2. THEORY OF OPERATIONS
Note : Refer to the block diagrams (figure 2-1 through 2-8) in the text for the operations of the circuits.
2.1 PLL Block
The PLL block comprises a VCO, TCXO, PLL IC, and PLL loop filter.
The VCO circuit generates the transmission signal and first local signal directly.
2.1.1 Programmable Divider
The input oscillation signal is frequency divided by the
prescaler using a determined division ratio (1/64 or 1/65).
After this, the oscillation signal is input to a programmable
divider built into the PLL IC. Based on the data from
microprocessor QL02, the programmable divider
frequency divides the oscillation signal from the VCO to
1/N to generate a comparison frequency (fp) of 5 kHz or
6.25 kHz.
2.1.2 Reference Divider
The reference divider is a circuit that generates a
reference frequency (fr) of 5 kHz or 6.25 kHz based on
data from microprocessor QL02. The 12.8 MHz reference
oscillation signal from the TCXO passes through pin 1 of
PLL IC QP02 and is input to the reference divider built
into the PLL IC.
The 12.8 MHz reference oscillation signal is frequency
divided to 1/2,560 (1/2,048) to generate a reference
frequency of 5(6.25) kHz.
2.1.3 Phase Comparator
The phase comparator compares the comparison
frequency (fp) and the reference frequency (fr) to
determine the phase difference.
2.1.4 Charge Pump
The charge pump circuit charges and discharges the
electrical charge accumulated in the PLL loop filter.
2.1.5 PLL loop Filter
The PLL loop filter CR integrates the level signal (square
wave) output from the charge pump, converting it into a
DC voltage.

2.1.6 VCO Circuit
The DC voltage output by the PLL loop filter is input to a
variable capacitance diode built into the VCO. This DC
voltage changes the capacitance between the electrodes
of the variable capacitance diode, thereby controlling the
oscillation signal of the VCO.
2.1.7 Unlock Detect Circuit
The microprocessor QL02 (pin 37) determines whether
the status of the PLL circuitry is lock or unlock according
to the output level (high or low) from pin 14 of the PLL IC.
If the phase comparator built into the PLL IC detects no
phase difference (PLL circuit locked), it produces a high
level output. This high level output signal is input to an
unlock switch QP04, causing it to turn on. When the
unlock switch is on, a low level output signal is input to pin
37 of microprocessor QL02. The low level input causes
microprocessor QL02 to determine that the PLL circuit is
locked.
If there is a phase difference (PLL circuit unlocked), the
phase comparator produces a low level output. This low
level output signal is input the unlock switch QP04,
causing it to turn off. When the unlock switch is off, a high
level output signal is input to pin 37 of microprocessor
QL02. The high level input causes microprocessor QL02
to determine that the PLL circuit is unlocked.
2.2 Receiver Block
The reception method is double-conversion superheterodyne with a first IF frequency of 44.95 MHz (Lower) and a second IF
frequency of 455 kHz (Lower). The receiver block comprises an RF amplifier circuit, first mixer circuit, first IF amplifier circuit,
second IF circuit, and audio circuit.

2.2.1 RF Amplifier Circuit
The reception frequency amplified by approximately 20 dB
by RF amplifier QF02, after which it is input to a band-pass
filter consisting of LF04, CF11, CF29, CF13, LF05, CF14,
CF15, LF06, CF16, CF17, CF18, LF07, CF19(only
HX290UKA131/181/111) and CF20. At this point, unwanted
frequency elements removed by the band-pass filter.
2.2.2 First Mixer Circuit
The reception frequency (frX) is mixed with the first local
signal (fvco) from the VCO by first mixer QF03, and first
IF signals consisting of their difference are generated.
frx - fvco = 44.95 (MHz)
frx : Reception frequency
fvco : First local signal
2.2.3 First IF Amplifier Circuit
Bandwidth of crystal filter FH01 depends on setting of
channel separation.
After being amplified by approximately 20 dB by first IF
amplifier QH03, the 44.95 MHz first IF signal is input to
pin 16 of second IF IC QH04.

5
2.2.4 Second IF Circuit
The second IF IC comprises a second local oscillator,
second mixer, second IF amplifier, wave detector, noise
amplifier, and noise wave detector.
The first IF signal passes through pin 16 of second IF IC
QH04 and is input to the second mixer built into QH04.
The first IF signal and second local signal are mixed, and
the first IF signal is converted into a 455 kHz second IF
signal. After having adjacent signal elements eliminated
by ceramic filter FH05 (6 dB bandwidth ±6.0 kHz or
greater), the second IF signal is converted into an audio
signal by the second IF amplifier and a quadrature wave
detector.

2.2.6 Squelch Circuit
A portion of the audio signal output from pin 9 of second
IF IC QH04 is input to a band-pass filter consisting of
CH23, RH22,CH30,RH14, CH21, CH22, RH12 and
RH13. Noise elements are extracted from the audio signal
by the band-pass filter and input to pin 8 of QH04 as the
noise signal. The noise signal has approximately 40 kHz
elements only amplified by a noise amplifier built into
QH04 to generate the squelch signal. This squelch signal
is converted into a DC signal by the noise wave detector
built into QH04 and then output from pin 14 of QH04.
Refer to figure 2-4 for a description of the squelch on and
off operation.
2.2.7 Tone Decoder
A portion of the audio signal output from pin 9 of second
IF IC QH04 is input to tone detector circuit built into base
band IC QM01 as the tone signal.
At this point, if the QM01 detects a match between the
input tone signal and the transceiver's tone signal setting,
output signals from pins 22 of QM01 is input to pin 69 of
microprocessor QL02. And the high level signal is output
from pin 65 and 66 of QL02. (Refer to figure 2-4) The high
level signal is input to AF mute switch QM02, causing it to
turn on. This causes an audio signal to be output from
internal speaker EL01.
2.3 Transmitter Block
2.3.1 Microphone Amplifier
Audio signal is input to the microphone amplifier built into base band IC QM01 and amplified by approximately 47 dB. QM01
has a built-in pre-emphasis circuit (6 dB/oct frequency characteristics), and the high-frequency components of the audio
signal are boosted and modulated. Also, the frequency elements 3 kHz and above are eliminated by low-pass filter built into
QM01 to limit the bandwidth. Refer to figure 2-5 for a description of the microphone mute switch QM09 operation.
