4-1 RECEIVER CIRCUITS
RF CIRCUITS
The RX signal from the antenna is passed through the LPF
and antenna SW, then filtered by the 2-staged tuned BPF
to eliminate unwanted out-of-band signal. The filtered RX
signal is amplified by the RF AMP, and filtered by another
2-staged tuned BPF to obtain a good image response, then
applied to the 1st IF circuits.
The tuned BPFs are tuned to the RX frequency by applying
adequate tuning voltages; “T1” and “T2” to the variable
capacitors.
1ST IF CIRCUITS
The RX signal from the RF circuits is applied to the 1st IF
mixer and mixed with the 1st LO signal from the RX VCO,
resulting in the 46.35 MHz 1st IF signal. The 1st IF signal is
filtered by the crystal filter, amplified by the 1st IF AMP, then
applied to the 2nd IF circuits.
2ND IF CIRCUITS AND DEMODULATOR
The signal from the 1st IF circuits is applied to the IF
demodulator IC which contains the 2nd IF mixer, 2nd IF
AMP, FM detector, etc. in its package.
The 1st IF signal is applied to the 2nd IF mixer and mixed
with the 2nd LO signal resulting in the 450 kHz 2nd IF
signal.
The 2nd LO signal is generated by tripling the 15.3 MHz
reference frequency signal oscillated by the reference
frequency oscillator (TCXO).
The converted 2nd IF signal is filtered by the crystal filter/
filters to eliminate unwanted signal, and amplified by the
2nd IF AMP, then demodulated by the detector circuit which
employs a discriminator as the phase shifter.
The demodulated AF signal is applied to the RX AF circuits.
