A fully integrated zero-IF transceiver for GSM-GPRS quad-band application

A fully integrated GSM/GPRS quad-band transceiver is presented. It includes the receiver, the transmitter, the synthesizer, all necessary voltage-controlled oscillators, all loop filters, the voltage regulators, the voltage-controlled crystal oscillator, and the power amplifier controller. The chip...

More Information
Summary:A fully integrated GSM/GPRS quad-band transceiver is presented. It includes the receiver, the transmitter, the synthesizer, all necessary voltage-controlled oscillators, all loop filters, the voltage regulators, the voltage-controlled crystal oscillator, and the power amplifier controller. The chip meets all GSM specification. The design was done in a BiCMOS SiGe 0.35-/spl mu/m technology and the die area is 14 mm/sup 2/.
