Aero 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.

Receiver Block Diagram Image Reject Low - IF Receiver
Aero 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.
Transmitter Block Diagram Offset PLL
Advantage - Low noise floor and spurs - Pulling of the transmit VCO is reduced -Truly constant envelope Output from VCO Offset 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 • Disadvantage • - Only possible with constant envelope modulation scheme
DCXO Architecture Frequency adjusted by two variable capacitances - Cdac: coarse tuning - Cafc: fine tuning
