Preamplifier Circuit; Configuration Of The Preamplifier; Preamplifier 1 Circuit - Kenwood TS-990S Service Manual

Preselector circuit
3-5. Preamplifi er circuit
The preamplifier circuit consists of two amplifiers: pre-
amplifier 1 and preamplifier 2. Preamplifier 1 operates at
30kHz to 21.5MHz, and has a gain of approximately 9 dB.
Preamplifi er 2 operates at 21.5 to 60MHz, and has a gain of
approximately 22 dB.
Preamplifier 1 is a noiseless feedback amplifier of the
transformer-feedback type, and incorporates a push-pull cir-
cuit in order to improve the IMD (Intermodulation Distortion)
characteristics. Preamplifi er 2 uses a bipolar transistor (Q20)
and forms a grounded emitter circuit.
The preamplifi er can be passed by turning off the P.AMP
display with the [P.AMP] key (Refer to Table 8.).
