4.1.2 Description of PCBs
The handset, which is in the form of a clamshell, contains three printed circuit boards. The main PCB is based on an 8 layer
methodology, constructed using ALIVH-G material. It carries all the RF components on the top half and the baseband
components (Logic circuits) on the lower half. The key pad is mounted on the reverse side of the main PCB. The RF circuit
area is shielded by two metal screens. One compartment contains the Antenna Switch Module (ASM), Power Amplifier
Module (PAM), TX SAW filter and limiter amplifier. The other shielded compartment contains the transceiver IC (Smarti-DC +),
TCXO, 3rd Harmonic (H3) filters, and the RX SAW filters. The logic and Bluetooth circuits are shielded by one screen each.
The second PCB is a flexible printed circuit. One side of its assembly consists of all the components and connectors required
for the sub LCD module, camera and main display. The third is a 4 layer PCB constructed using FR4 material. This board
contains the mini-SD and SIM card holders, as well as the vibrator.
