THEORY OF OPERATION
4.2
Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO)
The VCOBIC (U251), shown in Figure 2-5, in conjunction with the Fractional-N synthesizer (U201)
generates RF in both the receive and the transmit modes of operation. The TRB line (U251 pin 19)
determines which oscillator and buffer are enabled. A sample of the RF signal from the enabled
oscillator is routed from U251 pin 12 through a low pass filter, to the prescaler input of the
synthesizer IC (U201 pin 32). After frequency comparison in the synthesizer, a resultant DC control
voltage is used to steer the VCO frequency. When the PLL is locked on frequency, this voltage can
vary between 3.0V and 9V. L251 and C252 further attenuate noise and spurs on the steering line
voltage.
In the receive mode, the TRB line (U251 pin 19) is low. This activates the receive VCO and the
receive buffer of U251, which operate within the range of 190.85 to 218.85 MHz. The VCO
frequency is determined by tank inductor L254, C253-C257, and varactor D251. The buffered RF
signal at U251 pin 8 is further amplified by Q280 and applied as RX_INJ to the low-pass injection
filter in the receiver front end circuit.
In the transmit mode, U251-19 is driven high by U201 pin 2, enabling the transmit VCO and buffer.
The 146-174 MHz RF signal from U251 pin 10 is applied as TX_INJ to the input of the transmitter
circuit via matching network C290-C291 and L291. TX VCO frequency is determined by L264,
C263-C267, and varactor D261. High-port audio modulation from the synthesizer IC is applied as
VCO_MOD to varactor D262 which modulates the transmit VCO.
