Circuit Description - Kenwood TK-8360 Service Manual

1. Frequency Confi guration
The receiver utilizes double conversion. The first IF is
38.85MHz and the second IF is 450kHz. The fi rst local oscil-
lator signal is supplied from the PLL circuit.
The PLL circuit in the transmitter generates the neces-
sary frequencies. Figure 1 shows the frequencies.

2. Receiver System
The receiver is a double conversion superheterodyne.
The frequency confi guration is shown in Figure 1.
2-1. Front-end RF Amplifi er
An incoming signal from the antenna is applied to an
RF amplifi er (Q511) after passing through the transmit/re-
ceive switch circuit (D303, D304, D307, D308 and D311),
BPF (L518, L519 and varactor diodes: D506, D507) and the
Notch fi lter (L523 and varactor diode: D508). The Notch fi lter
function is to eliminate the image frequency.
After the signal is amplifi ed (Q511), the signal is fi ltered
by the bandpass (L512, L513, L514 and varactor diodes:
D503, D504, D505) to eliminate unwanted signals before it
is passed to the fi rst mixer.
The voltage of these diodes are controlled by tracking
the MCU (IC704) center frequency of the bandpass filter.
(See Figure 2)
2-2. First Mixer
The signal from the RF amplifi er is heterodyned with the
fi rst local oscillator signal from the PLL frequency synthe-
sizer circuit at the fi rst mixer (Q507) to create a 38.85MHz
fi rst intermediate frequency (1st IF) signal. The fi rst IF signal
is then fed through one pair of monolithic crystal fi lters (MCF:
XF500) to further remove spurious signals.

2-3. IF Amplifi er Circuit
The fi rst IF signal is amplifi ed by Q504, and enters IC500
(FM processing IC). The signal is heterodyned again with
a second local oscillator signal within IC500 to create a
450kHz second IF signal. The second IF signal is then fed
through a 450kHz ceramic filter (Wide: CF500, Narrow:
CF501) to further eliminate unwanted signals before it is
amplifi ed and demodulated by the quadrature detector with
the ceramic discriminator (CD500).
