Figure 2: Block Diagram of SL6649-1 Direct Conversion Receiver 3 SL6649-1 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION The incoming signal is split into two parts and frequency converted to baseband. The two paths are produced in phase quadrature (see Fig 2) and detected in a phase detector which provides a digital output. The quadrature network must be in the local oscillator path. At a data rate of 512 baud and a deviation frequency of 4.5kHz, the input to the system has a demodulation index of 18. This gives a spectrum as in Fig 3. f1 and f0 represent the ‘steady state’ frequencies (i.e. modulated with continuous ‘1’ and ‘0’ respectively). The spectrum in Fig 3 is for reversals (a 0-1-0-1-0-1 etc. pattern) at the system bit rate; fC is the nominal carrier frequency). When the LO is at the nominal carrier frequency, then a continuous ‘0’ or ‘1’ will produce an audio frequency, at the output of the mixers corresponding to the difference between f0 and fC or f1 and fC. If the LO is precisely at fc, then the resultant output signal will be at the same frequency regardless of the data state; nevertheless, the relative phases of the two paths will reverse between ‘0’ and ‘1’ states. By applying the amplified outputs of the mixers to a phase discriminator, the digital data is reproduced. Figure 3: Spectrum Diagram TUNING THE CHANNEL FILTERS The adjacent channel rejection performance of the SL6649-1 receiver is determined by the channel filters. To obtain optimum adjacent channel rejection, the channel filters’ cut off frequency should be set to 8kHz. The process tolerances are such that the cut off frequency cannot be accurately defined, hence the channel filters must be tuned. However the receiver characteristics on the previous page can be achieved with a fixed 270kΩ resistor between pin 3 and GND. Tuning is performed by adjusting the current in the gyrator circuits. This changes the values of the gyrator’s equivalent inductance. The cut off frequency is tuned to 8kHz. To accurately define the cut off of the channel filters, a gyrator based Colpitts oscillator circuit has been included on the SL6649-1. The Colpitts oscillator and channel filters use the same type of architecture, hence there is a direct correlation between oscillator frequency and cut off frequency. By knowing the Colpitts oscillator frequency the channel filter cut off frequency can be estimated from Figure 4. Once the channel filters have been tuned it may be necessary to disable the Colpitts oscillator. The Colpitts oscillator is disabled by connecting the Colpitts oscillator output/disable pin (pin # 16) to VCC2. This is needed since the Colpitts oscillator may impair the performance of the receiver. k k Figure 4 k Figure 5: Channel Filter Response 4 SL6649-1 5 Figure 6: Block Diagram and Applications Circuit (for component values see next page) SL6649-1 COMPONENTS LIST FOR FIGURE 6 Capacitors C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8 C9 C10 1nF 1nF 1nF 5.6pF 1nF 2.2µF 1nF 1nF 2.2µF 2.2µF C11 C12 C13 C14 C15 C16 C17 C18 C19 C20 1nF 1nF 10pF 1nF 10pF 1nF 5.6pF 4.7pF 1nF 1nF Resistors Inductors Transformers Miscellaneous R1 R2 R4 R5 R6 R7 R8 L1 L2 L3 L4 T1 IC1 SL6649-1 TR1 SOT-23 Transistor with fτ ≥ 1.3GHz (EG.

This method requires the following equipment: 1. A signal generator e.g. HP8640 2. A pocsag encoder 3. A pocsag decoder e.g. MV6639 4. An SL6649-1 Demo Board. 5. An interference free low impedance P.S.U. (VCC1 and VCC2 must be separate supplies and there must be at least 0.7V difference between them). Recommended supply configurations are shown in Fig. 13. The test equipment and D.U.T. are set up as shown in Figure 11. The R.F. frequency is set to the nominal L.O. frequency of the receiver and the peak deviation is set to 4.5kHz. Care must be taken to avoid long power supply leads and any ground loops. Any interference from the decoder will be reduced by the insertion of a high value resistor R1 (100KΩ) between the receiver data output and the decoder input. Figure 11: Test System The generator output level is reduced successively until the decoder responds just 4 out of 5 times to the encoder signal. This output level is then recorded as the sensitivity threshold of the receiver. We find that this threshold correlates to a bit error rate of 1 in 30. The data output waveforms for an input level which produces a B.E.R. of 1 in 30 and for input levels 2dB above and below this level, are shown below (square wave input). It can be seen that the edge jitter increases dramatically at signal levels below the sensitivity threshold of -127dBm. Typical waveforms that can be seen on an oscilloscope around the sensitivity threshold level are shown in Figure 12. NB. In performing the sensitivity measurement great care should be taken in preventing coupling between test leads.

Only 3 integrated circuits are required to perform all the functions of a tone only pager. These are SL6649-1 direct conversion radio receiver and the MV6639 POCSAG decoder plus a 1 volt E2PROM (eg. Seiko Epson SPM28C51). The SL6649-1 receives and demodulates the data, and monitors the battery voltage. The interface between the decoder and receiver consists of only 3 connections excluding the supplies. The MV6639 performs all the functions required for a POCSAG decoder for tone only and/or pager messaging at 512 or 1200 baud. A 32kHz watch crystal is used as the reference frequency for the decoder. The decoder voltage doubler output VCC2 is available to power not only the receiver, but an alternative higher voltage E2PROM and microprocessor/LCD driver for a full tone and message pager. Figure 13(b): Tone Pager Applications Example Showing Interface with SL6649-1 Receiver OPERATION AT OTHER FREQUENCIES AND DATA RATES The values given in the components list for figure 6 are appropriate for frequencies nominally around 153MHz. In order to use the receiver at other frequencies it is necessary to change the capacitor C4 which is resonant with the transformer T1, and L2 and L4 in the oscillator circuit. It is also necessary to change the values of capacitors C13 and C15 such that the reactance of these is equal to 100Ω at the required frequency. It is of course necessary to use a crystal of the required frequency and stability. In order to use the receiver at higher data rates it is only necessary to reduce the value of C8, for example, at 1200bps, C8=470pf. A demonstration board has been designed specifically to demonstrate terminal sensitivity. It is possible to connect an antenna to the board with suitable matching but no guarantee can be given regarding field strength sensitivity. However, with a suitably designed combination of PCB and antenna, a sensitivity of 5µV/M should be attainable. 11 SL6649-1 PACKAGE DETAILS Dimensions are shown thus: mm (in).
