Description of Frequency Determining and Stabilizing Circuit 4-1. Introduction The Frequencies for transmitter and receiver first local frequencies are all derived from a signal 4.5MHz crystal by means of a phase locked loop(PLL). The first local oscillator frequencies are 16.270MHz(CH1) to 16.710MHz(CH40). The second local frequency is fixed at 10.240MHz to generate second IF 455KHz.

Transmit CH 1 , 13.4825 MHz 26.965 MHz Transmit CH 40 , 13.7025 MHz 27.405 MHz Since all frequencies are obtained from the crystal controlled PLL oscillator, all outputs are coherent with the crystal oscillator frequency and matching the sample percentage accuracy. Note that the reference frequency of 5KHz(receiver) and 2.5KHz(transmitter) is obtained by dividing the 4.5MHz by 900 times and 1800 times See Table 1 for transmitter/receiver mode VCO frequencies.

4-3. Descriptions of Each Block 4-3-1. Introduction The synthesizer is implemented with the following components; PLL IC (IC301) X-TAL (X301) VCO, VARICAP DIODE (D301) IC1301 is CMOS LSI that includes most of PLL block. The Q301, L301, C311, C312, C313, C314, varicap diode D301 are clap oscillator circuit to operate as a VCO of the IC301.

4-3-7. Transmitter Doublers The output signal of Q302, L302 goes to an amplifier with tuning circuit Q701, L701, L702 which doubles incoming 13MHz signals. 4-3-8. Switching of Turning Capacitor in VCO The VCO circuit must tune with a wide range of frequencies 13.4825MHz ~ 13.7025MHz for transmitter and 16.27MHz ~16.71MHz for receiver.

4-5. Description of other Circuits 4-5-1. Transmitter RF Amplification RF carrier frequencies are obtained at the output of doublers amplifier Q701 and turning IFT coil L701, L702. The input of VCO frequencies 13MHz is selected at the doublers output, which creates the necessary 27MHz.

4-5-2. Receiver Overload protection is provided to receiver’s semiconductors by diode D101. These diodes have a little effect on the incoming signal from another CB station; they protect the receiver from stray transmitter energy. In the receiver mode of operation, Q923 transistor is turned on. Also bias voltage is applied to Q101, Q102, Q103, Q106.
