cdma 2000 1xRTT Characterization System Description CDMA2000 is the TIA’s standard for third generation (3G) technol- ogy and is an evolution of the IS-95 CDMA format. CDMA2000 includes 1X RTT in the single- carrier mode and 3X RTT in the multi-carrier mode. This paper describes the CDMA2000 1X RTT approach and its performance with Agilent 4x4 CDMA PAs, ACPM-7813. CDMA2000 1X RTT, being an extension of the IS-95 standard, has a chip rate of 1.2288Mchip/s. However, in 1xRTT, the reverse link transmits more than one code channel to accommodate the high data rates. The minimum configura- tion consists of a reverse pilot (R-Pilot) channel for synchro- nous detection by the Base Transceiver System (BTS) and a reverse fundamental channel (R-FCH) for voice. Additional channels such as the reverse supplemental channels (R-SCHs) and the reverse dedicated channel (R-DCCH) are used to send data or signaling informa- tion. Channels can exist at different rates and power levels. Table 1 shows the transmitter specification in CDMA2000 reverse link. T ypical channel configurations below are based on the transmitter test condition in the reverse link. 1) “Basic” Voice only configuration – R-PICH @ -5.3 dB – R-FCH @ -1.5 dB 9.6 kbps 2) Voice and Data configuration – R-PICH @ -5.3 dB – R-FCH @ -4.54 dB 9.6 kbps – R-SCH1 @ -4.54 dB 9.6 kbps Specification Spread Rate1 ERP at Maximum Lower limit +23 dBm Output Power Upper limit +30 dBm Minimum Controlled Output Power -50 dBm/1.23 MHz Waveform Quality Factor and Frequency Accuracy >0.944 SR1, Band Class 0(Cellular band) SR1, Band Class1(PCS band) 885 kHz to 1.98 MHz 1.25 MHz to 1.98 MHz Less stringent of -42 dBc/30 kHz Less stringent of -42 dBc/30 kHz or -54 dBm/1.23 MHz or -54 dBm/1.23 MHz 1.98 MHz to 3.125 MHz 1.98 MHz to 2.25 MHz Less stringent of -54 dBc/30 kHz Less stringent of -50 dBc/30 kHz or -54 dBm/1.23 MHz or -54 dBm/1.23 MHz 3.125 MHz to 5.625 MHz 2.25 MHz to 6.25 MHz -13 dBm/100 kHz -13 dBm/1 MHz Spurious Emission at Maximum RF output power offset frequency within the range 3) Voice and Control configuration – R-PICH @ -5.3 dB – R-FCH @ -3.85 dB 9.6 kbps – R-DCCH @ -3.85 dB 9.6 kbps 4) Control channel only configuration – R-PICH @ -5.3 dB – R-DCCH @ -1.5 dB 9.6 kbps T able 1. Transmitter Specification in Reverse Link.

Combinations of these channels will increase the peak to average power ratio for higher data rates. The complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF) measurement characterizes the peak to average power statistics of CDMA2000 reverse link. For reference, the system specifica- tions of peak to average power ratio of IS-95 and CDMA2000 IX RTT are 3.9 dB and 5.4 dB at 1% CCDF respectively. Higher peak to average power ratio requires a higher margin, both in higher power gain and in improved thermal stability for PA linearity to meet the minimum system specifications. The test results below for the ACPM-7813 show the compliance to the system linearity specifica- tions with 4 channel configura- tions, representing a broad cross-section of CDMA2000 1X RTT environments.

Handset designers must balance maintaining adequate linearity while optimizing efficiency at high, medium and low output power levels. The primary method to achieve these goals is to adjust the bias of the PA as a function of output power. Theoretically, the best efficiency would be achieved when the bias of the PA is continually adjusted based on the output power requirement of the PA. However, implementing this type of circuit can be complex and costly. Therefore several different approaches have been developed to provide an acceptable trade- off between optimum efficiency and optimum manufacturability. This application section reviews four methods of controlling the bias of a CDMA power amplifier: fixed, step, logical and dynamic. 1. Fixed Bias Control Using a fixed bias point on the PA is the traditional method, and it is the simplest. For example, a fixed control voltage of 2.5V is recommended when using Agilent’s Power Amplifier, 2.5V Vcntl for ACPM-7813. The Vcntl pin on the PA is controlled by PA_ON pin of the baseband IC. When PA_ON is HIGH, the output RF signal of the PA is enabled, enabling the subscriber unit to transmit the required data. The switch circuit also controls the on/off state of the PA. Below is an example of how to control the operation of the ACPM-7813 using the PA_ON and Vcntl pin of the PA.

1. Step Bias Control and Dynamic Bias Control (if controled PDM1) The PDM1 output from the baseband IC can be used to create a software-programmable voltage, to be used at the phone designer’s discretion. To get high efficiency and better ACPR, the phone designers can change control voltage of the PA by adjusting PDM1 voltage accord- ing to output power of PA. A caution when using this Power Mode PA_ON Vcntl Power Range Shut Down LOW 0V — Low Power HIGH 1.2V ~ -5 dBm Mid Power HIGH 1.6V -5 dBm ~ 13 dBm High Power HIGH 2.5V 13 dBm ~ 28.5 dBm To Duplexer Battery Vdd1 Vdd2 Vcntl PA TxIC Switch Circuit for PA Baseband IC PA_ON PDM1 Vbias Enable approach — careful consideration must be made to to avoid an abrupt discontinuity in the output signal when the step bias control voltage is applied. The figure below is an example of how to control the PA for multiple bias points using the PA_ON and Vcntl pin. If PDM1 can be controlled then same circuit can be used for Dynamic bias control.

1. Dynamic Bias Control Alternate Implementation Phone designers can use TX_ADC_ADJ pin of the baseband IC to get dynamic bias control with Vcntl pin of PA. TX_ADC_ADJ is a PDM output pin produced by the TX AGC subsystem and used to control the gain of the Tx signal prior to the PA. The variable output levels from two inverting operational amplifiers, generated and com- pared by TX_ADC_ADJ, provide dynamic control voltages for the Vcntl of 1.0V ~ 2.7V with a 0.1V step. Av = -(V1/Vin) = -R3/R2, V1 = -(R3/R2)Vin, Vo = -(R5/R4)V1= [(R5 *R3)/(R4*R2)]*Vin The using of combination of two pins, PDM1 and TX_ADC_ADJ, is another method of realizing a dynamic bias control scheme. The two OP Amps control the Vcntl voltage levels with com- pared and integrated circuits.

Zone 1 – Preheat Zone The average heat up rate for surface-mount component on PCB shall be less than 3 °C/ second to allow even heating for both the component and PCB. This ramp is maintained until it reaches 100 °C where flux activation starts. Zone 2 – Soak Zone The flux is being activated here to prepare for even and smooth solder joint in subsequent zone. The temperature ramp is kept gradual to minimize thermal mismatch between solder, PC Board and components. Over- ramp rate here can cause solder splatter due to excessive oxida- tion of paste. Zone 3 – Reflow Zone The third process zone is the solder reflow zone. The tempera- ture in this zone rises rapidly from 183 °C to peak temperature of 235°C for the solder to trans- form its phase from solid to liquids. The dwell time at melting point 183 °C shall maintain at between 60 to 150 seconds. Upon the duration of 10-20 seconds at peak temperature, it is then cooled down rapidly to allow the solder to freeze and form solid. Extended duration above the solder melting point can poten- tially damage temperature sensitive components and result in excessive inter-metallic growth that causes brittle solder joint, weak and unreliable connections. It can lead to unnecessary dam- age to the PC Board and discol- oration to component’s leads. Zone 4 – Cooling Zone The temperature ramp down rate is 6 °C/second maximum. It is important to control the cooling rate as fast as possible in order to achieve the smaller grain size for solder and increase fatigue resistance of solder joint. Solder Paste The recommended solder paste is type Sn6337A or Sn60Pb40A of J-STD-006. Note: Solder paste storage and shelf life shall be in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications. Stencil or Screen The solder paste may be depos- ited onto PCB by either screen printing, using a stencil or syringe dispensing. The recom- mended stencil thickness is in accordance to JESD22-B102-C. Nominal stencil thickness Component lead pitch 0.102 mm (0.004 in) Lead pitch less than 0.508 mm (0.020 in) 0.203 mm (0.008 in) Lead pitch greater than 0.635 mm (0.025 in) www.agilent.com/semiconductors For product information and a complete list of distributors, please go to our web site.
