PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 
The AD6650 is a diversity, IF to baseband receiver for 
GSM/EDGE. This narrow band receiver consists of an 
integrated DVGA, IF-to-baseband I&Q demodulators, low-
pass filtering, and a dual wideband ADC.  The chip can 
accommodate IF input frequencies from 70 MHz to 300 MHz.  
This receiver architecture is designed such that only one 
external SAW filter(one for main and one for diversity) is 
required in the entire Rx signal path to meet GSM/EDGE 
blocking requirements. 
Digital decimation and filtering circuitry is embedded on chip 
to generate serial output I&Q
 data streams.  
The decimating 
filters remove unwanted signals and noise outside the channel 
of interest.  In addition, programmable RAM Coefficient 
filters allow anti-aliasing, matched filtering, and static 
equalization functions to be combined in a single, cost-
effective filter.   
The AD6650 is part of a complete GSM/EDGE receive and 
transmit chipset.  Other components in this chipset are: RF to 
IF amplifier/mixers, receive and transmit frequency hopping 
synthesizers, and a baseband to IF transmit modulator and 
ramping chip.
