VCO - Voltage Controlled Oscillator

UHF Band 2 Voltage Controlled Oscillator Schematic Diagram
Figure 5-5: VCO Block Diagram
The VCOBIC (U241) in conjunction with the Fractional-N synthesizer (U201) generates RF in both
the receive and the transmit modes of operation. The TRB line (U241 pin 19) determines which
oscillator and buffer will be enabled. A sample of the RF signal from the enabled oscillator is routed
from U241 pin 12, through a low pass filter, to the prescaler input (U201 pin 32). After frequency
comparison in the synthesizer, a resultant CONTROL VOLTAGE is received at the VCO. This voltage
is a DC voltage between 3.5V and 9.5V when the PLL is locked on frequency.
