4-3 PLL CIRCUITS
4-3-1 PLL CIRCUIT (MAIN UNIT)
A PLL circuit provides stable oscillation of the transmit fre-
quency and receive 1st LO frequency. The PLL circuit con-
sists of the PLL IC, charge pump, loop filter and reference
oscillator and employs a pulse swallow counter.
Oscillated signals from the VCO via the buffer amplifiers
(Q19, Q18) are prescaled in the PLL IC (IC12, pin 11) based
on the divided ratio (N-data). The PLL IC detects the out-of-
step phase using the reference frequency and outputs it
from pin 6 (IC12). The output signal is passed through the
charge pump (Q30–Q33) and loop filters (R154/C181,
R153/C179), and is then applied to the VCO circuit as the
lock voltage.
The accelerator switch (IC13) selects the effective loop filter
to accelerate the PLL lock up speed.
The lock voltage is also used for the receiver tunable band-
pass filters to match the filter's center frequency to the
desired receive frequency. The lock voltage is amplified at
the buffer amplifier (Q29) and is then applied to the band-
pass filters (D7–D11, D514) as center frequency control sig-
nal.
4-3-2 VCO CIRCUIT (MAIN UNIT)
The VCO circuit contains a separate Rx VCO (Q21, D19,
D20) and Tx VCO (Q23, D21, D22, D46). The oscillated sig-
nal is amplified at the buffer amplifiers (Q19, Q20) and is
then applied to the T/R switches (D17, D18). Then the
receive 1st LO (Rx) signal is applied to the 1st mixer (Q2) via
the LO amplifier (Q3) and the transmit (Tx) signal to the dri-
ver (Q17).
A portion of the signal from the buffer amplifier (Q19) is fed
back to the PLL IC (IC12, pin 11) via the another buffer
amplifier (Q18) as the comparison signal.
