SECTION 4. CIRCUIT
DESCRIPTION
4-1 RECEIVE CIRCUITS
RF CIRCUITS
The received signal from the antenna connector passed
through the LPF (L90, L94, L96, C409, C418 and C428). The
fi ltered signal is applied to either the VHF or UHF band’s RF
circuit.
VHF BAND (118–174 MHz)
The received VHF band signal from the LPF (L90, L94, L96,
C409, C418 and C428) is passed through the LPF (L79, L83,
L87, C378, C386 and C394) and TX/RX SW (D66, D69 to
D71 and D77), and applied to the PRE-AMP (Q24).
• Left band
The amplifi ed signal is passed through the attenuator (D34)
and tuned BPF (D28, D88, L31, L34, C119, C127, C128 and
C135), and applied to the RF AMP (Q20). The amplifi ed sig-
nal is passed through the tuned BPF (D20, D87, L10, L18,
C60, C71, C74, C79 and C86), and then applied to the 1st
mixer (Q145).
• Right band
The amplifi ed signal is passed through the attenuator (D33)
and tuned BPF (D27, D85, L23, L32, L33, C116, C125, C126
and C132), and applied to RF AMP (Q19). The amplifi ed sig-
nal is passed through the tuned BPF (D19, D86, L9, L17,
C57, C69, C70, C77 and C84), and then applied to the 1st
mixer (Q143).
UHF BAND (375–550 MHz)
The received UHF band signal from the LPF (L90, L94, L96,
C409, C418 and C428) is passed through the HPF (L84, L88,
C392, C395 and C429), TX/RX SW (D68, D73, D75, D84,
L86, L92, C387, C396 and C413), and applied to the PRE-
AMP (Q23).
• Left band
The amplifi ed signal is passed through the attenuator (D32)
and tuned BPF (D22, D24, D26, D30, L21, L28 and L101),
and applied to the RF AMP (Q18). The amplifi ed signal is
passed through the tuned BPF (D12, D16, D91, D92, L4,
L12, L16, L102, C33, C65 and C67), and then applied to the
1st mixer (Q146).
• Right band
The amplifi ed signal is passed through the attenuator (D31)
and tuned BPF (D21, D23, D25, D29, L22, L27 and L99), and
applied to the RF AMP (Q17). The amplifi ed signal is passed
through the tuned BPF (D11, D15, D89, D90, L3, L11, L15,
L100, C32, C63 and C66), and then applied to the 1st mixer
(Q144).
