CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
1. PLL circuit
ThePLLcircuitused in this model consistsoftwo
10kHz
and
5kHz
reference loops, and in the
5kHz
loop
1kHz step is obtained by a 1
/1
0divider. Moreover, by controlling frequencyoftheVCXO(oscillator) with
a microcomputer and a
D/
A converter, 100 Hz step is obtained.
Theory of operation will be given below.
0305
is the reference oscillator
(1
0.24 MHz) and supplies the outputto two PLL ICs, IC302 and IC305.
The
0305

passing through 0301 bufferamplifier. IC302 counts down the inputand
applies the output to the phase comparator.

0301 buffer output is applied to IC303, counted down to 1/1
0,
and then applied to IC304 mixer.
0309
is a 22MHzoscillator which usesa VXO (Variable Crystal Oscillator) circuitto obtain a
1OOHz
step
operation. The microprocessordevelops 6 bit dataand the dataare converted into a DC voltage by the
IC307,
D/
Aconvertercircuit, and the DC voltage is used asacontrolvoltagefortheVXO, thusdeveloping
the
1OOHz
step. Theoscillatingfrequencyis
22.0000-
22.0009MHz
(1OOHz
step). Thesignal isinjected
into the IC306 mixer.
0307
output is also injected to the IC306 and the mixed output passes through a
LPF and injected to IC304 mixer.
The IC304 mixer output passes through the LPF and enters a divider inside IC305 and applied to the
phase comparator with the reference oscillator output.
The phase comparator output passes through IC307 loop filter and controls
0306
(VCO) frequency.
TheVCOoutputpassesthrough
0308
bufferamplifierand BPF(L318, L319)andentersthe
RX/TX
mixer
as the local output.
Operations shown above can be given as an equation shown below:

When the 500kHz key is pushed, the microprocessor computes N1, N2, and fo required to step up by
500kHz from a current frequency and transfers the data to the PLL circuit.
