2.2.1Receiver
Incoming RF signals from the antenna are first routed through the harmonic filter and antenna
switch, part of the transmitter circuitry, before being applied to the receiver front end. The receiver
front end consists of a preselector filter, RF amplifier, interstage filter, and a double-balanced first
mixer (Figure 2-2).
The mixer output is applied to a diplexer network which matches the 44.85 MHz IF signal to the
crystal filter, and terminates the mixer into 50 ohms at all other frequencies.
The receiver back-end is a dual conversion design. High IF selectivity is provided by a 4-pole
fundamental mode 44.85 MHz crystal filter. The output is matched to an IF amplifier stage. The
output of the IF amplifier is applied to the input of the receiver IFIC.
2-2Theory Of Operation: Major Assemblies
R
c
The IFIC is a low-voltage monolithic FM IF system incorporating a mixer/oscillator, two limiting IF
amplifiers, quadrature detector, logarithmic received signal strength indicator (RSSI), voltage
regulator and audio , and RSSI O p Amps. The secon d LO frequency, 44.395 MHz, is determined by a
crystal oscillator. The second mixer converts the 44.85 MHz high IF frequency to 455 kHz.
Additional IF selectivity is provided by two ceramic filters. The first ceramic filter is a 4-pole filter used
between the second mixer and IF amp. The second ceramic filter is a 6-pole filter and is used
between the IF amp and the limiter input. F or the second cer amic filter, a wider filter is used for 20/25
kHz channel spacing, and a narrower filter is used for 12.5 kHz channels.
A ceramic resonator provides ph ases vs. frequency characteristic required by the quadrature
detector , with 90 degree phase shift occurring at 455 kHz. The output of the IFIC is the recovered
audio signal which is fed to the audio IC for amplification and signal conditioning. The outpu t of the
audio IC is injecting into the audio PA which drives the 24 Ohm speaker.
2.2.2Transmitter
• When the radio is transmitting, microphone audio is passed through the audio IC, where preemphasis and low-pass (splatter) filtering are done. The output of the aud io IC is used to modulate the TX VCO, which creates the modulated carr ie r. The modulated carrier is then amplified
by the pre-driver and power amplifier circuit, which transmits the signal under dynamic power
control

4.2Power-Up Self Test
Applying power to the r a dio by using the on/off v olume cont rol, starts a self-test routine which checks
the RAM, EEPROM hardware and EEPROM checksum. Pressing and holding SB1 while turning on
the radio causes the self-test routine to check for the ROM checksum as well. If these checks are
successfully completed, the radio will generate the Self-Test Pass Tone. If the self-test is not
successful, a Self-Test Fail Tone is heard.
RIB Power Supply
Figure 4-1. Radio Tuning Setup
4-2Performance Checks: RF Test Mode
Supply voltage can be connected from the battery eliminator. The equipment required for alignment
procedures is connected as shown in the Radio Performance Checks Setup diagram (Figure 4-1).
Initial equipment control settings should be as indicated in Table 4-1 and should be the same for all
performance checks and tuner alignment procedures.
When the EP450 radio is operating in its normal environment, the radio's microcomputer controls the
RF channel selection, transmitter key-up, and receiver muting, according to the customer code plug
configuration. However, when the unit is on the bench for testing, alignment, or repair, it must be
removed from its normal environment using a special routine, called RF TEST MODE. This mode
allows bench testing of the radio at various test frequencies across the entire band, at both high and
low transmit power (if applicable), at various channel spacings, and with different coded or carrier
squelch types. Any customer specific programming in the radio will not be changed or affected by use
of the RF Test Mode.

To enter test mode:
1. Turn the radio on .
Within ten seconds after the self test is complete (self test tone is heard), press SB2 (Side Button 2 in
Figure 4-2) five times in succession. If the self test complete tone is not heard, see Error Codes
information in Chapter 8. Entry into the test mode is indicated by a positive indicator tone followed by
a good key chirp (GKC). Upon entering test mode, the radio is in the carrier squelch mode.
2. Press SB1 (Side Button 1) and scroll through and access test environments as shown in
Table 4-2.
3. Press SB2 and scroll through the channel spacin g available as shown in Table 4-3.
4. T urn the channel selector knob to change the test chan nel f or that en vironment as sho wn in Table 4-4.
5. Press the PTT on a test channel to cause the radio to transmit at the test frequency for t he channel.
