3-6 DGPS RECEIVER (RD-200)
3-6-1 ANTENNA CIRCUIT (ANT UNIT)
EP3 and EP4 consist of 2 series of antennas respectively
(total 4 series).
The received signal from the antenna (EP3) is tuned at C3,
and is amplified at the RF amplifier circuits (Q1, Q2, Q5, Q6).
On the other hand, the received signal from another antenna
(EP4) which falls at right angle with EP3, is tuned at C4. The
tuned signal is amplified at the RF amplifier circuits (Q3, Q4,
Q7, Q8).
The both amplified signals are piled up and are impedancematched to 50 Ω at L1, and are then applied to the MAIN unit
via J1.
3-6-2 RF AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT (MAIN UNIT)
The RF circuit amplifies signals within the range of frequency coverage and filters out-of-band signals.
The signals from the ANTunit via J1 (pin 2) pass through the
low-pass filter (L2, L3, C3–C7) and high-pass filter (L4,
C8–C10). The filtered signals are amplified at the RF amplifier (IC1) and are then enter another low-pass filter (L6, L7,
C15–C19) and notch filter (L24, L25, C111, C112) to suppress unwanted signals. The filtered signals are applied to
the mixer circuit.
3-6-3 MIXER CIRCUIT (MAIN UNIT)
The mixer circuit (IC2, L8, L9) is a double-balanced mixer
which converts the received signal to a fixed frequency of the
IF signal with an LO frequency.
The signals from the RF circuit are mixed with the LO signal
at the mixer circuit (IC2, L8, L9) to produce a 455 kHz IF signal.
3-6-4 IF CIRCUIT (MAIN UNIT)
By changing the LO frequency, only the desired frequency
will pass through the IF filter at the next stage of the mixer.
The IF signal from the mixer circuit is amplified at the IF
amplifier (Q1) and is applied to a ceramic filter (FI1) to suppress out-of-band signals. The filtered signal is applied to the
FM IF IC circuit (IC3).
3-6-5 DEMODULATOR CIRCUIT (MAIN UNIT)
The FM IF IC (IC3) contains the limiter amplifier, detector circuits, etc.
The IF signal from the IF filter is applied to the limitter amplifier section of IC3 (pin 5). The amplified signal is mixed with
a 456.2 kHz signal from CPU IC (IC12) to produce a 1.2 kHz
detector signal for demodulation the IF signal into AF signals.
AF signal from FM IF IC (IC3, pin 9) passes through the lowpass filter (IC4a, IC4b). The filtered signal is amplified at the
AF amplifier (Q4) and is applied to the CPU (IC12).
3-6-6 REFERENCE OSCILLATOR CIRCUIT
(MAIN UNIT)
The reference oscillator circuit generates the reference frequency, and the signals are applied to the DDS IC and CPU.
The generated reference signal from the reference oscillator
(X1: 14.5984 MHz) is amplified and divided at the buffer
amplifier (IC7). The divided signal (7.2992 MHz) is applied to
the DDS IC (IC6) and CPU (IC12) via the amplifiers IC5, IC10
respectively.
3-6-7 LO CIRCUIT (MAIN UNIT)
The LO circuit generates the LO frequency, and the signals
are applied to the mixer circuit.
The generated LO signal is output from IC6 and passed
through the D/A converter (R26–R45), low-pass filter (L15,
L16, C55–C59) and high-pass filter (L17, C60–C62). The filtered signal is amplified at the buffer amplifier (Q2) and then
is passed through the low-pass filter (L18, L19, C65–C69).
The filtered signal is applied to the mixer circuit.
