TX AMPLIFIERS
The buffer amplified signal from the LO SW (D5) is amplified
by; the pre-AMP, pre-drive AMP, drive AMP, and power AMP
in sequence, to obtain TX power. The amplified TX signal
is passed through the antenna SW and the LPF, which
eliminates harmonics, and then fed to the antenna.
APC CIRCUITS
D1 and D2 rectify a portion of the TX signal to direct current,
and the APC AMP compares the voltage and the TX power
control reference voltage, “T1.” The resulting voltage controls
the gain of the power and drive AMPs to keep the TX power
constant.
4-3 FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZER CIRCUITS
The RX VCO is composed of Q13, D11 and D12. The VCO
output signal is buffer-amplified by two buffers and applied
to the 1st IF mixer, via the LO SW (D6) and the LPF.
The TX VCO is composed of Q14 and D14–D16. The VCO
output signal is buffer-amplified by two buffers and applied
to the 1st IF mixer, via the LO SW (D6) and the LPF.
A portion of oscillated signal from each VCO is fed back to
the PLL IC via the buffer and the LPF.
The applied VCO output signal is divided and phase-
compared with a 15.3 MHz reference frequency signal from
the TCXO, which is also divided. The resulting signal is
output from the PLL IC, and DC-converted by the loop filter,
and then applied to the VCO as the lock voltage.
When the oscillation frequency drifts, its phase changes
from that of the reference frequency, causing a lock voltage
change to compensate for the drift in the VCO oscillating
frequency.
