KME 800 Instruction Draft1, Receiver CircuitThe FM dual-conversion super heterodyne receiver is designed for operation in the 851-870MHz frequencyrange.The Receiver has intermediate frequencies (IF) of 82.2MHz and 455KHz.Adjacent channel selectivity is obtained by using two band pass filters, a 82.2MHz crystal filter and a 455KHzceramic filter.The FM-detector is Quadrature discriminator.1-1 Receiver Front-endA RF signal from antenna is coupled though the low pass filters, antenna switch and band pass filter to theinput of low noise amplifier TR201.  The output of TR201 is coupled through band pass filter to input of 1’stMixer TR203.Front End selectivity is provided by these band pass filter.1-2  1’st MixerThe 1’st Mixer is a Transistor-Mixer (TR203), that converts a RF signal the 851-870MHz range to 82.2MHz1’st IF frequency.In the mixer stage, A RF signal from the Front-end RF filter is applied to the input of the Transistor-Mixer.1-3  1’st IFThe 82.2MHz 1’st IF output signal is coupled from the output of T201 through IF amplifier TR204 and Crystalfilter FL201 to IF-amplifier TR205.The highly-selective crystal filters FL201-1 and FL 201-2 provide the first portion of the receiver IFselectivity. The out put of the filters is coupled through the impedance-matching net work T204, C246 andR224 to 1’st IF amplifier TR205.1-4  2’nd Mixer, 2’nd IF filter,2’nd IF amplifier and FM detectorIC201 is an one-chip IC for FM communication system.  It includes 2’nd Mixer, 2’nd IF amplifier and FMdetector.The 2’nd Mixer is a Balanced Mixer, that converts a 1’st IF signal 82.2MHz range to 455KHz 2’nd IFfrequency.  The 2’nd IF signal is applied to Ceramic Filter FL203, which provides the 455KHz selectivity. The output of the 2’nd IF filter is applied to 2’nd IF amplifier in IC201.The 2’nd IF signal is then amplified, filtered and limited.  Discriminator (DSC201) shifts the 2’nd IF signal by90deg and applies it to the internal FM detector.The FM detector compares the shifted IF signal to the internal IF signal to recover the audio modulation. Theaudio output of IC201 is applied to audio amplifier buffer IC205-2.The audio output of IC205-2 is then applied to the SYSTEM CONTROL UNIT.2, Transmitter CircuitThe Transmitter Circuit consists of one Class-A Amplifier TR101, Pre-Driver IC101, PA Module IC102, RFAmplifier TR102, Automatic Power Control Circuit (TR105- TR107), Antenna Switch (CD103, CD105-CD107 and CD109), Low Pass Filter (Micro Strip Line and C146-C153, C181 and C183).2-1 Class-A AmplifierThe 806-825MHz and 851-870MHz RF input from Synthesizer output of TR316 is applied to the band passfilter FL301 through an attenuator pad R301-R303. RF input level is about +3dBm, that is amplified to+10dBm by TR101.  This is controlled by TXENB+.
2-2 Pre-DriverThe output of TR101 is applied to the Pre-Driver IC101 through an attenuator pad R106-R108. The output ofR107 is also amplified to about 600mW by IC101. This is controlled by TXENB+. The Pre-Driver consists ofthree stages RF amplifier. The first and second stages in IC101 are operated in Class-B. The third stage inIC101 is operated in Class-C.2-3 PA ModuleThe output of IC101 is applied to the PA Module IC102 through an attenuator pad R110-R112. The output ofR110 is amplified to about 13W. The PA Module consists of three stages RF amplifier. The first stage powersupply voltage is controlled by power control circuit. The second and third stage power supply voltages aresupplied by B_A+ via TR108.  The first and second RF amplifiers are operated in Class-B. The third RFamplifier is operated in Class-C.2-4 RF AmplifierThe input (about 13W) of the RF Amplifier is amplified to 25W.Power Supply voltage for the RF Amplifier is connected with POWER SUPPLY BOARD through C1.2-4 Automatic Power ControlThe Automatic Power Control circuit samples the output power to the antenna to maintain a constant powerlevel across the band.  Also, a thermistor circuit (TR104 and RT101) senses the PA Module temperature toreduce the power level when the temperature is above +110°C.  The Automatic Power Control circuit controlsthe supply voltage to the first stage in PA Module IC102.  Directional coupler provides a sample of transmitpower for diode CD102.  Diode CD102 produce a positive DC voltage proportional to the transmit circuitoutput power level.  When above VSWR 3, reflect coupler provides a sample of reflection power for diodeCD101. Diode CD101 and CD102 produce voltages are summed, then that is compared to APCREF (D/AVoltage) from SYSTEM CONTROL UNIT by the amplifier TR105.  The collector of TR105 is applied to DCamplifier TR106 and TR107, then the output voltage of TR107 controls to the first stage of PA Module.2-5 Antenna Switch and Low Pass FilterThe Antenna Switch consists of CD103, CD105-CD107, CD109 and the Low Pass Filter consists of  microstrip line and C146-C153,C181 and C183.During transmit, TXENB+ line from SYSTEM CONTROL UNIT is high level.  Transistor TR109 turns onsupply +9VT to the Class-A Amplifier and Pre-Driver, Automatic Power Control circuit and PIN diodeAntenna Switch CD103, CD105-CD107 and CD109. When transmitting, the Antenna Switch diode is lowimpedance.3, Frequency Synthesizer CircuitThe Frequency Synthesizer circuit receives PLL data, and control information from the microcomputer andfrom this generates the Tx / Rx RF frequencies.It also provides frequency lock status to SYSTEM CONTROL UNIT.  It consist of the Reference Oscillator,PLL Frequency Synthesizer chip IC305, Loop filter, Rx VCO TR307, Tx VCO TR304, Feedback BufferAmplifier, and Dual-Modulus Prescaler IC306. Rx VCO and Tx VCO are locked to the Reference Oscillatorby a single direct-divide synthesis loop consisting of the Feedback Buffer, Prescaler, and PLL FrequencySynthesizer chip.The Tx VCO operates over a frequency range of 403-412.5MHz and 425.5-435MHz.The Rx VCO operates over a frequency range of 384.4-393.9MHz.
3-1 Reference OscillatorThe reference oscillator consists of a 1.5-PPM TCXO (Temperature Controlled Compensated CrystalOscillator).  The standard reference oscillator frequency is 12.8MHz.The TCXO is enclosed in a RF shielded can.  The TCXO is compensated by internal temperature compensatedcircuit for both low and high temperature.  With no additional compensated the oscillator will provide 1.5 PPMstability from -30°C to +60°C.3-2 PLL Frequency Synthesizer chipPLL Frequency Synthesizer chip IC305 contains a programmable reference oscillator divider (R), phasedetector, and programmable VCO dividers (+N, A).A fixed integer number to obtain a 6.25KHz or 5KHz channel reference for the synthesizer divides thereference frequency 12.8MHz from the reference oscillator.PC PROGRAMMER can change this divide value.The internal phase detector compares the output of the reference divider with the output of internal +N,Acounter.  The +N, A count counter receives as its input the VCO frequency divided by the Prescaler andprogrammed by the microcomputer.This results in an error voltage when the phase differ and a constant output voltage when phase-detector inputcompare in frequency and phase.If a phase error is detected, an error voltage is developed and applied to the VCO DC offset and loop filter toreset the VCO frequency.  The count of the +N, A counters is controlled by the frequency data received on theSCK-, SDT- and PLLENB- line from SYSTEM CONTROL UNIT.When a different channel is selected or when changing to the transmit or receive mode an error voltage isgenerated and appears at the phase-detector output, APD(IC305-2pin), causing the Phase Locked Loop toacquire the new frequency.3-3 Loop filterThe Loop filter consists of R352 through R349 and C379, C380 and C378.This filter controls the bandwidth and stability of the synthesizer loop.When a different channel changing or changing to the transmit or receive mode, FET switch is controlled byPLLFST- for PLL lock up first (aplox 9mSEC).The output of the filter is applied to the varicaps in the transmit and receive VCO’s to adjust and maintain theVCO frequency.  The use of to VCO’s allows rapid independent selection of transmit and receive frequenciesacross the frequency split.
3-4 Rx VCOThe Rx VCO consists of FET oscillator TR307, and followed by high-gain buffer TR305.  TR305 preventsexternal loading and provides power gain.The VCO is a colpitts oscillator with the various varactors, capacitors and coil the tank circuit.The VCO is switched on and off DPTT- line.  When DPTT- is high, the Rx VCO is turned on, transistorTR307 and TR305 is on.  The output of the Rx VCO after 2 times(through R302) is typically 0dBm.  Theoutput is applied to the feedback buffer for the VCO frequency control and as the Receiver frequency to Rx1’st Mixer through the Local oscillator buffer amplifier.  The VCO voltage need only be set once at somefrequency of the band  and split, after which it operates over the entire split with no additional tuning.3-5 Tx VCOThe Tx VCO is basically the same as the Rx VCO.  The VCO consists of FET oscillator TR304 followed byhigh-gain buffer amplifier TR303.  When DPTT- is low, the Tx VCO is turned on, transistor TR303 andTR304 is on. The output of the Tx VCO after 2 times(through R301) is typically 0dBm.3-6 Common DoublerThe common doubler  consists of TR317. The common doubler does the oscillation frequency of thereception/transmission VCO 2 times.3-7 Feedback Buffer AmplifierThe output of Rx VCO and Tx VCO, from transistor TR305 and TR303 respectively, are supplied to FeedbackBuffer Amplifier IC301 and TR308.  That drives the Dual-Modulus Prescaler IC306.
3-8 Dual-Modulus PrescalerThe Dual-Modulus Prescaler completes the Phase Lock Loop(PLL) feedback path from the PLL Frequencysynthesizer chip to the Loop Filter, to the VCO’s and Feedback Buffers and then back to the PLL Frequencysynthesizer chip through the Prescaler.The Prescaler divides the VCO by 64 or 65 under control of MC(IC306-6pin) from the PLL Frequencysynthesizer chip. The output of the Prescaler is applied to the PLL Frequency synthesizer chip where it isdivided down 5KHz or 6.25KHz by and internal +N,A counter and compared in frequency and phase withthe divided-down frequency for the Reference Oscillator.  The result of this comparison is the error voltageused to maintain frequency lock.  The +N, A counter is controlled by data received from the SYSTEMCONTROL UNIT.  Depending on the operating frequency, the DC voltage at Test Point TP301 should bewithin 1.5 to 6.5 Vdc when the PLL is locked.3-9 Lock DetectThe Lock Detect circuit consists of transistor TR310 and CD323.If a large frequency error exists, the LD (IC305-14pin) positive lead from the PLL Frequency synthesizer chipwill carry negative spikes to the SYSTEM CONTROL UNIT.  When unlock ,PLLLOCK+ is low.3-10 Loop Modulation CircuitThe Loop Modulation Circuit consists of IC303.  Tx audio is integrated about fc= 0.15Hz for LoopModulation. That signal is summed with the APD (IC305-2pin).
