1ST RX IF CIRCUITS (RF UNIT)
The RX signals from the PREAMP BOARD are applied
to the splitter (L904) to divide the received signals for
dualwatch operation.
The separated RX signals are passed through the LPF
which removes unwanted signals (60 MHz and higher), and
amplifi ed by the RF AMP (Main readout; Q1201, 1202/Sub
readout; Q1001, 1002), then applied to the 1st RX IF mixer
(Main readout; Q1203–1206/Sub readout; Q1003–1006).
The RX signals are converted into the 1st RX IF signal by
being mixed with 1st RX LO signals (64.485–124.455 MHz)
from the PLL UNIT.
The converted 1st RX IF signals are passed through the
2-staged attenuator (Main readout; D1201–1203/Sub

2ND RX IF CIRCUITS (MAIN UNIT)
The 1st RX IF signal from the 1st RX IF circuits is divided
into two paths, and each signal is applied to the 2nd RX
IF mixers (Image reduction mixer; D3202/D3201) to be
converted into the 2nd RX IF signal, by being mixed with the
2nd RX LO signal (64.494 MHz) from the PLL UNIT.
The image reduction mixer removes image frequency
components by using LO signals which are 90 degrees
phase-shifted from each other.
The converted 2nd RX IF signals are amplifi ed independently
by the buffer (Q3202/Q3201) and IF AMP (IC3203).
These amplifi ed 2nd RX IF signals are 90 degrees phase-
shifted from each other by the phase shifter (IC3202; pins
8-10, pins 12–14). These phase-shifted 2nd RX IF signals
are combined by the combiner (IC3202; pins 5–7) to be
converted into the 3rd RX IF signal.

1st RX IF signals, and amplified by 1st RX IF AMP (Main
readout; Q1208/Sub readout; Q1008).
These amplified 1st RX IF signals are combined by the
hybrid combiner (L1018), and applied to the 1st IF filter
circuits.
The combined 1st IF signal is passed through one of the
1st IF filters on the MCF-N/-M/-W BOARDS which has
different passband widths. The fi lter to be passed through is
according to the IF fi lter setting.
The fi ltered 1st RX IF signal is applied to the RF UNIT again,
and passed through the LPF and amplified by the RX IF
AMP (MAIN UNIT: 3601–3603).
The amplifi ed 1st RX IF signal is then applied to the 2nd RX
IF circuits.

The converted 3rd RX IF signal is amplified by the 3rd IF
AMP (IC3201), and passed through the limiter (IC3002) and
balance-unbalance converter (Balun; IC4001/IC4002), then
applied to the demodulator circuits.
DEMODULATOR CIRCUITS AND DSP (MAIN UNIT)
The 3rd RX IF signal from the 3rd RX IF circuits is applied
to the A/D converter (IC4004) to be converted into the digital
signal.
The converted digital signal is applied to the DSP (IC5001),
and demodulated and processed.
The demodulated signal is applied to the D/A converter
(IC4301) to be converted into the analog signal, then applied
to the buffer amplifi er (IC4401; pins 1–3).
The buffer amplified AF signals are applied to the RX AF
circuits.
