3 - 31ST LOCAL OSCILLATOR CIRCUITS
The 1st local oscillator employs a premix system consist-
ing of a PLL and a crystal oscillator for each band.
1.
PLL (PHASE LOCKED LOOP) CIRCUITS
The PLL employs a mixed down type, and is locked in
10kHz steps. This output is divided into
1/10,
as a result,
1 kHz steps is obtained.
The local oscillator, 01 oscillates at 13. 666MHz with the
crystal unit X2. This signal is tripled at 02 and 03, thus
the local oscillator output, 123MHz is obtained. A varactor
diode, 01 is connected in series with X2, and voltages from
the RIT control and FREOUENCY SET control are applied
to the cathode and anode respectively. This varies the local
oscillator frequency slightly to provide the RIT function
and frequency Cillibration.
06 is the VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator), and oscil-
lates at a frequency between 132MHz and 139MHz. The

output signal is fed to the base of 04, PLL mixer, through
buffer amplifiers 07 and 08. To the emitter of 04, the
local oscillator signal is fed and mixed with the VCO signal
to mix down the VCO frequency.
The output signal from the mixer is fed to the low·pass
filter consisting of C23, L6 and C24, to filter out only the
signal below 15MHz. Then the signal is amplified to the
proper level (more than 3V poP) of the programmable
divider, IC1, by 05.
IC1, PLL IC, consists of the programmable divider, re-
ference frequency oscillator, fixed divider, phase detector,
etc. The reference frequency oscillator oscillates at 9.000
MHz, and its signal is divided into 10kHz and fed to the
phase detector as the reference frequency.
The signal from 05 is divided into 1 IN at the programmable
divider. The N data is sent from the CPU in the LOGIC
unit in sequence as shown in the illustration.

The divided signal is fed to the phase detector internally.
The phase detector detects the phase difference between
the 10kHz reference signal and the output signal from the
programmable divider, and proportionately puts out
positive/nagative pulse signal at pin 14.
This pulse signal is fed to the loop filter consisting of R28
through R30 and C34 through C36, then fed to the varactor
diode, 02, to lock the VCO frequency.
The locked VCO signal is fed to the buffer amplifier, 07,
and a part of this signal is fed to the
1/10
divider, IC2.
Then the divided signal, between 13.2MHz and 13.9MHz
with 1kHz steps, is fed to the mixer in the PREMIX unit
through low-pass filter consisting of C53 through C57, L10
and L 11, and attenuator consisting of R41 through R43.
2.
PREMIX CIRCUITS
The premix circuits are composed of offset frequency
oscillator for each band, mixer and band·pass filter for each
band.
01 through 011 are offset frequency oscillators. One of
them is selected by the band signal from the band switch

and oscillates at the frequency shown in the table for each
band.

The offset frequency signal is fed to the doubly balanced
mixer consisting of 01 through 04, and L 12 and L 13.
To the other port of the mixer, the PLL output signal is
applied to convert into the 1 st local oscillator signal.
