1.1
Theory of Operation
General
With the TH71112 receiver chip, various circuit configurations can be arranged in order to meet a number of
different customer requirements. For FM/FSK reception the IF tank used in the phase coincidence
demodulator can also be constituted by a ceramic discriminator with a varactor diode to create an AFC
circuit. In ASK configuration, the RSSI signal is fed to an ASK detector, which is constituted by the
operational amplifier.
The superheterodyne configuration is double conversion where MIX1 and MIX2 are driven by the internal
local oscillator signals LO1 and LO2, respectively. This allows a high degree of image rejection, achieved in
conjunction with an RF front-end filter. Efficient RF front-end filtering is realized by using a SAW, ceramic or
helix filter in front of the LNA and by adding an LC filter at the LNA output.
A single-conversion variant, called TH71111, is also available. Both Receiver ICs have the same die. At the
TH71111 the second mixer MIX2 operates as an amplifier.
The TH71112 receiver IC consists of the following building blocks:
#
#
#
#
#
#
#
#
PLL synthesizer (PLL SYNTH) for generation of the first and second local oscillator signals LO1 and
LO2, parts of the PLL SYNTH are: the high-frequency VCO1, the feedback dividers DIV_16 and DIV_2,
a phase-frequency detector (PFD) with charge pump (CP) and a crystal-based reference oscillator (RO)
Low-noise amplifier (LNA) for high-sensitivity RF signal reception
First mixer (MIX1) for down-conversion of the RF signal to the first IF (IF1)
Second mixer (MIX2) for down-conversion of the IF1 to the second IF (IF2)
IF amplifier (IFA) to amplify and limit the IF2 signal and for RSSI generation
Phase coincidence demodulator (DEMOD) with third mixer (MIX3) to demodulate the IF signal
Operational amplifier (OA) for data slicing, filtering and ASK detection
Bias circuitry for bandgap biasing and circuit shutdown

Frequency Planning
Frequency planning is straightforward for single-conversion applications because there is only one IF that
can be chosen, and then the only possible choice is low-side or high-side injection of the LO signal (which is
now the one and only LO signal in the receiver).
The receiver’s double-conversion architecture requires careful frequency planning. Besides the desired RF
input signal, there are a number of spurious signals that may cause an undesired response at the output.
Among them are the image of the RF signal (that must be suppressed by the RF front-end filter), spurious
signals injected to the first IF (IF1) and their images which could be mixed down to the same second IF (IF2)
as the desired RF signal (they must be suppressed by the LC filter at IF1 and/or by low-crosstalk design).

868/915MHz
FSK/FM/ASK Receiver
By configuring the TH71112 for double conversion and using its internal PLL synthesizer with fixed feedback
divider ratios of N1 = 16 (DIV_16) and N2 = 2 (DIV_2), four types of down-conversion are possible: low-side
injection of LO1 and LO2 (low-low), LO1 low-side and LO2 high-side (low-high), LO1 high-side and LO2
low-side (high-low) or LO1 and LO2 high-side (high-high). The following table summarizes some equations
that are useful to calculate the crystal reference frequency (REF), the first IF (IF1) and the VCO1 or first LO
frequency (LO1), respectively, for a given RF and second IF (IF2).

The selection of the reference crystal
frequency is based on some assumptions. As
for example: the first IF and the image
frequencies should not be in a radio band
where strong interfering signals might occur
(because they could represent parasitic
receiving signals), the LO1 signal should be in
the range of 800 MHz to 930 MHz (because
this is the optimum frequency range of the
VCO1). Furthermore the first IF should be as
high as possible to achieve highest RF image
rejection.
