Circuit Description; Pll Synthesizer - Standard Horizon Matrix GX3000S Service Manual

Reception and transmission are switched by 16-bit MPU
IC Q3004 (M30626FHPGP) on the CNTL Unit. The re-
ceiver uses double-conversion superheterodyne circuit-
ry, with a 30.4 MHz 1st IF and 450 kHz 2nd IF. The 1st
local is produced by a PLL synthesizer, yielding the 30.4
MHz 1st IF. The 2nd local uses a 29.950 MHz crystal os-
cillator, yielding the 450 kHz 2nd IF. The 2nd mixer and
other circuits use a custom IC to convert and amplify the
2nd IF and detect FM to obtain demodulated signals.
During transmit, the PLL synthesizer oscillates at the de-
sired frequency directly, for amplification to obtain RF
power output. During transmit, voice modulation is ap-
plied to this synthesizer. Transceiver functions, such as
TX/RX control, PLL synthesizer settings, and channel pro-
gramming, are controlled using the MPU.
Receiver
Incoming RF signals from the antenna connector are de-
livered to the RF Unit, and pass through a low-pass filter
(LPF) consisting of coils L1009 & L1010 and capacitors
C1010, C1017, & C1038, and antenna switching diode
D1005 (XB15A308) for delivery to the receiver front end.
Signals within the frequency range of the transceiver are
then passed through a bandpass filter consisting of coils
L1001 & L1002 and capacitors C1005, C1007, C1024, C1030,
& C1044, before RF amplification by Q1018 (3SK294).
The amplified RF is then passed through a bandpass fil-
ter again consisting of coils L1003, L1004, & L1005 and
capacitors C1126, C1129, C1134, C1143, C1151, C1158, &
C1165, the pure in-band input signal is delivered to the
main 1st mixer which is composed of balun transformers
(T1001, T1002, and T1003) and quadrate FETs Q1032,
Q1033, Q1036, and Q1037 (all 2SK520-K41).
Buffered output from the MAIN VCO is amplified by
Q1021 (2SC5006) and Q1016 (2SC3356-R25) and low-
pass filtered by coils L1034 and L1036 and capacitors
C1179, C1180, C1182, C1183 and C1187, to provide a pure
1st local signal between 125.65 and 131.625 MHz for de-
livery to the main 1st mixer.
The 30.4 MHz 1st mixer product is amplified by Q1042
(2SC4400-3), then passes through monolithic crystal fil-
ters XF1003 and XF1004 (±6.5 kHz BW), and is amplified
by Q1047 and Q1051 (both 2SC4400-3).
After that, it delivered to the input of the FM IF subsystem
IC Q1049 (TA31136FN). This IC contains the 2nd mixer,
2nd local oscillator, limiter amplifier, FM detector, noise
amplifier, and squelch gates.
The 2nd local in the FM IF subsystem IC is produced from
crystal X1001 (29.950 MHz), and the 1st IF is converted to
450 kHz by the 2nd mixer and stripped of unwanted com-
ponents by ceramic filter CF1001.

Circuit Description

After passing through a limiter amplifier, the signal is
demodulated by the FM detector. Demodulated receive
audio from the FM IF subsystem IC is delivered to the AF
Unit, then amplified by Q2009 and Q2010 (both
2SC4154E). The amplified signal is passed through the
AF selector switch Q2012 (CD4066BPW) to the amplifier
Q2018 (LM2902PW). The amplified signal is passed
through the AF mute switch Q2012 (CD4066BPW) and
the electronic volume control IC Q2017 (M62421FP). The
adjusted audio signal is passed through the AF mute
switch Q2016 (RT1N441U) to the AF power amplifier
Q2019 (LA4425A).
The amplified audio signal is delivered to the 8 Ohms in-
ternal loudspeaker and external Speaker terminal in the
accessory cable.

PLL Synthesizer

The 1st Local signal maintains stability from the PLL syn-
thesizer by using a 29.950 MHz reference signal from crys-
tal X1001. PLL synthesizer IC Q1034 (TB31202FNG) con-
sists of a prescaler, reference counter, swallow counter,
programmable counter, a serial data input port to set these
counters based on the external data, a phase comparator,
and a charge pump.
The PLL synthesizer IC divides the 29.950 MHz reference
signal by 2396 using the reference counter (12.5 kHz com-
parison frequency). The reference oscillator feeds to the
PLL synthesizer IC Q1034 (TB31202FNG) for the 2nd lo-
cal signal.
The VCO output is divided by the prescaler, swallow
counter and programmable counter. These two signals are
compared by the phase comparator, and applied to the
charge pump.
A voltage proportional to their phase difference is deliv-
ered to the low-pass filter circuit, then fed back to the VCO
as a voltage with phase error, controlling and stabilizing
the oscillating frequency. This synthesizer also operates
as a modulator during transmit.
The MAIN VCO is consisted of Q1023 (2SK520-K41) and
varactor diodes D1008, D1009, D1010, and D1011 (all
HVC306B), which oscillates at 30.4 MHz below from the
receiving frequency. The MAIN VCO output passes
through buffer amplifier Q1021 (2SC5006) to obtain sta-
ble output, then applied to the main 1st mixer. The DC
supply for the MAIN VCO is regulated by Q1013
(2SC4154E).
The TX & SUB VCO is consisted of Q1031 (2SK520-K41)
and varactor diodes D1014, D1015, D1016, and D1017 (all
1SV286), which oscillates at 134.225 MHz for the CH70
receiving and the fundamental transmit frequency dur-
ing a transmit, with direct frequency-modulation using
