SECTION 4 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION 4-1 RECEIVER CIRCUITS The RF signals from the bandpass filter are mixed with the 4-1-1 ANTENNA SWITCHING CIRCUIT (PA UNIT) 1st LO signals, where come from the RX VCO circuit via the The antenna switching circuit functions as a low-pass filter low-pass filter (L46, C396, C397), at the 1st mixer circuit while receiving and a resonator circuit while transmitting.
4-1-5 AF AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT (MAIN UNIT) • CTCSS AND DTCS The tone squelch circuit detects AF signals and opens the The AF amplifier circuit amplifies the demodulated AF sig- squelch only when receiving a signal containing a matching nals to drive a speaker. This transceiver employs the base subaudible tone (CTCSS or DTCS).
4-2-2 MODULATION CIRCUIT (MAIN UNIT) 4-2-4 APC CIRCUIT (PA AND MAIN UNITS) The modulation circuit modulates the VCO oscillating signal The APC circuit protects the drive and power amplifiers from (RF signal) using the microphone audio signals. excessive current drive, and selects output power of HIGH or LOW.
4-4 POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT The PLL IC contains a prescaler, programmable counter, programmable divider and phase detector, etc. The entered 4-4-1 MAIN UNIT VOLTAGE LINE signal is divided at the prescaler and programmable counter LINE DESCRIPTION section by the N-data ratio from the CPU. The divided signal is detected on phase at the phase detector using the refer- The voltage from the connected battery pack.
