• Description: Evaluation Board For Th71111
• Manufacturer: Melexis Company

By using the internal PLL synthesizer of the TH71111 with the fixed feedback divider ratio of N = 32
(DIV_32), two types of down-conversion are possible: low-side injection of LO and high-side injection of LO.
The following table summarizes some equations that are useful to calculate the crystal reference frequency
(REF) and the LO frequency, for a given RF and IF.
1.6.1
The following table depicts crystal, LO and image signals considering the examples of 868.3 MHz and
915 MHz RF reception at IF = 10.7 MHz.
The selection of the reference crystal frequency is based on some assumptions. As for example: the image
frequency should not be in a radio band where strong interfering signals might occur (because they could
represent parasitic receiving signals), the LO signal should be in the range of 800 MHz to 930 MHz (because
this is the optimum frequency range of the VCO1). Furthermore the IF should be as high as possible to
achieve highest RF image rejection. The columns in bold depict the selected frequency plans to receive at
868.3 MHz and 915 MHz, respectively.
