n"u"a
@EGBI
The circuit of
the
P.E.C.
includes
a
de-empha-
sis
network
to
compensate
for high
frequency
pre-emphasis
that was
added to
the transmitted
audio
signal;
it thus
provides
a
flat audio
fre-
quency
response.
This network
also attenuates
frequencies
above
the audio range.
The audio
output
signal
of
the ratio
detector is
applied
both
to
Q7,
the
emitter
follower
and, as
an
AFC
voltage,
to
Q2
oftheFMtuning
unit.
Any
shift of
the
IF from
the
10.7
megacycle
center
frequency
appears
as
a DC voltage
which
is ap-
plied
to
diode D1;
this is
commonly
called
AFC
voltage.
The
DC
voltage
shift on
D1 in
turn
changes
the oscillator
capacity,
thereby ef-
fectively retuning
it and causing
it to
track the
particular
station
that is
being
received.
AUDIO
SECTION
The audio signal
from
the ratio
detector is
applied to
Q7,
the emitter
follower,
which acts
as
a matching networkbetween
the
ratio
detector
and
the Volume control.
After
the Volume control,
the audio signal
is amplified
bydriver
amplifier
Q8
and
then
to the
Tone
control
and
to driver
transformer
T6. Transformer
T6
couples
the
audio signal
to
Q9
ahd
Q10,
ttte
push-pull
audio
amplifier stages.
From
Qg
and
Q10
the signal,
is coupled
to the speaker
and
earphone
jack
through
T?,
the audio output
transformer.
When
an
earphone is
plugged
in,
the built-in
speaker
is automatically
disconnected
from
the
circuit
and
the
audio signal
goes
instead
to the ear-
phone.
Operating
power
is supplied
by six
1-1/2
volts
size
C
flashlight
batteries.
IF-LIMITER
SECTION
The
10.?
megacycle signal
from
the
FM tuning
unit is
appliedto
Q4,
the
first IF amplifier.
From
Q4,
the
IF signal
passes
through
transformer
T3'
which
passes
only
the difference
frequency
of 10.?
megacycles,
to
Q5,
the
second
IF amplifier.
After
additional amplification
in
Q5,
the signal
is
applied
through T4, the second
IF transformer,
to
limiter stage
Q6,
which limits on
all but
the
weakest
signals.
Stages
Q4
and
Qb
act as
IF amplifiers
for
weak
signals,
and
as limiters
for
strong
signals.
Limiter
stages
are used
to remove
any
AM
(amplitude
modulation)
of
the IF signal,
and
to
limit
the signal
to
the
proper
level
for
the ratio
detector.
The IF signal
from
limiter
Q6
is next
applied
to ratio
detector transformer,
T5.
RATIO DETECTOR
Ideally,
the IF
signal
applied
to
the ratio
de-
tector should be of constant
amplitude,
but con-
tain
variations
in frequency
which
correspond
to
tfie audio signal being
transmitted
by
the
FM
station.
The
amount of
frequency
deviationfrom
the center
frequency of
10.7
megacycles
de-
termines
the amplitude of
the resulting
audio
signal.
The number of
times
per
second
thatthe
IF
signal
deviates from 10.?
megacycles
de-
termines
the resulting
audio
frequency.
The
combinatlon of
diodes D3, D4, and
transformer
Tb detect frequency variations
in the
IF
signal,
and
change
these variations
into
anaudiosignal.
Most of
the resistors
and capacitors
used
inthe
ratio
detector
are encapsulated
in a
P.E.C.
(pack-
aged electronic
circuit).
The
use of
this
P.E.C.
eliminates
any variations
in
performance
that
could
result
from
different
wiring
techniques.
