SECTION 4 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION 4-1 RECEIVER CIRCUITS through the matching circuit (L15, L52) and a pair of crystal filters (FI1) in order to obtain selection capability and to pass 4-1-1 ANTENNA SWITCHING CIRCUIT only the desired signals. The filtered signal is applied to the The antenna switching circuit functions as a low-pass filter 2nd IF circuit after being amplified at the 1st IF amplifier while receiving and a resonator circuit while transmitting.
4-1-5 AF AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT A portion of the AF signals from the AF amplifier (IC2) pass through the low-pass filter (Q503) and are then applied to The AF amplifier circuit amplifies the demodulated AF sig- the CTCSS decoder inside the CPU (IC20, pin 43) via the nals to drive a speaker.
4-2-2 MODULATION CIRCUIT 4-2-4 APC CIRCUIT The modulation circuit modulates the VCO oscillating signal The APC circuit protects the power module (IC11) from a (RF signal) using the microphone AF signals. mismatched output load and stabilizes the output power. The AF signals from the level controller (IC5) change the The APC detector circuit detects forward signals and reflec- reactance of varactor diodes (D23 and D46) to modulate the tion signals at D3 and D1 respectively.
4-4 POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT The lock voltage is also used for the receiver tunable band- pass filters to match the filter’s center frequency to the VOLTAGE LINE desired receive frequency. The lock voltage is amplified at LINE DESCRIPTION the buffer amplifier (Q29) and is then applied to the band- pass filters (D7, D9–D11).
