1 Introduction
1.1 Documentation overview
This device specification defines two RF transceivers: the WTR4605 and the WTR4905 devices.
Throughout this document, the devices are referred to as the WTR4x05 device when material
being presented applies to both of them. The WTR variants are distinguished by the airlink
technologies they support:
WTR4605 – 3GPP2 CDMA 1X to DOrA, 3GPP WCDMA Rel 99 to DC-HSPA+,
3GPP GSM to EDGE, and TD-SCDMA
WTR4905 – All airlinks supported by WTR4605, plus 3GPP LTE FDD and TDD
Technical information for the WTR4x05 wafer-level transceiver is primarily covered by the
documents listed in Table1-1. All documents should be studied for a thorough understanding of
the device and its applications. Released WTR4x05 device documents are available from the
CDMATech Support website at https://support.cdmatech.com.
