Aero II RX HighlightsAero II RX Highlights• Low IF architecture strengths (200kHz IF)

– Has advantages of Super-Heterodyne architectures :– DC Offsets are located outside the band of interest.– IP2 (AM Suppression) requirements are relaxed.– LO Self Mixing is not a problem.

– Has advantages of Direct Conversion architectures :– No IF SAW Filter required – Image Rejection

requirements are simplified.– Single analog down-conversion stage.– IF Analog Signal Processing is at a low frequency.

– Digital IF signal processing.

Aero II TX HighlightsAero II TX Highlights

• Offset PLL architecture– Band Pass Noise Transfer Function attenuates noise in

RX band.– TXVCO is a constant-envelope signal that reduces the

problem of spectral spreading caused by non-linearity in the PA.

– Eliminates need for TX SAW Filter.

• TX transmit out buffer– Helps eliminate spurs and pulling issues.

Offset PLL

15

Offset PLLOffset PLL- The OPLL acts as a tracking band-pass filter tuned to the

desired channel frequency. - The important difference between a PLL and the OPLL is

that the frequency modulation of the reference input is

reproduced at the output of the Tx-VCO without scaling

• Advantage - Low noise floor and spurs - Pulling of the transmit VCO is reduced -Truly constant envelope Output from VCO

• Disadvantage - Only possible with constant

envelope modulation scheme
