VHF MOBILE TRANSCEIVERS

This service manual describes the latest technical
information for the IC-F5021 IC-F5022 IC-F5023/H
IC-F5026/H IC-F5028H VHF MOBILE TRANSCEIVERS at
the time of publication.
NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet or to a DC
power supply that uses more than specified. 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 dm (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.

1ST IF CIRCUITS
The RX signals from the BPF are mixed with the 1st LO
signals to be converted into the 46.35 MHz 1st IF signal.
The 1st LO signals are generated by the RX VCO (Q14,
D33, D34, L26, L39, etc.), and passed through the LO SW
(D15) and attenuator, then applied to the 1st mixer (Q3)
The converted 1st IF signal is filtered by the crystal filter (FI1)
and amplified by the 1st IF AMP (Q4), then applied to the IF
IC (IC1).
5-1 RECEIVER CIRCUITS
RF CIRCUITS
RF signals from the antenna are passed through the LPF (as
the harmonic filter for transmitting) and antenna SW, then
applied to the RX BPF circuit.
The applied RX signals are passed through the 2-staged
tuned BPF (D4, D8) to remove unwanted out-of-band
signals, and amplified by the low-noise RF AMP (Q2), then
applied to the 1st mixer (Q3) via another 2-staged tuned
BPF (D9, 10).
Total of 4 stage BPF are tuned to the RX frequency by the
tuning voltage “T1” and “T2” from the D/A converter (IC20),
to obtain required IMD characteristic.
2ND IF AND DEMODULATOR CIRCUITS
The amplified 1st IF signal is mixed with the 2nd LO signal
at the internal 2nd IF mixer of the IF IC (IC1), to obtain the
450 kHz 2nd IF signal.
The 15.3 MHz signal generated by the reference oscillator
(X2) is passed through the filter AMP (Q34, L33, 35, C305–
308) to extract the 45.9 MHz 3rd harmonic component. The
45.9 MHz signal is then applied to pin 2 of IF IC (IC1) as
the 2nd LO signal.
The converted 2nd IF signal is output from pin 3 of IF IC
(IC1), and filtered by the ceramic filters (FI2 and FI6 for
Narrow mode; FI2 only for Wide mode) to remove unwanted
out-of-band signals, then applied to the internal frequency-
demodulator of IF IC (IC1) from pin 5.
The demodulator is a quadrature type which uses X1 as the
phase shifter.
The frequency-demodulated AF signals are output from pin 9
to AF circuits.

AF CIRCUITS
The demodulated AF signals from the IF IC (IC1) are

AF line SW (IC14).
The amplified AF signals are applied to the AF power AMP
(IC8) and power-amplified to obtain AF output level.
The power-amplified AF signals are applied to the internal
speaker on the FRONT UNIT or output from the external
speaker jack on the rear panel.
SIGNALING (DECODING)
Demodulated signals from pin 9 of the IF IC (IC1) are
passed through the LPF to extract tone signals contained in
the demodulated signals.
2/5 tone signals are extracted by the LPF (IC16). CTCSS/

5-2 TRANSMITTER CIRCUITS
MIC AMPLIFIER (FRONT UNIT)
Audio signals from the connected microphone are applied to
the MIC AMP (IC5) via the microphone connector (J1). The
amplified MIC signals are applied to the MAIN UNIT.
TX AF CIRCUITS
The MIC signals from the FRONT UNIT are passed through
the D/A converter (as a MIC gain controller; IC18) for level
adjustment, and applied to the limiter AMP which is also
rolled to the pre-emphasis circuit (IC16).
MIC MUTE SWITCH
The pre-emphasized MIC signals are passed through the
MIC mute SW (IC14).
While receiving, the MIC mute SW (IC14) cuts the MIC line
off, and is controlled by “MMUT” signal from the expander
(IC17).
SPLATTER FILTER
The MIC signals from the MIC mute SW (IC14) are applied
to the splatter filter (IC16).
The splatter filter (IC16) is also used as the AF Summing
AMP for tone signals modulation (CTCSS, 2/5 TONE).
MODULATION CIRCUIT
MIC signals from the splatter filter (IC16) is level-adjusted
(=deviation adjustment) by the D/A converter (IC18), and
applied to the TX VCO (Q13, D16, 31) via modulation mute
SW (IC14) as the modulation signals.
The MIC signals are also applied to the reference frequency
oscillator (X2) as the modulation signals via D/A converter
(IC18) and REF AMP (IC19).
CTCSS/DTCS SIGNALS ENCODING (FRONT UNIT)
The CTCSS/DTCS encoding signals from the CPU (IC1)
“CENC0–CENC2” are passed through the LPF (IC5) for
waveform conversion, and applied to the MAIN UNIT as tone
modulation signals.
2/5 TONE, DTMF ENCODING (FRONT UNIT)
Encoding signal from the CPU (IC1) named “SENC” is
passed through the LPF (IC5), and applied to the MAIN
UNIT as tone modulation signals.
TX AMPLIFIERS
The frequency-modulated signal from the TX VCO is buffer-
amplified by two buffers (Q11 and Q10), and applied to the
drive AMP (Q9) as the TX signal via the LO SW (D14). The
amplified TX signal is applied to the FET HPA module (IC3)
via the LPF, and power-amplified to obtain TX output power
level.
The power-amplified TX signal is passed through the
antenna SW (D3) and LPF as a harmonic filter, then fed to
the antenna.
APC CIRCUIT
A portion of TX signal rectified by D1, D11 and D12 on the
TX line to detect TX power level. The rectified voltage is
applied to the APC AMP (IC2), and the APC AMP controls
the gain of HPA module (IC3) automatically by comparing
the rectified voltage and the power setting voltage "T1."

5-3 FREQUENCY SYNTHSIZER CIRCUITS
VCOs
The TX VCO which generates TX signal is composed
by Q13, D16, D31, L25, L38, etc., and the frequency
modulation is carried out by applying modulation signals to
D18.
The RX VCO which generates 1st LO signals is composed
by Q14, D33, D34, L26, L39, etc.
These two VCOs are switched by the VCO SW (Q15, 16)
using “RXC” signal.
The output signals from each VCO are amplified by the
buffer AMP (Q11) and LO AMP (Q10), then applied to the
TX or RX circuits.
A portion of oscllated signals is applied to the PLL IC (IC4)
via buffer AMP (Q12).
PLL
The applied VCO output is divided according to the serial
data including divide ratio from the CPU, at the prescaler
and programmable divider. In the same way, the reference
frequency signal from the reference frequency signal
oscillator is applied to the PLL IC and divide so that these
are the same frequency.
The frequency-matched signals are applied to the phase
comparator and phase-compared. The resulted phase
difference is detected as a phase-type signal, and level-
adjusted at the charge pump then output. The output pulse
type signal is passed through the loop filter to be converted
into the DC voltage (=Lock Voltage).
Applying the lock voltage to the variable capacitors
(VD) which composes a part of the resonator of VCO,
the capacitance of VDs changes corresponding to the
applied lock voltage. This causes the change of resonation
frequency that determines the VCO oscillating frequency to
keep the VCO frequency constant.
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.
