A40 PHASE LOCK LOOP 2 (PLL2) VCO,
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The A40 Phase Lock Loop 2 VCO assembly accepts a tuning current
f'rom the 'A43 PLL 2 Discriminator board to adjust the VCO
frequency between 150 and 75 MHz. The output of the VCO is sent
to the A42 PLL2 Divider and also is divided by 500 and sent to
the A43 PLL2 Discximinator. In addition an output is sent to the
A39 PLL3 Up Converter that is divided by either 25 or 500,
depending on the sweep width selected.
BIAS NETWORK/SO kHz LOW PASS FILTER
A
Cl, C2, C3, Ll, and L2 form a low pass (Chebyshev) filter.
Although the cut-off frequency is 50 kHz the input frequencies
(from the A43 PLL2 Discriminator board) to be rejected will
normally be between 150 kHz to 300 kHz. The input signal is a
current (1 to
9
mA). The filter is in series with the tuning
current to minimize the effects of hum. Any stray signals coupled
to the filter inductors will appear as a series voltage signal.
Since the tuning current comes from a current source on the A43
Discriminator, it will be unaffected by any voltage fluctuations
on the inductors.
The VCO tuning voltage at TPl in
vco
(Block
B)
is a function of
the current from the A43 PLL2 Discriminator flowing through the
equivalent resistance of Rl-R5, which is essentially a current to
to voltage converter. The tuning current passes through the 50kHz
filter and into Rl-R5. Since the varactors CR1-CR4 are reverse
biased, negligible current is flowing through L3.
At the minimum tuning current, the varactor bias is set by R2
(150 MHz ADJUST). This functions as a
vco
offset adjustment. As
tuning current from the A43 PLL2 Discriminator increases, it
forces the tune voltage in a positive direction, proportional to
the setting of R4 (100 MHz ADJUST). This functions as the VCO
gain adjustment, which is set to yield about -10 MHz/mA
sensitivity. These adjustments are normally made with the loop
phas·e-locked. When phase-locked, the VCO frequency will exactly
equal the programmed frequency, so rather than adjusting for a
frequency indication, the adjustments are made by monitoring the
tuning voltage on the A43 PLL2 Discriminator and setting the end
points to the appropriate voltages.
