The quadrature detector is a detection method which uses a demodulated AF signals, the squelch circuit switches the ceramic discriminator (X2). AF mute swithch and AF power amplifier controller ON and OFF. The demodulated AF signals are output from pin 9, and applied to the AF cricuits.
4-2 TRANSMITTER CIRCUITS The CTCSS/DTCS signals are generated by the CPU (IC307) 4-2-1 MICROPHONE AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT and output from pins 89–91 (“CENC0,” “CENC1,” ”CENC2”). The microphone amplifier circuit amplifies the audio signals The CTCSS/DTCS signals are passed through 3 regis- from microphone within +6 dB/oct pre-emphasis characteris- ters (R374–R376) to change its wave form.
4-3 PLL CIRCUITS A portion of the signal from the buffer amplifier (Q6) is fed 4-3-1 PLL CIRCUIT (MAIN UNIT) back to the PLL IC (IC1, pin 6) via the buffer amplifier (Q9) The PLL circuit provides stable oscillation of the transmit and the BPF (Q1, D1, D2, L2, L56, L57, L302, C12, C15, frequency and receive 1st LO frequency.
4-5 DIGITAL CIRCUIT (IC-F70DT/DS only) The audio signals from the DSP UNIT are applied to the base band IC (MAIN UNIT; IC301, pin 20) after being • WHILE RECEIVING passed through the digital/analog switch (MAIN UNIT; IC302 ).
