The RF2722 supports both very-low intermediate frequency (VLIF) as well as direct conversion receive (DCR) architectures, reducing external component count and eliminating the need for IF SAW and RF interstage filters without compromising performance. The IC includes: four LNA’s for multi-band support; an integrated voltage controlled oscillator (VCO); automatic gain control (AGC); a quadrature downconverting mixer; and, low and high band transmit buffers. Chip functionality, including IF AGC setting, is controlled through a three-wire serial data interface (SDI). The RF2722 is part of the POLARISTM TOTAL RADIOTM solution.

Application Information
Functional Description The RF2722 receiver IC will support GSM and EDGE cellular standards.
RF2722
Four Low Noise Amplifiers (LNA’s) are provided to accommodate various combinations of up to four bands. The four LNA’s share a common quadrature mixer. The active LNA is selected and may be bypassed through the Serial Data Interface (SDI). An RX Local Oscillator (VCO) is provided. The VCO is fully integrated including an internal resonator and is band-selectable to cover the GSM850, EGSM, DCS, and PCS bands. The desired signal is converted to either a VLIF (100kHz/120kHz) or directly to DC, as determined by the setting of bit 1 in SDI register CF. Once downconverted, the signal is filtered by an active RC Polyphase bandpass filter. The purpose of this filter is to provide some rejection to interfering signals such that the dynamic range of the A/D converters will not be compromised. The RF2722 also includes two reverse isolation dual-band buffer amplifiers. These buffers are suitable for use in the transmit path between the VCO output and the PA input to improve transmit performance. The RF2722 accepts single-ended inputs from the RF6001/3 and provides single-ended outputs to the PA. DC Correction Operation The Polaris RF2722 VLIF/DCR IC will reduce the residual DC error of the I and Q channels to less than 20mV within 20usec assuming that no input signal is present during the DC adapt time. The DC correction system will activate on the rising edge of RX_EN if the SDI bit DC_EN is programmed true. Programming the SDI bit DC_ST true can also activate the DC correction system. In this case the SDI bit DC_ST will automatically return to a false state once the DC correction system is activated. The RF6001/3 also has an RX_EN pin that normally is set high at the same time as the RX_EN of the RF2722. The DC correction system of the RF2722 will run for DC_TIME1 cycles of the clock present on CLK_IN divided by 16. This should be set for approximately 20usec. With a 26MHz clock on CLK_IN the setting of DC_TIME1 will be 20H. Given the low levels of LO leakage to the LNA inputs of the RF2722, the coarse DC adapt will be performed when RX_EN rises with the LNAs disabled. The residual DC error due to LO leakage when the LNAs are enabled will be less than 5mV. Once completed the DC correction outputs of the RF2722 will be held until power is removed from the IC or until another DC correction command is issued. During operation of the DC correction system the input signal should be muted so that the coarse DC correction system does not attempt to lock to the instantaneous signal level. This can be accomplished by disabling all LNAs. This mode is selected if the LND SDI bit is programmed true. This is performed for DC_TIME2 clock cycles of CLK_IN divided by 16 beginning at the DC correction command time so that the RF2722 will have sufficient time to complete DC correction. If the radio employs a T/R switch then the T/R switch can also be used to disable the signal instead of or in addition to disabling the LNAs. The RF2722 can be used to automatically disable the T/R switch if the SDI bit TRD is programmed true. In this case it is assumed that GPO1 and GPO2 provide on/off control for each of the possible bands of the receive side of the T/R switch. During the DC control time interval set by DC_TIME2 the outputs of GPO1 and GPO2 will be overridden by the SDI register TRDC. The bits of this register can be set to 0 or 1 as needed by the particular T/R switch implementation to deactivate the receiver inputs. After DC_TIME2 has expired the normally programmed GPO states will return. After the coarse DC adapt time has elapsed then the RF6001/3 will require an additional time of approximately 50usec to complete the fine digital DC correction.
Note that the input signal may be present during the final DC correction time of the RF6001/3. For VLIF modes this will not cause a DC problem since the RF6001/3 does an averaging of the DC error and there will be few components of the signal

near DC. In addition, the RF6001/3 will notch out 100kHz converted DC components for channel bandwidths less than or equal to 85kHz. The RF6003 will also notch out 120kHz converted DC components for channel bandwidth of 90kHz. This is only useful in VLIF mode. In DCR mode there may be significant spectral content near DC during the final adapt of the RF6001/3. This may result in a significant DC component that will track the input desired signal level. It is assumed that the baseband DSP will be able to remove any such static DC error. In addition, if the DC adapt of the RF6001/3 is performed during the guard times then the spectral content of the input signal should be a tone in the region of 50kHz to 70kHz and should not interfere with the DC adapt process. If DC_TIME2 is extended to encompass the fine DC adapt time of the RF6001/3 then the input signal will not interfere with the adapt process as the LNAs will be muted. However, if there is any residual LO leakage into the LNA input then this error will remain after the DC correction process. This may be a smaller residual error than that due to the input signals. A diagram depicting the composite DC correction and RX startup of the RF2722 and RF6001/3 is presented below.
