4-5 OTHER CIRCUITS

4-5-1 COMPOUNDER CIRCUIT (MAIN UNIT)
IC-F50/F51 have compounder circuit which can improve
S/N ratio and become wide dynamic range to suppress
the transmitting signal and to extend receiving signal. The
circuit is composed of the base band IC (MAIN unit; IC10).
(1) IN CASE OF TRANSMITTING
The audio signals from the microphone are applied to the
base band IC (IC10, pin 3) via microphone mute circuit
(FRONT unit; IC406), microphone amplifier (IC407), etc.
The signals are amplified at the amplifier section, and
are then applied to the compressor circuit to compress
the audio signals. The signals pass through (or bypass)
scrambler section, and are then amplified at limiter amplifier
section after being passed through the high-pass filter. The
amplified signals pass through the low-pass filter section,
and are then applied to the modulation circuit (Q13, D16–
D18) via the FM/PM switch (IC11), low-pass filter (IC5) and
D/A converter (IC6).
(2) IN CASE OF RECEIVING
The demodulated AF signals from the IF IC are applied
to the amplifier section of base band IC (IC10, pin 23),
and then pass through the low-pass and high-pass filter
section to suppress unwanted signals. The filtered signals
pass through (or bypass) scrambler section, and are then
applied to the expander circuit to expand AF signals. The
signals pass through (or bypass) scrambler IC (IC14), and
are then applied to the analog switch (IC13, pins 8, 11).
The signals are applied to the base band IC's amplifier
section (IC10, pins 19, 20), and are then applied to the AF
amplifier circuit.
