• FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZER
4-3 FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZER
The 2300H has two VCOs; TX VCO and RX VCO.
While transmitting, the TX VCO (Q13, D7–D9, L5) is activat-
ed. The oscillating frequency is set by the value of C89, L5,
D7 and D8. Applying the voltage to both D7 and D8, the wide
oscillating frequency range is obtained. The modulation sig-
nal is applied to D9 to obtain Frequency Modulation.
While receiving, the RX VCO (Q14, D10–D11, L6) is activat-
ed. The oscillating frequency is set by the value of C88, L6,
D10 and D11. Applying the voltage to both D10 and D11, the
wide oscillating frequency range is obtained.
Q6, Q7 and Q8 compose a power supply line SW which tog-
gles the TX and RX VCOs.

Q1
The output signal from each VCO is passed through the buf-
fer (Q17) and applied to the PLL IC (IC1).
IC1 phase-compares the output of TCXO (X1) and VCO, and
the phase-difference is output as the charge pump current.
The current is passed though the loop fi lter to be converted
into the lock voltage, which controls the oscillating frequency
of each VCO.
The output of Q17 is passed through the buffer (IC10), and
used as the TX/RX LO signal.
