General This manual is intended for use by experienced technicians familiar with similar types of commercial grade communications equipment. It contains main required service information and data for the equipment. The following precautions are recommended for personal safety: DO NOT transmit until all RF connectors are verified secure and any open connectors are properly terminated.
The receiver utilizes double conversion. The first IF is 38.85MHz and the second IF is 450kHz. The first local oscillator signal is supplied from the PLL circuit. The PLL circuit in the transmitter generates the necessary frequencies. Fig.1 shows the frequencies. RPU416A frequency range: 450MHz—470MHz...

450KHz ANTSW SYSTEM 38.85MHz multiply TCXO 12.8MHz Fig.1 Frequency configuration 2. Receiver The receiver is double conversion superheterodyne. 1) Front-end RF amplifier An incoming signal from the antenna is applied to a Preamplifier (Q203) after passing through a transmit/receive switch circuit (K102 and D103 are off) and a 3-pole LC filter. After the signal is amplified (Q203), the signal is filtered by a band pass filter (a3-pole LC filter) to eliminate unwanted signals before it is passed to the first mixer.

RPU416A Circuit Description signal. The second IF signal is then fed through a 450kHz ceramic filter (CF200) to further eliminate unwanted signals before it is amplified and FM detected in IC200. 4) AF amplifier The recovered AF signal obtained from IC200 is amplified by IC300 (1/4), filtered by the IC300 low-pass filter (2/4) and IC300 high-pass filter (3/4) and (4/4), and de-emphasized by R303 and C306.

PLL circuit 2) VCO The operating frequency is generated by Q4 in transmit mode and Q3 in receive mode. The oscillator frequency is controlled by applying the VCO control voltage, obtained from the phase comparator, to the varactor diodes (D2 and D4 in transmit mode and D1 and D3 in receive mode) .

RPU416A Circuit Description The resulting signal goes to the VCO through the VCO modulation terminal for direct FM modulation. (See Fig. 6) 2) QT/DQT encoder A necessary signal for QT/DQT encoding is generated by IC403 and FM-modulated to the PLL reference signal.
