Frequency Synthesizers
The VCO frequency is locked by a PLL (phase locked loop) into a stable frequency source 
given by a VCTCXO which is running at 26 MHz. The frequency of the VCTCXO is in turn 
locked into the frequency of the base station with the help of an AFC voltage which is 
generated in UEM by an 11 bit D/A converter.  The PLL is located in Helga and it is con-
trolled through the RFBus.
The required frequency dividers for modulator and demodulator mixers are integrated in 
Helga.
Loop filter filters out the comparison pulses of the phase detector and generates a DC 
control voltage to the VCO. The loop filter determines the step response of the PLL (set-
tling time) and contributes to the stability of the loop.
The  frequency synthesizer is integrated in Helga except for the VCTCXO, VCO, and the 
loop filter.
Receiver
Each receiver path is a direct conversion linear receiver.  From the antenna the received 
RF-signal is fed to a front end module where a diplexer first divides the signal to two 
separate paths according to the band of operation: either lower, EGSM900 or upper, 
DCS1800/PCS1900 path. 
Most of the receiver circuitry is included in Helga.
Transmitter
The transmitter consists of two final frequency IQ-modulators and power amplifiers, for 
the lower and upper bands separately, and a power control loop. The IQ-modulators are 
integrated in Helga, as well as the operational amplifiers of the power control loop. The 
two power amplifiers are located in a single module and the power detector, directional 
coupler, and loop filter parts of the power control loop are implemented as discrete com-
ponents on the PWB. In the GMSK mode the power is controlled by adjusting the DC bias 
levels of the power amplifiers. 
Front End
The front end features include:
- Antenna 50 ohm input
- RX PCS single output, RX EGSM/DCS balanced output
- TXs single 50 ohm input
