3-1 RECEIVER CIRCUITS
ANTENNA SWITCHING CIRCUIT AND ANTENNA
MATCHING CIRCUITS (CTRL AND TUNER UNITS)
RX signals from the antenna connector; [ANT1] (J5) or
[ANT2] (J6) are passed through the antenna switch (RL101)
and current detector (D81), and applied to the RF UNIT
via the tuner switches (RL104 and RL105), RX line switch
(RL103) and LPF.
If the automatic antenna tuning function is activated, the RX
signals from the current detection circuit (D81, 301, 302)
are applied to the antenna tuning network on the TUNER
UNIT to match the transceiver to the connected antenna
automatically.
The RX signals from the TUNER UNIT are applied to the RF
UNIT via the RX line switch (RL103) and LPF.
ATTENUATOR CIRCUITS (RF UNIT)
The RX signals from the CTRL UNIT are passed through
the RECEIVE ANTENNA IN/OUT CONNECTOR switches
(RL104, 105) and RX line cut switch (RL101), then passed
through or bypassed the attenuator circuits, according to the
setting.
The combination of attenuator (or bypass) that the RX
signals are passed through determines the entire attenuation
level; 0 dB, 6 dB, 12 dB or 18 dB.
The RX signals which are passed though or bypassed the
attenuator circuits are applied to the BPF circuits.
BPF CIRCUITS (RF UNIT AND BPF BOARD)
The RX signals from the attenuator circuits are passed
through an LPF or one of BPFs correspond to the operating
frequency, to remove unwanted out-of-band signals.
The table below shows filter which the RX signals are
passed in each frequency range.

The fi ltered RX signals are applied to the PREAMP BOARD.
PREAMPLIFIERS (PREAMP BOARD)
The RX signals from the BPF circuits are applied to or
bypassed the preamplifi er.
When the PREAMP FUNCTION is activated, the RX signals
are amplified by one of preamplifiers (Q4201, Q4202 or
Q4203).
The amplifi ed or bypassed RX signals are applied to the RF
UNIT again.
