WL600C
2.4 - 2.5GHz RF and IF Circuit Preliminary Information
DS4581 ISSUE 2.1 August 1997
The WL600C is a 2.4-2.5GHz RF transmitter and receiver chip for use in digital radio, and operates from a supply voltage of 2.7 - 3.6V. It is designed to work with the Zarlink Semiconductor WL800 frequency synthesiser and the WL102 WLAN controller chip which together make up the DE6038 frequency hopping Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) transceiver. The receiver circuit contains a low noise amplifier, image rejecting mixer, IF limiting strip with RSSI and a quadrature demodulator. There is also a power amplifier driver stage and ramp control facility for use in transmit.

Functional Description Receive The RF input stage of the WL600C receiver is a 2.5GHz low noise amplifier (LNA). The output of the single ended LNA is split and fed into the inputs of two mixers which form an image rejecting down converter. An external oscillator (2.357 2.457GHz)is fed through an RC phase shift network to provide the required quadrature local oscillator signal. The mixer outputs are fed through further phase shift networks and are combined to form a differential 43MHz IF signal which is used to drive the 43MHz SAW filter. The output of the SAW filter is fed into a differential limiting strip which provides the IF gain. The strip has a series of detectors whose output provides an analog voltage indicating receive signal strength (RSSI). Alternatively, for basic applications a comparator connected to the RSSI detectors can be used. When the RSSI signal is greater than a value set by the CCA_THRESHOLD input the clear channel assessment (CCAB) output goes high. A conventional quadrature demodulator (with external tuned circuit to supply the quadrature drive) provides the analogue data stream which is then AC coupled to a data slice comparator. A clamp circuit is connected between the comparator inputs to provide DC restoration of the AC coupled signal. The comparator output then goes to the data and clock recovery circuits on a CMOS integrated circuit (such as the WL102).
Transmit The local oscillator signal is also used in transmit at a higher frequency (2.4 2.5GHz) and is buffered and amplified on the WL600C. This provides the drive to the transmit power amplifier (also off chip). A ramp circuit is included to control the drive level to the power amplifier in a controlled manner. This is done at the start and end of a transmit sequence and should be used to prevent the generation of spectral "splash". A single external capacitor controls the rate of increase and decrease of the power drive level.
