UHF Theory of Operation: Transmitter 1.1.3 Antenna Switch The antenna switch circuit consists of two PIN diodes (CR101 and CR102), a pi network (C107, L104 and C106), and two current limiting resistors (R101, R170). In the transmit mode, B+ at PCIC (U102) pin 23 will go low and turn on Q111 where a B+ bias is applied to the antenna switch circuit to bias the diodes “on.”...

UHF Theory of Operation: Frequency Generation Circuitry The output of the post-RF amplifier filter which is connected to the passive double balanced mixer consists of T301, T302 and CR306. Matching of the filter to the mixer is provided by C381. After mixing with the first LO signal from the voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) using low side injection, the RF signal is down-converted to the 44.85 MHz IF signal.
UHF Theory of Operation: Synthesizer The Frequency Generation Circuitry is composed of two main ICs: • Fractional-N synthesizer (U201) • VCO/Buffer IC (U241) Designed in conjunction to maximize compatibility, the two ICs provide many of the functions that normally would require additional circuitry. The synthesizer block diagram illustrates the interconnect and support circuitry used in the region.
UHF Theory of Operation: Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO) The loop filter which consist of C231, C232, C233, R231, R232 and R233 provides the necessary dc steering voltage for the VCO and determines the amount of noise and spur passing through. In achieving fast locking for the synthesizer, an internal adapt charge pump provides higher current at pin 45 of U201 to put synthesizer within the lock range.

UHF Theory of Operation: Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO) The VCOBIC (U241) in conjunction with the Fractional-N synthesizer (U201) generates RF in both the receive and the transmit modes of operation. The TRB line (U241 pin 19) determines which oscillator and buffer will be enabled. A sample of the RF signal from the enabled oscillator is routed from U241 pin 12, through a low pass filter, to the prescaler input (U201 pin 32).

1. Unless otherwise stated, resistances are in Ohms (k = 1000), and capacitances are in picofarads (pF) or microfarads (µF). 2. DC voltages are measured from point indicated to chassis ground using a Motorola DC multimeter or equivalent. Transmitter measurements should be made with a 1.2 µH choke in series with the voltage probe to prevent circuit loading.

VHF Theory of Operation: Receiver The output of the post-RF amplifier filter is connected to the passive double balanced mixer which consists of T3301, T3302 and CR3301. Matching of the filter to the mixer is provided by C3317, C3318 and L3308. After mixing with the first LO signal from the voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) using high side injection, the RF signal is down-converted to the 44.85 MHz IF signal.
VHF Theory of Operation: Frequency Generation Circuitry Radio signal strength indicator, RSSI, a voltage signal, is used to drive Q3301 to saturation i.e. turned on. RSSI is produced by U3220 and is proportional to the gain of the RF amplifier and the input power to the radio.
VHF Theory of Operation: Synthesizer Synthesizer (Refer to the VHF Synthesizer Schematic Diagram on page 82.) The Fractional-N Synthesizer uses a 16.8MHz crystal (Y3761) to provide a reference for the system. The LVFractN IC (U3701) further divides this to 2.1MHz, 2.225 MHz, and 2.4 MHz as reference frequencies.
