12.8 MHZ TCXO
X401 is VCTCXO , which provide stable oscillator of 12.8 MHZ to PLL IC.
Frequency adjustment is provided by VR401
.Voltage controlled oscillator module(VCO)
The module produces carrier frequencies during transmit and local oscillator frequencies during receive.
Transmit and RX VCO for producing the local oscillator frequency during receive .
The module also has Rx and TX powerline filters.
RX and TX power line filters
Transistor Q306 is configured as a 5v power supply ripple filter. The filter reduces the noise on the carrier and
local oscillator signals.

RX
VCO
The RX VCO comprises JFET Q301, coil L302 , and varactor D301 and is configured as a Colpitts Oscillator .
D301 produces a change in frequency with a change in DC voltage and is controlled by the tuning voltage signal
present at the cathode. The local oscillator signal at the source of Q301 isa pplied to the buffer/amplifier formed
by Q305 and Q201.The Local signal is applied to the mixer when diode D203 is reverse biased and D202 is
forward biased.
TX VCO
The TX VCO comprises JFET Q302,coil L305 , and varactor D302 and D303 and is configured as a Colpitts
oscillator . D302 produces a change in frequency with a change in DC voltage and is controlled by the tuning
voltage signal present at the cathode. The AF signal at J901 pin 1 is applied to the cathode of D303 to produce
FM modulation. When diode D203 is forward biased and D202 is reversed biased the modulated RF signal at the
collector of Q201 is passed to the power Amplifier and harmonic filter via the cascode buffer/amplifier Q205.
PLL IC
The reference frequency from the TCXO, at 12.8 MHZ , is connected to pin 1 of U401(MB1504) the appropriate
VCO is connected to pin 11.
REFDIV divides the 12.8 MHz to produce a reference frequency (Fr) of 5 or 6. 25 kHz dependent upon channel
spacing selected. VARDIV divides the prescaled VCO frequency to produce a variable frequency (Fv). Fv and Fr
are fed to the phase detector.
Phase detector
When Fv=Fr, the phase detector output (pins 15 and 16,U401) produces narrow negative pulses and Fv and Fr
pulse widths are identical. When Fv〉Fr pin 15 (V) pulses negative with pin 16(R) remaining high.
When Fv〈Fr pin 16 (R) pulses negative with pin 15(V) remaining high.
The signal at pin 15 and 16 is smoothed the loop filter and applied to the VCO.
Out-of-lock detector
The out-of-lock detector produces a series of logic level pulses when the loop is out of lock at pin 7 of U401.The
pulses at pin 7 of U401 are buffered by Q401 and then integrated by R407 and C406. The product of the
integrating circuit is fed to Q202 to turn off transmitter power.
Charge Pump and Loop Filter
Transistors Q402~Q404 , and associated resistors and capacitors form the charge pump and loop filter .
The phase detector output from U401 pins 15 and 16 are combined by the charge pump to produce a 0 to 8V
tuning voltage signal.
The signal is filtered by the loop filter (R414,C414 and C413) to remove any residual reference frequency
harmonics from the signal. After filtering the signal is applied to the voltage controlled oscillator module.

DC REGULATOR
The DC Regulator U402, converts the +13.6 V to a 5V supply .
This is used to provide the tuning voltage for the VCO .
Dual modulus prescaler
The prescaler divides the VCO frequency by 64 or 65.
Transmitter
The transmitter comprises:
VCO BufferPA Module
Amp
RF LPF

Power Control
ANTENNA
SWITCH
Buffer
When the radio is in transmit mode the diode D203 is forward biases enabling the modulated RF signal
from the VCO to pass to the buffer/pre-amplifier Q205 and associated components.
The output signal is passed from Q205 to Q206 via a matching network consisting of inductor L203 and
C217.
PA module
The signal is then amplified for transmission by 207, which is a power amplifier module.
Low pass filter
The amplified RF signal is passed through the stripline coupler and is fed to the harmonic low pass filter,
comprising L211 to L212 and C228-C240 and then to the antenna connector (ANT).
Antenna Switch
When transmitting, the diodes D205 are forward biased, allowing the RF to pass to the antenna. D206 is
shorted to ground which makes L210 look open circuit (1/4 wave tuned stub). This prevents the TX signal
from passing to the receiver stage.
Power output control .
The RF power tuning by VC201,which make sure the current less than 1300mA when output power is 5 W.
