Product Description
0.5
CDMAIF+
The RF3404 is a fully-functional, integrated dual-band
downconverter module for tri-mode CDMA applications.
The module, which uses SiGe technology, features two
complete RF downconverters with low noise amplifiers,
RF SAW filters, TX LO buffers, and RF matching for PCS
and cellular band frequencies. Additionally, a divide-by-2
prescaler is integrated to allow the use of a single-band
VCO. Multiple gain control options are available to conserve current and meet IS-98B specifications. The mixer
design allows for a common IF filter for CDMA cellular
and PCS operation, and a second output for the FM output. IF matching is external to the module.

RF3404
Preliminary
Overview
2
8.0mmx8.0mm and takes up only 64mm of PCB
area, is less than half the size of available alternative
solutions, which typically occupy over 200mm2 of
board area. The RF3404 is control-compatible with
existing IF-to-baseband solutions.
Electrical Design Overview
The heart of the module is the RF2489 SiGe monolithic
microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) based on a highperformance silicon germanium (SiGe) process. The
SiGe process is capable of fabricating transistors with
an Ft of 47GHz. The module achieves 30dB of gain
control in the 880MHz band. The gain-control range is
obtained with switches around the LNA and mixer
preamplifier. By itself, the cellular LNA features 15dB
small-signal gain and a typical noise figure of 1.1dB
when drawing 6mA current from a +2.75VDC supply.
A CMOS-enabled control line makes it possible to
select an increased LNA input third-order intercept
point of +10dBm to meet the cross modulation requirements of the IS-95B CDMA specification. The
RF3404's LNA is followed by a miniature RF SAW filter.
It provides RF image rejection as well as transmit-band
rejection. All impedance matching to the RF SAW filter
is contained within the module. The module's RF2489
SiGe MMIC contains two high-frequency mixers that
handle downconversion of the CDMA and AMPS signals at 880MHz. The module provides a common IF
port for the CDMA cellular and PCS band output signal
and a separate IF output port for the AMPS-band IF
signal. The mixers and their integrated preamplifiers
achieve a noise figure of 7dB, gain of 14dB, and input
third-order intercept point of +3dBm. A bypass switch
around the mixer preamplifier is integrated to support
those systems using a two-step gain approach for
meeting the three test conditions of IS-95B intermodulation performance
Rev A1 010918
The 1960MHz PCS CDMA signal path is similar to the
cellular path in many ways. The PCS LNA has a typical
gain of 16dB with a noise figure of 1.3dB. The LNA can
also be bypassed and also has a setting for high input
third-order intercept point of +8dBm. The PCS mixer
features 13dB gain, 7dB noise figure, and input thirdorder intercept point of +3dBm. Again, all of the RF
impedance matching to the LNA and SAW filters is
included in the module.
The RF3404 module is flexible enough to accommodate either single or dual voltage-controlled-oscillator
(VCO) architectures. The cellular band has the selectable option of running the LO directly to the cellular
mixers or routed through a divide-by-2 frequency prescaler for systems that have migrated to a single VCO
architecture. A buffered transmit LO output with
-12dBm output power is also supplied for both the PCS
and cellular bands. The RF3404 requires an input LO
power range of -10dBm to -4dBm. The LO input port is
matched to 50Ω. The LO outputs can be tied together
externally to support single transmit LO applications
and each is matched to 50Ω.
Mechanical Layout Overview
The RF3404 is built around a laminate module technology geared to high-volume manufacturing and the low
cost structure mandated by the wireless industry. RF
Micro Devices has already built millions of power
amplifier (PA) modules using the same materials sets,
supply chain, and manufacturing rules used for the
RF3404.
The module is overmolded with a compound that has a
finished overall thickness of 1.6mm. The backside pattern of the 8.0mm x8.0mm module is a 48-pin land grid
array (LGA) with a double row of input/output (I/O) connections to ease trace routing as shown in the interface
outline drawing. A total of 21 of these I/O pads are
actual signal interconnections, with the remainder
being ground connections.
The I/O pads are a generous 0.5mmx0.6mm in size
on a 1.0mm pitch. The outer ring of I/O pads contains
all of the RF connections along with the voltage supply
and some control lines. The inner ring of I/Os contains
only DC control signal lines and VCC connections. A
1.5mm square ground pad in the center of the module
backplane supplies additional RF grounding and also
assures a very robust mechanical attachment to the
cellular/PCS telephone PCB. The dual row I/Os aid in
the telephone PCB layout by reducing the number of

Why Design with Receive Modules?
The RF3404 is a fully integrated dual-band, tri-mode
module contains an LNA, RF image-rejection SAW filter, mixer, mixer preamplifier, and local oscillator (LO)
buffer amplifiers as shown in the block diagram. The
module also contains all of the RF matching components, bias-setting components, and decoupling components required. The differential IF output matching is
external to the module in part due to the varying range
of IFs used by customers and the physical size of IF
SAW filters. The module, which measures only

Simplify the Supply Chain
The supply chain can be significantly simplified with
the elimination of two dozen components that would
not need to be source selected, qualified, purchased,
received, stored, coordinated or delivered to the factory floor.
traces required to converge on the perimeter of the
module. Routing is eased by viaholes that can be
placed between the inner row of connections and the
center ground pad in the cellular/PCS telephone PCB.

Why Use Integrated Modules?
Decreased Board Area
Table A shows a comparison between the leading four
design approaches for dual-band/tri-mode CDMA front
ends:
1. discrete LNAs and discrete mixers with off-chip
matching for each component,
2. single band cellular and PCS LNA/Mixer MMICs
with off-chip matching,
3. single MMIC dual band chips with off-chip matching
and finally
4. fully integrated modules like the RF3404.
Table A summarizes the number of SMD components
for each approach as well as the typical amount of
phone board space required for a complete layout.The
RF3404 represents a 50 percent to 70 percent reduction in the amount of board space required when compared with the most highly integrated chip solutions on
the market today. Furthermore, it represents the largest percentage improvement in board space savings
for any of the other increased integration gains in
recent years.
Decreased Engineering and Product Cycle Time
With a single module solution the RF engineering
required to design the front end is significantly
reduced. The RF3404 module allows for a design-in
solution meeting all of the IS95B requirements, which
requires significantly less engineering.
Decreased Assembly Costs
Accordingly, assembly costs are also reduced. With
SMD placement costs running in the range of 1.0cents
to 1.3cents per placement and with the placement of
die packages, SAWs, and modules costing even more
per placement, one can eliminate somewhere around
35cents from the cost of assembly with modules and
improve factory throughput.
Improve Phone Level Yield
Known good RF performance at the module level is
available with integrated modules that have been RF
tested. Phone level yield can be improved, in addition
to the improvement in yield from placing two dozen
fewer components.
Reduced BOM Counts
Another area where one can see marked improvement
is in BOM reduction. The RF3404 reduces the BOM
from the most highly integrated alternatives available
today that contain approximately 25 components to
only three. The three are VCC-bypassing capacitors
that depend on the frequency response of the phone
board power supply and a resistor.
Improved Reliability
Mechanical attachment and reliability is improved with
this module technology due to a variety of factors. The
first is the elimination of numerous components and
thus solder joints, which directly aids overall phone reliability. Another important factor is the matched coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) between the laminate
module and the cellular/PCS telephone PCB that eliminates much of the solder stress potential found in lowtemperature-cofired-ceramic (LTCC) or chip-scale
modules and should provide the most robust solution
for the stringent mechanical shock and drop tests that
mobile telephone hardware must survive.
