The DSP part contains:
• DSP signal processor
• Separate program/data memory
• a hardware block for processing the RX signal,
• a hardware block for “ciphers“,
• a hardware block for processing the linguistic signal,
• a hardware block for the “GMSK modulator“,
• De-/ interleaving memory,
• Communication memory
• a PLL for processing and reproducing the VCXO pulse signal.
In the DSP Firmware are implemented the following functions:
• scanning of channels, i.e., measurement of the field strengths of neighbouring
base stations
• detection and evaluation of Frequency Correction Bursts
• equalisation of Normal Bursts and Synchronisation Bursts
• channel encoding and soft-decision decoding for fullrate, enhanced-fullrate and
adaptive multirate speech, fullrate and halfrate data and control channels.
• channel encoding for GPRS coding
• fullrate, enhanced fullrate and adaptive multirate speech encoding and decoding
• mandatory sub-functions like
– discontinuous transmission, DTX
– voice activity detection
– background noise calculation
• generation of tone and side tone
• hands-free functions
• support for voice memo
• support for voice dialling
• loop-back to GSM functions
• GSM Transparent Data Services and Transparent Fax
• calculation of the Frame Check Sequence for a RLP frame used for GSM
NonTransparent Data Services
• support of the GSM ciphering algorithm
Real Time Clock (integrated in the EGOLD+):
The real time clock is powered via a separate voltage regulator inside the Power
Supply ASIC. Via a capacitor, data are kept in the internal RAM during a battery
change for at least 30 seconds. An alarm function is also integrated with which it is
possible to switch the phone on and off.
