4-1 RECEIVER CIRCUITS
RF CIRCUIT (PA-A AND MAIN-A UNITS)
The RX signal from the antenna is passed through the SWR
detect circuit (PA-A UNIT; D5001, D5002), TX/RX line SW
(PA-A UNIT; RL5001) and LPF (PA-A UNIT; L5001, L5002,
C5101–C5105), and then applied to the MAIN-A UNIT.
The RX signal from the PA-A UNIT is passed through or
bypassed the attenuator circuit (MAIN-A UNIT; R1103,
R1106, R1108), RX mute SW (MAIN-A UNIT; Q1101,
D1107), TX/RX line SW (MAIN-A UNIT; D1108), and then
applied to the filter circuits.
The RX signal is passed through an LPF or one of BPFs,
depending on the operating frequency, to remove unwanted
out-of-band signals. The filtered RX signal is applied to or
bypassed the preamplifier circuit.
The RX signal from the filter circuits is applied to or
bypassed the preamplifier.
When the Preamplifier function is activated, the RX signal
is amplified by the preamplifier (MAIN-A UNIT; Q1116,
Q1117).
The amplified or bypassed RX signal is applied to the 1st
RX IF circuits.
1ST RX IF CIRCUIT (MAIN-A UNIT)
The RX signal from the preamplifier circuit is applied to the
1st RX IF mixer (Q1404–Q1407) to be mixed with the 1st
RX LO signal, resulting in the 64.455 MHz 1st RX IF signal.
The 1st RX IF signal is amplified by the 1st RX IF AMP
(Q1810) and passed through the 1st RX IF filter (FI1401).
The filtered 1st RX IF signal is amplified by another 1st RX
IF AMP (Q1414), and then applied to the 2nd RX IF circuits.
2ND RX IF CIRCUIT (MAIN-A UNIT)
The 1st RX IF signal from the 1st RX IF circuits is applied
to the 2nd RX IF mixer (D1812, D1813) to be mixed with
the 2nd RX LO signal, resulting in the 455 kHz 2nd RX IF
signal. The 2nd RX IF signal is passed through the trans-
former-coupled filter (L1446) and 2nd RX IF filter (FI1402),
and amplified by the 2nd RX IF AMPs (Q1415, Q1412 and
Q1413), and then applied to the 3rd RX IF circuits, through
the buffer (Q1411).
3RD RX IF CIRCUIT (MAIN-A UNIT)
The 2nd RX IF signal from the 2nd RX IF circuits is applied
to the 3rd RX IF mixer (IC1402) to be mixed with the 3rd RX
LO signal, resulting in the 36 kHz 3rd RX IF signal.
The 3rd RX IF signal is passed through the 3rd IF SW
(IC1403) and LPF (L1454. C1550, C1553), and then applied
to the demodulator circuits on the DSP1-A UNIT.
