VHF (136–174 MHz) Circuit Description harmonics and spurious signals. Finally, it goes to the antenna for transmission. APC Circuit The APC circuit converts the drain current from the driver-stage PA and final-stage PA into a voltage, and then compares the voltage with the APC control voltage output by the MCU. The error voltage generated from the comparison adjusts the TX power by controlling the gate bias voltage of the driver-stage PA and final-stage PA.
Circuit Description VHF (136–174 MHz) RX Back-End The amplified RF signal goes to the A7, in which it is further amplified by the LNA and mixes with the VCO signal to generate a zero IF signal. The zero IF signal goes to the PGA and filter, and is converted into a digital signal by the ADC.

VHF (136–174 MHz) Troubleshooting Flowchart [5] Confirm the RF signal output at Q6000. For example, input a –123 dBm RF signal at the RF connector of CARKIT, the output amplitude of LNA_OUT2 at Q6000 is about –115 dBm. [6] U6001 and U6002 are toggle switches. When the radio is receiving signals normally, LNA_H_En will output a control voltage of 3.3 V, and Pin 4 of U6001 and Pin 6 of U6002 are at high level.
