                            CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
                  Model: FF9OXCX (Southwestern Bell Freedom Phone)



 1        Base

a. RF Transmitter Section — RF Board


Compressed audio signal is frequency modulated through the varactor diode D3.
Diode D3, choke coil L2 and the external components formed the voltage controlled
oscillator circuit for the transmitter part.             This circuit generates the TX VCO
frequency. A portion of this signal is fed back to the PLL IC‘s pinl (FIN1) for phase
comparison.       Once the phase of oscillation stabilized, the PLL circuit generates the
error voltage necessary for the VCO to oscillate at the desired transmitter‘s RF
frequency.        The VCO circuit impedance is matched with the succeeding circuit
through the transistor Q7 that also acts as the buffer amplifier.              RF amplifier QS5
boosts the signal for transmission.           This amplified RF signal is trimmed to the
desired frequency band by BPF9O03 so as not to interfere with the receiver circuit.
The transmitter RF signal is then propagated through the antenna.

b. RF Receiver Section — RF Board

The Base Unit antenna receives RF signal. Band Pass Filter BPF927 trims the signal to
the desirable frequency band. Transistor Q8 is a low noise amplifier that boosts the
RF signal to a specific level for mixing.            PLL IC1 (TB31202) is used as a Universal
Phase Lock Loop circuit. The frequency from the Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO)
D1, L1 and Q4, is fed back to the PLL IC through pin 16 (FIN2) for phase comparison.
During channel scanning or turning the unit on, once the phase of oscillation
stabilized (locked), the PLL circuit generates the first local oscillator frequency for
down—converting the received RF signal into the first IF frequency 10.7MHz.                      This
process is accomplished through the IF mixer circuit Q3.             Q1 is used for matching
the impedance of the mixer circuit with the succeeding circuits.               The resulting IF
signal is kept constant by the IF Filter FL2 to 10.7MHz which is then mixed with the
second local oscillator frequency 11.150MHz (derived from X1 & C47) to produced a
much lower IF frequency. This lower IF frequency if further filtered by IF Filter FL4 to
produce     a    more   stable   signal   of 450KHz.          Quadrature   signal   detection      is
accomplished internally by the Narrow—band Detector IC2 (KA3361) with the IF coil
L7. The recovered audio frequency can be taken from IC2 audio output pin9. Double
conversion of received signal is utilized to improve the image frequency rejection of
the unit.

c. Transmitter Audio Section — Main Board


Audio     Frequency signal from the telephone line is compressed through the
compressor part of IC4 to minimize the transmission noise.                The degree of
compression depends on the external RC combinations. AGC is also utilized by IC4
to avoid shock noise caused by abrupt change of audio levels.         The compressed
audio is filtered and amplified for better acoustical performance.

d. Receiver Audio Section — Main Board


The compressed Audio Frequency signal is passed through passive RC filters for
acoustic compliance.    The filtered audio is then fed to the Compander IC4 for
expansion thus retrieving the original Audio signal with noise filtered out. Q2 & Q9
are used as buffer circuit. Matching transformer HYBI isolates the high—voltage
telephone line to the rest of the circuit. HYBI is also used as a hybrid transformer to
create a two—way path for audio transmission to and reception from the telephone
line.



 2        Handset

a. RF Transmitter Section — RF Board


Refer to portion 1.a for this section.    All circuit performance is exactly the same
except that Band Pass Filter BPF903 be changed to BPF927 for the handset
transmission.

b. RF Receiver Section — RF Board

Refer to portion 1.b for this section.    All circuit performance is exactly the same
except that Band Pass Filter BPF927 be changed to BPF903 for the handset reception.

c. Transmitter Audio. Section — Main Board

Audio Frequency signal from the handset or from the headset microphone is
compressed through the compressor part of IC2 to minimize the transmission noise.
The degree of compression depends on the external RC combinations. AGC is also
utilized by IC2 to avoid shock noise caused by abrupt change of audio levels. The
compressed audio is filtered and amplified for better acoustical performance. QS5 is a
switching transistor that controls the power supply for the TX RF part.

d. Receiver Audio Section — Main Board


The compressed Audio Frequency signal is passed through passive RC filters for
acoustic compliance.    The filtered audio is then fed to the Compander IC2 for
expansion thus retrieving the original Audio signal with noise filtered out. Q3 actas

audio amplifier to sufficiently drive the handset speaker. Q1, Q6 are switching
transistors that control the power supply for the RF part, the Compander part and the
AF amplifier respectively. An earphone jack is provided for an optional headset unit
for handsfree conversation on the handset.



 3        OTHERS (Handset):

a. Charging and Reset Controls

Recharging the handset battery is accomplished by putting the handset on the cradle.
Q200 detects this action and sends a command to the CPU for proper exchange of
security code. Switching SW4 to the RING OFF mode can extend Battery life.

b. Ring Detection

When the handset receives the ring command from the base unit, the CPU will send
buzzer signal to the ringer amplifier Q201 that drives the Buzzer.                      |



 4        OTHERS (Base):

a. Hook Switching and Dialing

Hook switching and pulse dialing is accomplished by the photo—coupler IC3 which is
controlled by the CPU. DTMF signal from the ladder circuit internal to the CPU is
filtered and amplified by U1ID.

b. Over—voltage Protection

Fuse F1 and varistor Z1 act as high current and high voltage protectors for the
telephone line interface. In case of presence of voltage surge across the telephone
line, Z1 decreases its resistance and dumps the line voltage to a safe level. Fuse F1
opens when excessive current is present on the line thus protecting both the user
and the line interface.

c. Battery Charging & Code Setting

Battery charging commences when transistor Q7 detects the presence of the handset
on cradle. C29 and R71 form the reset circuit to command the CPU to change the
security code everytime the dco supply is removed and restored.      When the reset
circuit is activated, the CPU will send a new security code to the handset selecting
among 65536 combinations.

d. Ring Detection

Incoming ring signal is detected by the LM324 U1ID. External RC combinations          set
the level of signal detection. The CPU checks the frequency of the ring signal, and
when valid, sends the ringing command to the speaker or to the Handset.

e. Power Supplies

Diode D11 ensures uniform polarity for the entire circuit. Transistor Q1 and capacitor
C1 regulate the voltage to +9Vdc for the buffer amplifier circuit. 1C1 regulates the
voltage to +5Vdc for the rest of the circuit. Transistor Q8 controls the power
supplied to the TX part of the RF circuits.

f. Squelch Detection

In conjunction with the 3361 IC (IC2 of the Base RF), fixed resistor sets the level of
signal detection and UIC acts as the comparator circuit whose composite output is
the RSSI signal for the CPU.

g. RX Data

Commands from the Handset is filtered and re—constructed by the Schmitt trigger
circuit UIB.   The composite output is the RX Data that is input to the CPU for
validation and processing.

TITLE : Model FFIOXXX {(900MHz 40—Channels) Automatic Channel Selection Mechanism


                               AUTOMATIC CHANNEL SELECTION MECHANISM
                                900MHz 40—Channels Basic Cordless Telephone
                                  MODEL: FF9OXXX (SWB Freedom Phone)


During the activation of Talk, the Handset receiver scans for free channel from its last linked receiver channel (about
50ms per channel). Once a free channel is found, the Handset transmits the Talk instruction to Base together with the
receiver‘s free channel information for the Base to use this free channel as the Transmit channel.


Likewise, the Base receiver continuously scans each channel (25ms per channel) and stores all free channels into its
memory. Once the Base receiver received the instruction from its Handset, it will stop from scanning and transmits its
acknowledgement data with the Base receiver free channel information. When the Handset receives this Base free
channel information, it will transmit the link command to Base and both will link on the clearest channel. The Handset
and Base scan and find their receiver‘s clearest channel separately. If all transmit channels of Handset and Base are
occupied (all busy), Handset and Base will link on the default channel (Channel 20).
