MODULATION CIRCUIT APC CIRCUIT • VOICE SIGNAL The APC (Automatic Power Control) circuit stabilizes transmit output power to prevent transmit output power level The modulation circuit FM-modulates the VCO oscillating change which is caused by load mismatching or heat effect, signal with the AF signals from the TX AF circuit.
A portion of VCO output is applied to the PLL IC via buffer 5-3 FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZER CIRCUITS and harmonic filter. The applied VCO output is divided according to the serial data including divid ratio from A VCO is an oscillator which its oscillation frequency is the CPU, at the prescaler and programmable divider.
