RF Front-end
The RF front-end of the receiver is a low-IF heterodyne configuration that converts the input signal into about 1MHz IF signal
with a typical image rejection of 30dB. According to Figure
Figure 1-2 on page 3
the front-end consists of an LNA (low noise
amplifier), LO (local oscillator), I/Q mixer, polyphase low-pass filter and an IF amplifier.
The PLL generates the drive frequency f
LO
for the mixer using a fully integrated synthesizer with integrated low noise
LC-VCO (voltage controlled oscillator) and PLL-loop filter. The XTO (crystal oscillator) generates the reference frequency
f
REF
= f
XTO
/2 (868MHz and 433MHz versions) or f
REF
= f
XTO
/3 (315MHz version). The integrated LC-VCO generates two or
four times the mixer drive frequency f
VCO
. The I/Q signals for the mixer are generated with a divide by two or four circuit
(f
LO
= f
VCO
/2 for 868MHz version, f
LO
= f
VCO
/4 for 433MHz and 315MHz versions). f
VCO
is divided by a factor of 128 or 64 and
feeds into a phase frequency detector and is compared with f
REF
. The output of the phase frequency detector is fed into an
integrated loop filter and thereby generates the control voltage for the VCO. If f
LO
is determined, f
XTO
can be calculated using
the following formula:
f
REF
= f
LO
/128 for 868MHz band, f
REF
= f
LO
/64 for 433MHz bands, f
REF
= f
LO
/64 for 315MHz bands.
The XTO is a two-pin oscillator that operates at the series resonance of the quartz crystal with high current but low voltage
signal, so that there is only a small voltage at the crystal oscillator frequency at pins XTAL1 and XTAL2. According to
Figure 3-1,
the crystal should be connected to GND with two capacitors C
L1
and C
L2
from XTAL1 and XTAL2 respectively.
The value of these capacitors are recommended by the crystal supplier. Due to an inductive impedance at steady state
oscillation and some PCB parasitics, a lower value of C
L1
and C
L2
is normally necessary.
The value of C
Lx
should be optimized for the individual board layout to achieve the exact value of f
XTO
and hence of f
LO
. (The
best way is to use a crystal with known load resonance frequency to find the right value for this capacitor.) When designing
the system in terms of receiving bandwidth and local oscillator accuracy, the accuracy of the crystal and the XTO must be
considered.

The nominal frequency f
LO
is determined by the RF input frequency f
RF
and the IF frequency f
IF
using the following formula
(low-side injection):
f
LO
= f
RF
– f
IF
To determine f
LO
, the construction of the IF filter must be considered. The nominal IF frequency is f
IF
= 950kHz. To achieve a
good accuracy of the filter corner frequencies, the filter is tuned by the crystal frequency f
XTO
. This means that there is a fixed
relationship between f
IF
and f
LO
.
f
IF
= f
LO

ATA5723C)
f
IF
= f
LO
/438 for the 433.92MHz band (Atmel ATA5724C)
f
IF
= f
LO
/915 for the 868.3MHz band (Atmel ATA5728C)
The relationship is designed to achieve the nominal IF frequency of:
f
IF
= 987kHz for the 315MHz and B
IF
= 300kHz (Atmel ATA5723C)
f
IF
= 987kHz for the 433.92MHz and B
IF
= 300kHz (Atmel ATA5724C)
f
IF
= 947.8kHz for the 868.3MHz and B
IF
= 600kHz (Atmel ATA5728C)
The RF input either from an antenna or from an RF generator must be transformed to the RF input pin LNA_IN. The input
impedance of this pin is provided in the electrical parameters. The parasitic board inductances and capacitances influence
the input matching. The RF receiver Atmel ATA5723C/ATA5724C/ATA5728C exhibits its highest sensitivity if the LNA is
power matched. Because of this, matching to a SAW filter, a 50Ω or an antenna is easier.
Figure 14-1 on page 29
shows a
typical input matching network for f
RF
= 315MHz, f
RF
= 433.92MHz or f
RF
= 868.3MHz to 50Ω. The input matching network
shown in
Table 14-2 on page 29
is the reference network for the parameters given in the electrical characteristics.
