UHF TRANSCEIVERS

This service manual describes the latest technical
information for the IC-F4001/IC-F4002/IC-F4003/IC-F4006/
IC-F4008 UHF TRANSCEIVERS at the time of publication.
NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet or to a DC
power supply that uses more than the specified voltage.
This will ruin the transceiver.
DO NOT expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids.
DO NOT reverse the polarities of the power supply when
connecting the transceiver.
DO NOT apply an RF signal of more than 20 dBm (100 mW) to
the antenna connector. This could damage the transceiver’s
front-end.
To upgrade quality, any electrical or mechanical parts
and internal circuits are subject to change without notice
or obligation.

4-1 RECEIVER CIRCUITS
RF CIRCUITS
The RX signal from the antenna is passed through the LPF
and antenna SW, then filtered by the 2-staged tuned BPF
to eliminate unwanted out-of-band signal. The filtered RX
signal is amplified by the RF AMP, and filtered by another
2-staged tuned BPF to obtain a good image response, then
applied to the 1st IF circuits.
The tuned BPFs are tuned to the RX frequency by applying
adequate tuning voltages; “T1” and “T2” to the variable
capacitors.
1ST IF CIRCUITS
The RX signal from the RF circuits is applied to the 1st IF
mixer and mixed with the 1st LO signal from the RX VCO,
resulting in the 46.35 MHz 1st IF signal. The 1st IF signal is
filtered by the crystal filter, amplified by the 1st IF AMP, then
applied to the 2nd IF circuits.
2ND IF CIRCUITS AND DEMODULATOR
The signal from the 1st IF circuits is applied to the IF
demodulator IC which contains the 2nd IF mixer, 2nd IF
AMP, FM detector, etc. in its package.
The 1st IF signal is applied to the 2nd IF mixer and mixed
with the 2nd LO signal resulting in the 450 kHz 2nd IF
signal.
The 2nd LO signal is generated by tripling the 15.3 MHz
reference frequency signal oscillated by the reference
frequency oscillator (TCXO).
The converted 2nd IF signal is filtered by the crystal filter/
filters to eliminate unwanted signal, and amplified by the
2nd IF AMP, then demodulated by the detector circuit which
employs a discriminator as the phase shifter.
The demodulated AF signal is applied to the RX AF circuits.

RX AF CIRCUITS
The demodulated AF signal from the IF demodulator
IC is passed through the LPF, HPF which attenuates
frequencies 300 Hz and below. The filtered AF signal is
passed through the AF line SW, HPF which additionally
attenuates frequencies 300 Hz and below, de-emphasis
circuit which provides –6 dB/oct of frequency response.
The de-emphasized AF signal is passed through the AF
SW, LPF which attenuates frequencies 3 kHz and above, is
adjusted in level by the D/A converter. The level-adjusted AF
signal is then applied to the AF power AMP via the AF line
SW.
The amplified AF signal is applied to the internal or external
speaker.
4-2 TRANSMITTER CIRCUITS
TX AF CIRCUITS
The audio signal from the internal or external microphone
(MIC signal) is passed through the MIC gain SW and applied
to the MIC AMP. The amplified MIC signal is passed through
the MIC mute SW, HPF which attenuates frequencies
300 Hz and below. The filtered MIC signal is passed through
the pre-emphasis circuit which provides +6 dB/oct of
frequency response, then they applied to the limiter AMP.
The amplitude-limited MIC signal is passed through the
MIC line SW, and applied to the splatter filter, which
attenuate harmonics in the MIC signal to prevent exceeding
permissible deviation.
The filtered MIC signal is applied to the D/A converter which
adjusts its level (=deviation). The level-adjusted MIC signal
is applied to the TX VCO as the modulation signal.

TX AMPLIFIERS
The buffer amplified signal from the LO SW (D5) is amplified
by; the pre-AMP, pre-drive AMP, drive AMP, and power AMP
in sequence, to obtain TX power. The amplified TX signal
is passed through the antenna SW and the LPF, which
eliminates harmonics, and then fed to the antenna.
APC CIRCUITS
D1 and D2 rectify a portion of the TX signal to direct current,
and the APC AMP compares the voltage and the TX power
control reference voltage, “T1.” The resulting voltage controls
the gain of the power and drive AMPs to keep the TX power
constant.
4-3
FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZER CIRCUITS
The RX VCO is composed of Q13, D11 and D12. The VCO
output signal is buffer-amplified by two buffers and applied
to the 1st IF mixer, via the LO SW (D6) and the LPF.
The TX VCO is composed of Q14 and D14–D16. The VCO
output signal is buffer-amplified by two buffers and applied
to the 1st IF mixer, via the LO SW (D6) and the LPF.
A portion of oscillated signal from each VCO is fed back to
the PLL IC via the buffer and the LPF.
The applied VCO output signal is divided and phase-
compared with a 15.3 MHz reference frequency signal from
the TCXO, which is also divided. The resulting signal is
output from the PLL IC, and DC-converted by the loop filter,
and then applied to the VCO as the lock voltage.
When the oscillation frequency drifts, its phase changes
from that of the reference frequency, causing a lock voltage
change to compensate for the drift in the VCO oscillating
frequency.
