Chapter 2 THEORY OF OPERATION Introduction This Chapter provides a detailed theory of operation for the VHF circuits in the radio. For details of the theory of operation and trouble shooting for the the associated Controller circuits refer to the Controller Section of this manual.
THEORY OF OPERATION The LDMOS PA is capable of supplying an output power of 7W with an input signal of 0.3W. The current drain is typically around 1800mA while operating in the frequency range of 136-174MHz. The power output is varied by changing the bias voltage. Antenna Switch The antenna switch circuit consists of two pin diodes, D3521 and D3551, a pi network (C3531, L3551 and C3550), and three current limiting resistors (R3571, R3572, R3573).
VHF Receiver VHF Receiver The VHF receiver consists of a front end, back end, and automatic gain control circuits. A block diagram of the VHF receiver is shown in Figure 2-2. Detailed descriptions of these features are contained in the paragraphs that follow. Antenna Pin Diode Varactor...
THEORY OF OPERATION Both the pre and post-RF amplifier varactor tuned filters have similar responses. The 3 dB bandwidth of the filter is about 12 MHz. This enables the filters to be electronically controlled by using a single control voltage which is DACRx. The output of the post-RF amplifier filter is connected to the passive double balanced mixer which consists of T3301, T3302, and CR3301.
VHF Receiver Automatic Gain Control (AGC) (Refer to the Receiver Front End and Receiver Back End schematic diagrams) The front end automatic gain control circuit provides automatic reduction of gain of the front end RF amplifier via feedback. This prevents overloading of backend circuits and is achieved by drawing some of the output power from the RF amplifier output.
THEORY OF OPERATION Frequency Generation Circuit (Refer to Figure 2-3 and the VHF Frequency Synthesizer schematic diagram) The Frequency Generation Circuit, shown in Figure 2-3, is composed of two main ICs, the Fractional-N synthesizer (U3701), and the VCO/Buffer IC (U3801). Designed in conjunction to maximize compatibility, the two ICs provide many of the functions that normally would require additional circuits.
Frequency Generation Circuit Synthesizer The Fractional-N Synthesizer, shown in Figure 2-4, uses a 16.8MHz crystal (Y3761) to provide a reference for the system. The LVFractN IC (U3701) further divides this to 2.1MHz, 2.225MHz, and 2.4MHz as reference frequencies. Together with C3761, C3762, C3763, R3761, and D3761, they build up the reference oscillator that is capable of 2.5 ppm stability over temperatures of -30 to 85°C.
THEORY OF OPERATION Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) (Refer to Figure 2-4 and the VHF Voltage Controlled Oscillator schematic diagram) The VCOB IC (U3801), shown in Figure 2-5, in conjunction with the Fractional-N synthesizer (U3701) generates RF in both the receive and the transmit modes of operation. The TRB line (U3801 pin 19) determines which oscillator and buffer are enabled.

Hi-Z/Float Hi-Z/Float (@1.6V) (@1.6V) In the receive mode, U3801 pin 19 is low or grounded. This activates the receive VCO by enabling the receive oscillator and the receive buffer of U3801.
2-10 THEORY OF OPERATION Voice Storage (GP1280) (Refer to Figure 2-6 and the VHF Voice Storage schematic diagram) The Voice Storage feature is offered as standard in the GP1280 and as an Option board for GP340/GP360/GP380 and GP640/GP680. The Voice Storage feature enables users to: Record and Playback Personal Memo (Reminders, Notes, etc.).

Voice Storage (GP1280) 2-11 Audio routing to the Voice Storage circuitry during receive message recording, message playback, personal memo recording and voice prompt transmit over the air are as follows: Received Message Recording The receive audio is tapped from the Rx_Aud_Rtn pin of the ASFIC_CMP during receive mode. Message Playback Message playback is via the FLAT_RX_SND pin of ASFIC_CMP.
