5-3 FREQUENCY SYNTHSIZER CIRCUITS
VCOs (MAIN-A UNIT)
The TX VCO which generates the TX signal is composed
by Q13, D16, D31, L25, L38, etc., and the frequency
modulation is carried out by applying modulation signals to
D18.
The RX VCO which generates the 1st LO signals is
composed by Q14, D33, D34, L26, L39, etc.
These two VCOs are switched by the VCO SW (Q15, 16)
using "RXC" signal.
The output signal from each VCO is amplifi ed by the buffer
AMP (Q11) and LO AMP (Q10), and then applied to the TX
or RX circuits.
A portion of generated signals is applied to the PLL IC (IC4)
via buffer AMP (Q12).

PLL (MAIN-A UNIT)
The applied VCO output is divided according to the serial
data including divide ratio from the CPU, at the prescaler
and programmable divider. In the same way, the reference
frequency signal from the reference frequency signal
oscillator is applied to the PLL IC and divide so that these
are the same frequency.
The frequency-matched signal is applied to the phase
comparator and phase-compared. The resulted phase
difference is detected as a phase-type signal, and level-
adjusted at the charge pump then output. The output pulse
type signal is passed through the loop filter to be converted
into the DC voltage (=Lock Voltage).
Applying the lock voltage to the variable capacitors
(VD) which composes a part of the resonator of VCO,
the capacitance of VDs changes corresponding to the
applied lock voltage. This causes the change of resonation
frequency that determines the VCO oscillating frequency to
keep the VCO frequency constant.
When the oscillation frequency drifts, its phase changes
from that of the reference frequency, causing a lock voltage
change to compensate for the drift in the VCO oscillating
frequency.
