Description Of Frequency Determining And Stabilizing Circuit

Introduction

THE FREQUENCIES FOR TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER LOCAL FREQUENCIES ARE ALL DERIVED A SIGNAL

4.0 [MHz] CRYSTAL BY MEANS OF A PHASE LOCKED LOOP. THE FIRST LOCAL OSCILLATOR FREQUENCIES ARE

16.29 [MHz] (CH.1) TO 16.55 [MHz] (CH.80). THE SECOND LOCAL FREQUENCY IS FIXED AT 10.6950 [MHz] TO

GENERATE SECOND IF 455 [KHz]. DURING TRANSMIT, THE VCO OF THE PLL OPERATES 13.4925[MHZ] (CH.1) TO

13.6225 [MHz] (CH.8) THE VCO FREQUENCY GOES TO THE DOUBLER CIRCUIT Q103, L10, L11 WHICH DOUBLES THE

FREQUENCY TO GENEGATE 26.985 [MHz] (CH.1) TO 27.245 [MHz] (CH.8).

DESCRIPTIONS OF EACH BLOCK

(1) INTRODUCTION

THE SYNTHESIZER IS IMPLEMENTED WITH THE FOLLOWING

COMPONENTS : PLL IC (IC4), X-TAL (X 2), VCO, VARICAP DIODE (D13)

IC1 IS A CPU THAT INCLUDES LCD DRIVER AND AII OF CONTROL CIRCUIT.

THE PLL IC (IC4) OF PLL BLOCK, THE Q36, L7, C91, C92, C85, C90,VARICAP DIODE D13 ARE CLAPP OSCILLATOR

CIRCUIT TO OPERATE AS A VCO .Q35 IS A SWITCHING TRANSISTOR TO CONNECT OR DISCONNECT THE TUNING

CAPACITOR IN THE VCO OSCILLATOR TANK CIRCUIT FOR TRANSMITTER OR RECEIVER. Q38 WORKS AS A BUFFER

AMP FOR RX LOCAL FREQUENCIES (16 [MHz]) AND TX CARRIER GENERATING FREQUENCIES (13 [MHz]).

(2) REFERENCE FREQUENCY

THE CRYSTAL, X2(4.0 [MHz]) AND OTHER COMPONENTS AT PIN 1 AND 16 OF IC4 CAN MAKE A REFERENCE

FREQUENCY OSCILLATOR WITH INTERNAL AMPLIFIER.

(3) VCO

Q36 AND SURROUNDING PARTS ARE CONSISTING A CLAP OSCILLATOR WORKS AS A VCO OF IC4 WITH

APPROPRIATE CONTROL VOLTAGE ON D13, THE VCO CAN BE OSCILLATE OVER THE REQUIRED RANGE OF

13.4925[MHz] TO 16.55 [MHz].

(4) PROGRAMMABLE DIVIDER AND ITS CONTROL

THE CPU(IC1) AND PLL IC (IC4) COMMUNICATE BY SERIEL DATA.

THE PROGRAMMABLE INPUTS FOR EACH CHANNELS ARE SETTED CPU (IC1).

EACH INPUT SIGNAL TO CONTROL THE PLL IC IS DONE WITH THE PROVIDED KEY INPUT PINS PIN 36, 37, AND

PIN38 OF IC1.

(5) PHASE DETECTOR AND VCO CONTROL

THE PHASE DETECTOR IS A DIGITAL PHASE COMPARATOR WHICH COMPARES THE PHASE OF THE REFERENCE

SIGNAL WITH PROGRAMMABLE DIVIDER OUTPUT SQUARE WAVES AND DEVELOPS A SERIES OF PULSES WHOSE

DC LEVEL DEPENDS ON THE PHASE ERROR OF EACH SIGNAL.

THE PHASE DETECTOR PULSE OUTPUT IS FED TO AN ACTIVE LOW PASS FILER AND RC LOW PASS FILTER OUTPUT

SIGNAL OF IC4 IS FILTERED AND FED TO VARICAP D13 CONTROL THE VCO FREQUENCY.

(6) TRANSMITTER / RECEIVER BUFFER AMP

OUTPUT SIGNAL OF Q36 IS FED INTO THE BUFFER AMP Q38, L8 TO INCREASE THE STRENGTH OF TX CARRIER

FREQUENCY AND 1 st LOCAL FREQUENCIES.

(7) TRANSMITTER DOUBLER

THE OUTPUT SIGNAL OF Q38, L8GOES TO AN AMPLIFIER WITH TUNING CIRCUIT Q103, L10, L11 WHICH DOUBLES

INCOMING 13 MHz SIGNALS.

(8) SWITCHING OF TUNING CAPACITOR IN VCO

THE VCO CIRCUIT MUST TUNE WITH A WIDE RANGE OF FREQUENCIES 13.4925 ~ 13.6225 [MHz] FOR TRANSMITTER

AND 16.29 ~ 16.550 [MHz] FOR RECEIVER. TO COMPLY ABOVE RANGE OF VCO, THE TUHING CAPACITANCE

SHOULD SWITCHED FOR TRANSMISSION OR RECEPION.

THE TUNING CIRCUIT CONSISTS WITH L7, C91, C92, C85, C90, WHEN THE VCO IS WORKING AS A RECEIVER Q35

BECOMES TURN OFF.

SO, L7 AND D13 MAKES TUNING FUNCTION.

WHEN TRANSMITTING Q406 BECOMES ON.

SO, L7 AND THE PARALLEL CAPACITANCE OF C89 AND D13 MAKE TURNING FUNCTION.

(9) RECEIVER LOCAL OSCILLATOR OUTPUTS

1 ST MIXER : THE SECONDARY OUTPUT SIGNALS OF L3 IS INJECTED TO THE SOURCE OF

1 ST MIXER Q4, Q5 IN THE 1 ST IF MIXER SECTION.

2 ND MIXER : THE OUTPUT OF 10.695 [MHz] OSCILLATER CIRCUIT WITH X2 IS INJECTED

INTO THE IF MODULE (IC3).

INCOMING IF SIGNAL AND 10.695 [MHz] SIGNAL ARE MIXED INSIDE THE IF

IC TO EXTRACT 2 ND IF SIGNAL 455 [MHz].

FM SIGNALS ARE RECOVERED WITH ENVELOPE DETECTOR.

FREQUENCY STABILITY

LET : Fo = CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR FREQUENCY

Fr = PHASE DETECTOR REFERENCE FREQUENCY

Fvco = VCO FREQUENCY

Ft = TRANSMIT FREQUENCY

THEN : Fr = Fo/1800

AND UNDER LOCKED CONDITIONS : Fr = Fvco / N

Where , “N” IS THE PROGRAMMABLE DIVIDER DIVIDE RATIO.

THEN : Fvco = N X Fr

FROM WHICH IT CAN BE SEEN, THE PERCENTAGE ERROR IN Ft IS THE SAME AS THE PERCENTAGE ERROR IN Fo.

THE STSBILITY OF THE CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR IS DETERMINED PRIMARILY BY THE ITSELF AND HAVING PASSIVE

COMPONENTS OF THE OSCILLATOR.

THE CHOICE OF CRYSTAL AND COMPONENTS IS SUCH THAT THE REQUIRED FREQUENCY STABILITY IS

MAINTAINED OVER THE REQUIRED VOLTAGE AND TEMPERATURE RANGE.

DESCRIPTION OF OTHERCIRCUITS

TRANSMITTER

(1) TX AMPLIFICATION

THE OUTPUT OF DOUBLER AMP Q103 IS FED THROUGH TUNING IFT L10 AND L11 TO THE BASE OF PRE DRIVER

AMP Q104.

THE OUTPUT IS THEN SUPPLIED THROUG TUNING CIRCUIT L12 TO RF DRIVER AMP Q107. THE OUTPUT OF Q107 IS

SPLITTED WITH TUNING CIRCUIT L13, C112, C84 AND GOES TO THE BASE OF FINAL RF AMP Q108.

THE OUTPUT OF Q108 IS SUPPLIED TO THE ANTENNA THROUGH L-C TUNING CIRCUIT.

(2) CIRCUIT FOR SUPPRESSION OF SPURIOUS RADIATION

THE TUNING CIRCUIT BETWEEN THE OUTPUT OF FINAL AMP Q108 AND ANTENNA,

7-STAGE “LPF” NETWORK L16, L17, L18, L1, C139, C144, C79, C83, C128, C129, C131, C142, C133, C134 SERVES

AS A SPURIOUS RADIATION SUPPRESSOR

THIS NETWORK ALSO SERVES TO MATCH THE IMPEDANCE BETWEEN TX POWER AMP Q303 AND THE ANTENNA

(3) CIRCUITS FOR LIMITING POWER

AFTER FINISHED ALL ALIGNMENT, TO CONSTANT VOLTAGE SUPPLY CIRCUIT LIMITS THE AVAILABLE POWER 4 [W]

OR SLIGHTLY LESS.

RV5 AND CORRESPONDING THREE TRANSISTORS CONTROL SUPPLY VOLTAGE OF RF AMPLIFIER AND OTHER

CIRCUITS.

TUNE ALL THE TRIMMING PARTS FOR MAXIMUM INDICATION OF RF POWER METER AND ADJUST RV5 TO MAKE 4

[W] INDICATION OF RF POWER METER. THE TUNING IS ADJUSTED SO THAT THE ACTUAL POWER IS FROM 3.8 TO

4.0 [W]. THERE ARE NO OTHER ADDITIONAL CONTROLS FOR ADJUSTING THE TX OUTPUT POWER.

(4) MAX DEVIATION CONTROL

DEVIATION SIGNALS ARE FILTRED WITH RC NETWORK AND GOES TO THE OP AMP IC IC5A MAKE NOMINAL

SIGNAL LEVEL TO ACHIEVE WANTED MODULATION. TO CONTROL INCOMING AUDIO SIGNAL, DIODE D17 AND

CORRESPONDING LIMITER CIRCUIT CONTROLS WITH PROPORTIONAL TO SAMPLED AUDIO OUTPUT LEVEL

ADJUST RV4 SHALL NOT EXCEED ± 2[KHz] MAXDEVIATION UNDER 1.25 [KHz] AF 20 dB UP FROM 1 kHz MOD LEVEL
