VHF (136-174MHz 50W) Information Service Manual 15. VHF (136-174MHz 50W) Information 15.1 Transmitter Circuit The transmitter circuit is composed of power amplifier circuit and power control circuit. The former is used to amplify the VCO signal to the desired output power level, while the latter can keep the output power at the desired level, so as to protect the power amplifier from damage caused by over heat, antenna mismatch, and out-of-range voltage (over voltage or under voltage may result in damage to Q801, Q805, Q804, Q802 and Q803).
Service Manual VHF (136-174MHz 50W) Information maximum output power is 34.5dBm, and the maximum variable gain is 15dB. 15.1.4 Final Power Amplifier The final power amplifier consists of Q802 and Q803, with the maximum output power of 48.5dBm, and the maximum variable gain of 14dB. The input matching circuit is composed of C815, C839, R804, R806, R807, R813, R818 and R861, while the power combining circuit is composed of C820, C8330, C833, C831, C819, C812, C841 and C842.
VHF (136-174MHz 50W) Information Service Manual 15.1.8 Output Power Control The TX power is controlled by U801. The forward power is applied to the directional coupler, to output a voltage that can represent the forward power. The voltage together with the preset voltage feeds to U801 to output a voltage VGG, which can control both gate voltage and gain of Q804 and Q805, ensuring a constant power output.
Service Manual VHF (136-174MHz 50W) Information 15.2.1 Receiver Front-end RF signals feed to the low-pass filter to remove out-of-band signals, and are applied to the two-stage electrically tunable band-pass filter to get useful signals. After passing through the RF band-pass filter and LNA (Q6102), the RF signals together with the first LO signal feed to the mixer for the first frequency conversion, to generate the first IF signal (44.85MHz).
VHF (136-174MHz 50W) Information Service Manual the LC resonance loop (D702, L715 and C745). DSP (U302) gets the audio signal from IF IC (U701). Then this signal goes through U302 to output data signal, which is sent to U231 and PIN44 (SSI_DI) for digital-to-analog conversion. Finally, the output analog audio signal will be subjected to gain control, and then fed to the speaker.
