Fig.13 RF-AMP circuit.
The source signal for the RF-AMP is either the differential
voltage pair (RFP1 and RFN1) or (RFP2 and RFN2). The
selection is done via the serial bus with bit RF1/2 (see
Fig.13). A DC-control function is included to allow the
output signal to be DC-coupled to a channel decoder. The
relation between input and output of the DC-control block
is given by rfb =rfa DCRF. The RF-AMP has a Variable
Gain Amplifier (VGA) that is controlled via the serial bus.
The output of the VGA is sent to a filter section that
consists of an Equalizer (EQ) and a Noise Filter (NF),
which are controlled by KEQ, ENEQ, BWRF and ENNF.
The equalizer has a transfer function H1(s) which is
modelled after a target transfer function He(s):
(3)
This represents a 3rd-degree equi-ripple phase filter with a
good delay response. The boost factor k is programmable
via the serial interface with control bit KEQ.
The corner frequency
ω0(RF) =2π× f0(RF) is programmable
via control parameter BWRF. The equalizer is switched on
with bit ENEQ.
The noise filter has a transfer function H2(s) which is
modelled after a 3rd-order Butterworth low-pass filter with
target transfer function Hn(s):
(4)
The corner frequency
ω
0(RF) is equal to that of the
equalizer filter.
Finally the low-ohmic differential output voltage is
produced by a driver stage, where input voltage RFREF
defines the common mode voltage of RFP and RFN.
Bit HA selects between a low output level (HA = 0) and a
high output level (HA = 1).
