Resources Required:
GSM Trainer Kit 2G/3G/4G GSM Trainer Kit, SIM card any type micro, Nano or Standard SIM, Dual
trace DSO 80MHz, Spectrum analyzer 1GHz, DMM 3, Connecting Wires Banana plugs 4 no.
Minimum Theoretical background:
A mobile phone also known as a cellular phone, cell phone, hand phone, or simply a phone is a
phone that can make and receive telephone calls over a radio link while moving around a wide
geographic area. It does so by connecting to a cellular network provided by a mobile phone
operator, allowing access to the public telephone network.
RF section:
RF signal is filtered and down converted to analog baseband signals in the RF section. RF section
consists of 2 main circuits i.e. Transmitter and Receiver.
Analog Baseband / Voice band Codec:
Analog baseband signals from RF receiver section are filtered, sampled, and digitized before being
fed to the DSP section. The coded speech digital information from DSP section are sampled and
converted to analog baseband signals which is then fed to the RF transmitter section. The voice
speech from the microphone is digitized and coded to a certain bit rate (13kbps for GSM) using
the appropriate coding scheme. The received voice call binary information are decoded and
converted in the speaker.
DSP / Microprocessor:
The digital signal processor (DSP) is designed to perform signal manipulation calculations at high
speed. The microprocessor handles all signaling for the keyboard and display; deals with
command and control signaling with the base station and also coordinates the rest of the
functions on the board.
Flash Memory, ROM, SRAM (SIM card):
The ROM, SRAM, and Flash memory chips provide storage for the phone's operating system and
customizable features, such as the phone directory. The SIM card stores the subscriber’s
identification number and other network information.
Power Management / DC- DC:
This section regulates from the battery all the voltages required to the different Phone sections.
Transmitter and Receiver section:
Signal to the transmitter is the audio signal from the microphone of the mobile handset. This
analog / audio signal is converted into digital signal by the ADC. It is further modulated by the
GMSK scheme and the modulated signal is transmitted through a transmitting antenna. The signal

to the receiver is the modulated signal which is demodulated into digital signal. This digital signal
is converted into analog form with the help of DAC. The analog signal is then given to the speaker.
