  • Page 11: Theory Of Operation

    Chapter 2 THEORY OF OPERATION Introduction This Chapter provides a detailed theory of operation for the UHF circuits in the radio. For details of the theory of operation and trouble shooting for the the associated Controller circuits refer to the Controller Section of this manual.

  • Page 12: Antenna Switch

    THEORY OF OPERATION The LDMOS PA is capable of supplying an output power of 7W with an input signal of 0.3W. The current drain is typically 1300mA while operating in the frequency range of 403-470MHz. The power output can be varied by changing the bias voltage. Antenna Switch The antenna switch circuit consists of two pin diodes (CR101 and CR102), a pi network (C107, L104 and C106), and two current limiting resistors (R101 and R170).

  • Page 13: Uhf Receiver

    UHF Receiver UHF Receiver The UHF receiver consists of a front end, back end, and automatic gain control circuits. A block diagram of the receiver is shown in Figure 2-2. Detailed descriptions of these features are contained in the paragraphs that follow. Antenna Pin Diode Varactor...

  • Page 14: Receiver Back-End

    THEORY OF OPERATION The output of the bandpass filter is coupled to the RF amplifier transistor Q301 via C307. After being amplified by the RF amplifier, the RF signal is further filtered by a second varactor tuned bandpass filter, consisting of L306, L307, C313, C317, CR304 and CR305. Both the pre and post-RF amplifier varactor tuned filters have similar responses.

  • Page 15: Automatic Gain Control (Agc)

    UHF Receiver Automatic Gain Control (AGC) (Refer to the UHF Receiver Front End and Receiver Back End schematic diagrams) The front end automatic gain control circuit provides automatic reduction of gain, of the front end RF amplifier via feedback. This action is necessary to prevent overloading of backend circuits. This is achieved by drawing some of the output power from the RF amplifier output.

  • Page 16: Frequency Generation Circuit

    THEORY OF OPERATION Frequency Generation Circuit (Refer to Figure 2-3 and the UHF Frequency Synthesizer schematic diagram) The frequency generation circuit, shown in Figure 2-3, is composed of Fractional-N synthesizer U201 and VCO/Buffer IC U241. Designed in conjunction to maximize compatibility, the two ICs provide many of the functions that normally require additional circuitry.

  • Page 17: Synthesizer

    Frequency Generation Circuit Synthesizer (Refer to Figure 2-4 and the UHF Synthesizer schematic diagram) The Fractional-N synthesizer, shown in Figure 2-4, uses a 16.8MHz crystal (FL201) to provide a reference for the system. The LVFractN IC (U201) further divides this to 2.1MHz, 2.225MHz, and 2.4MHz to be used as reference frequencies.

  • Page 18: Voltage Controlled Oscillator (Vco)

    THEORY OF OPERATION Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) (Refer to Figure 2-5 and the UHF Voltage Controlled Oscillator schematic diagram) The VCOB IC (U241), shown in Figure 2-5, in conjunction with the Fractional-N synthesizer (U201) generates RF in both the receive and the transmit modes of operation. The TRB line (U241 pin 19) determines which oscillator and buffer are enabled.
  • Page 19 Frequency Generation Circuit Table 2-1 Level Shifter Logic Desired AUX 4 AUX 3 Mode High (@3.2V) High (@4.8V) High Battery Saver Hi-Z/Float (@2.5V) In the receive mode, U241 pin 19 is low or grounded. This activates the receive VCO by enabling the receive oscillator and the receive buffer of U241.

  • Page 20: Voice Storage (Gp1280 Only)

    2-10 THEORY OF OPERATION Voice Storage (GP1280 Only) (Refer to Figure 2-6 and the UHF Voice Storage schematic diagram) The Voice Storage feature is offered as standard in the GP1280 and as an Option board for GP340/GP360/GP380 and GP640/GP680 models. The Voice Storage feature enables users to: Record and Playback Personal Memo (Reminders, Notes, etc.).
  • Page 21 Voice Storage (GP1280 Only) 2-11 Audio routing to the Voice Storage circuitry during receive message recording, message playback, personal memo recording and voice prompt transmit over the air are as follows: Received Message Recording The receive audio is tapped from the Rx_Aud_Rtn pin of the ASFIC_CMP during receive mode. Message Playback Message playback is via the FLAT_RX_SND pin of ASFIC_CMP.
