5-2 TRANSMITTER CIRCUITS
TX AF CIRCUITS
The AF signal from the microphone (MIC signals) is passed
through the MIC mute SW (IC260A), amplified by MIC AMP
(IC200B), and then applied to the D/A converter (IC190),
through another MIC mute SW (IC260C).
The level-adjusted MIC signal is pre-emphasized by R201
and C385 to obtain +6 dB/octave of frequency response,
and then passed through the limiter (IC200A) to prevent
over deviation. The amplitude-limited MIC signal is filtered by
the splatter filter (IC200D), which removes 3 kHz and higher
signals, and then applied to the VCO (Q21, Q22, D22 and
D23) for frequency modulation.
TX AMPLIFIERS
The frequency-modulated signal from the VCO (Q21, Q22,
D22 and D23) is passed through the buffers (Q23 and Q24)
and LO SW (D50), and then sequentially amplified by the
buffer AMP (Q50) and pre-drive AMP (Q53).
The amplified signal is splitted by the power splitter (L100,
L101, R463, C445 and C446) and applied to the power
AMPs (Q54 and Q55). The amplified signals are combined
at the power combiner (L107, L108, R465, C457 and C458)
to obtain the TX output power.
The amplified TX signal is passed through the ANT SW
(D52) and LPF (L81, L82, C83–C86 and C89), and then
applied to the antenna.
APC CIRCUIT
A portion of TX output signal is rectified by D91 to produce
the DC voltage which represents the TX power level.
The APC AMP (IC50) compares the voltage and TX power
setting voltage from the D/A converter (IC190). The resulted
voltage from the APC AMP controls the gain of both driver
AMP (Q53) and power AMPs (Q54 and Q55), to keep the TX
output power constant.
