4.3.2 Transmitter Circuit

1) Microphone Amplifier Circuit
Voice signal from the microphone goes through pre-emphasis circuit consisting of C109,
R110 and operational amplifier IC103 - 1/2. The level of the signal is limited by the D101
and adjusted in the RV101 and amplified in the IC103 - 2/2. Then it goes through the
active 4-stage LPF consisting of IC102 etc., and modulated in the VCO unit ( VCO1).
2) High Frequency Power Amplifier Circuit
RF signal from the VCO unit (VCO1) goes through the 10dB attenuator consisting of R27 -
29 and will be amplified by Q6. Output from Q6 will amplify drive power necessary for the
FET power module (IC1) in the Q5. FET power module (IC1) will be amplified and the RF
signal will be output to the antenna switching circuit. RF output from the FET power
module (IC1) can be changed by changing the voltage of IC1 pin 2.
3) APC Circuit
Diode D3 is monitoring a part of the FET power module's (IC1) output. The monitoring
signal will be output to IC101 via switching transistor Q1 and displays the "TX ON" on the
LCD. Voltage of monitoring signal will be compared and amplified between the set
standard voltage and IC2. Then the output voltage goes through buffer amplifier transistor
Q4 and will be connected to the pin 2 of FET power module (IC1) and make it a APC
control loop. Output power can be changed by controlling transistors Q2, Q3, and Q7 with
the CPU IC101 to change the set standard voltage.
