A30 100 MHz VOLTAGE-CONTROLLED CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR (VCXO)
INTRODUCTION
The A30 100 MHz VCXO contains a voltage Controlled Crystal
Oscillator, a 100 MHz Buffer Amplifier, a frequency Quadrupler,
and a 400 MHz Amplifier. With the A29 Reference Phase Detector, it
forms the Reference Phase-Locked Loop. The 100 MHz and 400 MHz
outputs are used as frequency references by other assemblies in
the instrument. Refer to Figure aB-6, A30 100 MHz vcxo, Schematic
Diagram.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
100 MHz Oscillator
A
Q5 and associated circuitry function as a 100 MHz Voltage
Controlled Crystal Oscillator. Q5 is a common-base amplifier with
positive feedback to form an oscillator. The signal at the output
of Q5 goes through the parallel combination of ca and C4, where it
is limited to an amplitude swing of +0.4 V by CR3, CR4, and R7 and
becomes the output signal to the 100-MHz Buffer Amplifier (Block
B).
This output signal is also divided down by Cll and ClO to a
level of +0.25 V and fed back to the emitter of Q5 through the 100
MHz crystal, Yl, and the varactor diode, CRl. This completes the
feedback loop and causes Q5 to oscillate.
The frequency controlling elements of the feedback network are Yl,
CRl, C4, and ca. Yl, a 100 MHz quartz crystal, is the principle
frequency-determining element. CRl, a varactor diode, provides the
electrical tuning for the oscillator. Changing the (reverse) bias
voltage on the varactor varies it's capacitance; this varies the
phase shift of the feedback path around the oscillator and thus
changes the oscillator frequency. The tuning input for the
varactor comes from the output of the A29 Reference Phase
Detector. It can tune the oscillator +l kHz as needed to lock the
loop. C4 is a variable capacitor that-is used to manually adjust
the center of the tuning range to 100 MHz.
The tune voltage is applied to CRl through Ll9, R53, R5, L4, L3,
R54, and Lla. This voltage, TUNE, is brought out to a test point,
TPl, on the top cover of the casting that houses the board. C4 is
adjusted with the loop locked so that TUNE is approximately -a.o
Vdc; this centers the tuning range. L4 is a factory-selected
inductor that is used to adjust the symmetry of the oscillator
output signal over the VCXO tuning range. The signal level must be
maximum at 100 MHz and it must, over its tuning range, be
symmetrical about 100 MHz.
