This product uses a frequency synthesizer to generate the transmitter signal which is then
applied to the transmitter power amplifier. The frequency stability of the output signal from the
synthesizer is determined by the stability of the reference frequency applied to the synthesizer
input. The figure above shows the frequency synthesizer with the appropriate circuitry
highlighted.
The reference frequency for the synthesizer is 16.8 MHz. This is determined by the crystal
component indicated as Y3761 in the figure. Notice also that a varactor, D3761 is connected to
one side of the resonator. By varying the voltage applied to the varactor, the frequency of the
reference oscillator can be varied. This voltage is supplied from Pin 25 of U3701 and is called the
warp voltage. The reference oscillator active device is internal to U3701 and connects to the
resonator at pins 23 and 24.
The center frequency of crystal resonators varies in a mathematically predictable way over
temperature and following a known polynomial curve. Due to production variations, the
coefficients of the curve are slightly different for each crystal. To account for this each crystal is
individually characterized and labeled.
The integrated circuit U3701 contains circuitry which senses the ambient temperature and
adjusts the warp voltage to track out the variation in resonator center frequency over
temperature. This circuitry is designed to be custom programmed for the slight variations in
crystals that are indicated on the crystal label. At the time of production, the label is read and the
correct adjustments are programmed into the radio.
The reference oscillator is power off a regulated supply voltage. This eliminates variation of the
frequency with battery voltage.

Audio processing and modulation limiting are performed inside a custom integrated circuit, U404.
This IC takes audio from either the internal or external microphone and performs the necessary
processing and outputs modulation information to the synthesizer. The figure below will help
explain in the discussion of this operation.

integrated circuit
Audio from the microphone is routed to a microphone preamp which adjusts for the differences in
sensitivity between internal and external microphones. The signal is then routed to a four pole
low-pass filter to bandlimit the signal to 4 kHz and then through a highpass filter which remove
energy in the low frequency part of the spectrum which is used for signaling. The signal is the
preemphasized and then sent to a limiter. This nonlinear circuit clamps the peak value of the
audio signal. By limiting this peak value of the audio waveform, we are able to limit the peak
value of modulation output to the synthesizer and thereby peak deviation from the transmitter.
After the limiter, the audio is passed through a 5 pole low-pass splatter filter to remove higher
frequency energy and then subaudible signalling such as CTCSS is summed in. This signal goes
through a programmable attenuator before going to the synthesizer.
Alignment procedures for the radio will adjust the modulation attenuator and thereby maximum
deviation with the audio level driven into limit. The level of the subaudible signaling tone is a
known peak value and alignment procedures offset the transmitter deviation setting to insure peak
deviation is kept below maximum limit.

This product is equipped with a low-pass filter following the transmitter output to attenuate
spurious harmonics of the transmitter. This filter consists of inductors L3532, and L3531, as
well as capacitors C3536, C3534, C3535 and C3533. The elements form a general parameter
type low-pass filter with 4 poles and 1 zeros.
In addition, the matching of the final device is low-pass in nature. This network is formed by
L3522 and L3521 as well as capacitors C3521, C3523 , C3524, C3525, C3527 and C3528
inclusive. Both of these networks attenuate the harmonic emissions from the final amplifier.
This product limits the output power of the transmitter by limiting the dc current into the final
device. The current for the RF final amplifier, Q3501, flows through resistor R3519. The
voltage on both sides of this resistor are sensed and connected to a custom integrated circuit
which is used for power control functions, U3502, at pins 1 and 27. This IC senses the
differential voltage across the resistor and compares it to a reference voltage supplied by an
internal digital to analog converter. The difference in voltage between these signals controls the
magnitude of the output voltage from the IC on Pin 4.
Integrated circuit U3501 is a RF driver amplifier whose output power is controlled by the
magnitude of the voltage applied to pin 1. The output voltage from the power control IC is
connected to this pin and therefore power output of the RF driver varies with the output voltage
from power control IC. This power out of the driver is connected to the final amplifier
Q3501. As the power output of the driver goes up, Q3501 draws more current increasing the
drop across R3519. Conversely, if the power output of the driver goes down, Q3501 draws less
current, decreasing the drop across R3519. In this way, a negative feedback loop is formed
which holds the value of final amplifier current constant.
The value of the reference voltage from the digital to analog converter is programmable to
allow adjustment of radio output power in the factory or field service center. This adjustment
requires special service software and is not adjustable by the operator.
