GENERAL
DESCRIPTION
The PLL UNIT
generates a
1st
LO
signal
(70.951
5~
100.4515
MHz
variable)
and
2nd
LO
signal
(61.44
MHz
fixed)
used
in
the
MAIN
UNIT.
The
10-725
uses a
dual loop
PLL
system.
A
main
loop
PLL
uses 4
VOO
circuits for
all
HF
band coverage
within
512
kHz
steps.
A
sub
loop
PLL
uses a
DOS
(Direct
Digital
Synthesizer)
system
for
512 kHz coverage
within
10
Hz
steps.
The
DDS
system
provides
a
rapid
lockup time
and
high
quality
frequency
oscillation.
4-3-2
REFERENCE
OSCILLATOR
CIRCUIT
(PLL UNIT)
A
30.72
MHz
reference frequency
is
produced by
the
oscillator
033
and
X2.
The
reference frequency,
buffer-
amplified
at
034,
is
divided
by
2
at
1015
and
is
then
applied
to
the
PLL
circuit
as
the
PLL
reference frequency.
The
signal oscillated at
033
is
multiplied
by
2
at
Q36.
The
resulting
61.44
MHz
signal
is
filtered
at
the
bandpass
filter
and
is
then
applied
to
the
MAIN UNIT
via
P4
as
the
2nd
LO
signal.
4-3-3
MAIN
LOOP
(PLL UNIT)
The main
loop
uses a
PLL
10 (1013)
which
contains
a
programmable
divider,
phase
detector,
data
shift
register
and
data
latch
circuits.
The
main
loop
generates
70.951
5~1
00.451 5
MHz
signals
in
512
kHz
steps.
Because
the
sub
loop
produces 10
Hz
steps,
the
PLL
produces a 30
MHz
frequency range
in
10
Hz
steps.
The
oscillated signal at
one
of
the
4
VOOs
(015,
017,
019,
021
;
see
Section
4-3-4
for details)
is
amplified
at
023.
The
signal
is
mixed
with
the
sub
loop
output
(fm:
62.05~62.561 99
MHz)
at
1016.
023
is
an
isolator
which
ensures
that
the
mixer
input
does
not
affect
the
VCO
output.
The
mixed
signal
is
amplified
at
027
and
is
then
filtered
at
the low-pass
filter
(L23~L25, 092,
C93,
C99~C103).
The
filtered signal,
amplified
at
026,
is
divided
by 4
at
1014
and
is
then applied
to
the
PLL
10
(IC13).
The phase
of
the divided
signal at
IC14,
detected
at
the
PLL
10 (1013)
using
a reference frequency
(fpEp)
of
512
kHz,
is
then output
from
pin
17.
The 512 kHz
frequency
is
obtained
from
the reference
oscillator (033).
30.72
MHz
oscillated at
033,
is
divided
by 2
at
IC15 and
divided
by 30
at
the
programmable
divider section of IC13.
The phase
detected
signal
is
then converted
to
the
lock
voltage
at
the loop
filter
(Q12~Q14), and
applied
to the
VCO.
Thus, the
VCO
output
(PLL
output)
is
locked
to
produce
stable
oscillation.
The PLL
oscillation
frequency
is
obtained by
the
following
calculation:
fv
=
fLO
+
NTXfREF

loop output

4-3-4
VCO
CIRCUIT
(PLL UNIT)
The
transceiver's
C/N
ratio
is
determined by
the
VCO
and
the loop
filter.
4
VCO
circuits
keep
the low noise
and
reduce
spurious emissions.
016, 018,
020
and
022
are
VCO
switches
which
select
the
operating
VCO
with
"VC01
"~"VC04"
lines.
4-3-5
SUB LOOP
(PLL UNIT)
The sub
loop
uses
the
DDS
system
that
generates
62.05~62.561 99
MHz
signals
in
10
Hz
steps.
The
oscillated signal at
the
VCO
(029)
is
buffer-amplified
at
030
and mixed
with the
2nd
LO
signal (61.44
MHz)
at
IC17.
The
resulting signal
passes
through the low-pass
filter,
is
amplified
at
032, and
is
then
applied
to
the
DDS
UNIT.
The
output pulse-type
signal
from
the
DDS
UNIT
passes
through the loop
filter
(R133,
R134, C114, C115,
L42)
where
it
is
converted
into
a
DC
signal
(lock voltage).
The
lock voltage
is
applied
to
the
VCO
to lock
the
oscillating
frequency.
