General Overview of an ASTRO Digital XTS 3000 Radio The ASTRO Digital XTS 3000 radio is a dual-mode (trunked/ conventional), microcontroller-based transceiver incorporating a Digital Signal Processor (DSP). The microcontroller handles the general radio control, monitors status, and processes commands input from the keypad or other user controls.
The display module is a four-line x 12-character, liquid-crystal display (LCD) with associated circuitry. This module utilizes chip-on-board technology and is not considered field repairable. The keypad module is either a 6 x 3- or a 2 x 3-button module with backlighting.
Transceiver Board The receiver front end consists of a preselector, an RF amplifier, a second preselector, and a mixer. In the VHF and UHF radios, both Overview preselectors are varactor-tuned, two-pole filters controlled by the microcontrol unit (MCU) through the digital/analog (D/A) IC. On the 800MHz receiver front end, these filters are fixed-tuned.
Vocoder Board The vocoder board (see Figure 1) contains the radio’s DSP and ADSIC circuitry. It is responsible for all voice and data processing and Overview signalling. The DSP performs all signalling and voice encoding and decoding as well as audio filtering and volume control. This includes Private- ®...
Radio Power Introduction to This section of the manual provides a detailed circuit description of the power distribution for an ASTRO Digital XTS 3000 radio. This Section General In the ASTRO XTS 3000 radio, power (B+) is distributed to two boards: the transceiver board and the controller board.
B+ Routing for Refer to Figure 3 and the appropriate schematic diagram. 800MHz Raw B+ (7.5V) from the battery (Batt B+) enters the radio on the Transceiver Boards transceiver board through a 3-contact connector (J3). From J3 it is routed through four ferrite beads (E1, E2, E3, E4) and applied to the RF power amplifier (U502) and the ALC IC (U504).
B+ and +5V Routing Refer to Figures 4 and 5 and the appropriate schematic diagrams. for Controller and Power for the radio is derived from a 7.5 volt battery, which is applied Vocoder Boards to the transceiver board through J3. This Raw B+, or unswitched B+ (UNSW B+), is routed to J1 on the transceiver board and then on to P201 on the controller board.

VHF/UHF Transceiver Board Detailed Theory of Operation Introduction to This section of the manual provides a detailed circuit description of the ASTRO Digital XTS 3000 VHF and UHF transceiver boards. When This Section reading the theory of operation, refer to the appropriate schematic and component location diagrams located in the back section of this manual.

If the two frequencies in the synthesizer’s comparator differ, a control (error) voltage is produced. The phase detector error voltage (V control) at pins 31 and 33 of U204 is applied to the loop filter consisting of resistors R211, R212, and R213, and capacitors C244, C246, C247, and C248.
Antenna Switch Two antenna switches are part of the radio circuitry. One of the switches is a mechanical connector that attaches to the external antenna bushing. It switches between the radio antenna and a remote antenna. Switching is accomplished by a plunger located on the accessory connector.
The RF signal is applied to the mixer at U2 pins 1 and 15. An injection signal (1st LO) of about -10dBm, supplied by the FGU, is applied to U2, pin 8. Mixing of the RF and the 1st LO results in an output signal that is the first IF frequency.
Transmitter The transmitter consists of three major sections: • Harmonic Filter • RF Power Amplifier Module • ALC Circuits Harmonic Filter RF from the power amplifier (PA) module (U105) is routed through the coupler (U104), passed through the transmit antenna switch (CR108), and applied to a harmonic filtering network in UHF.

Antenna Switch Switching between the standard and external antenna ports is accomplished with the external mechanical switch that is actuated by a plunger, located on the accessory connector. An electronic PIN diode switch steers RF between the receiver and transmitter. The common node of the switch is at capacitor C101. In the transmit mode, RF is routed to the anode of diode CR104.

Since low-side injection is used, the LO frequency is offset below the RF carrier by 73.35MHz, or Flo = Frf - 73.35MHz. The mixer utilizes GaAs FETs in a double-balanced, Gilbert Cell configuration. The LO port (pin 8) incorporates an internal buffer and a phase shift network to eliminate the need for a LO transformer.

The second LO/VCO is a Colpitts oscillator built around transistor Q1. The VCO has a varactor diode (VR401), which is used to adjust the VCO frequency. The control signal for the varactor is derived from a loop filter consisting of C426, C428, and R413. Transmitter The 800MHz RF power amplifier (PA) is a five-stage amplifier (U502).
