INTRODUCTION
The HEADLINE HLD-100 Series of Rf Link Modules from HEADLINE utilizes the latest technology in its
design and manufacturing.
Both the UHF and VHF models are PLL (Phase Lock Loop Synthesizer)/microprocessor controlled. And
offer one to five Watts of power with 16 channel capability. Multiple functions Including 1200 to 9600
baud rates. AC and / or DC audio Coupling. GMSK and FSK modulation are standard in these Fully
programmable wide bandwidth RF Link Module units.
The radio is programmed using a IBMR Personal Computer, DOSR based software, an interface
module and a programming Cable. This allows the radio to be tailored to meet the Requirements of the
individual user and the System(s) it is Operating within.
FEATURES
● Busy Channel Lockout
● 16 Channels
● TX Time-out
● Power Save
● 1/5 Watt Programmable Output
● 12.5 / 25 kHz Programmable Channel Spacing
Busy Channel Lockout
The Busy Channel Lockout feature, when enabled, disables the transmitter when the receiving channel
is busy and the user attempts to transmit.
16 Channels
The HLD-100V2 Series radio can store up to 16 channels within the same band.
TX TIME-OUT
The TX Time-out feature, when enabled, limits the amount of Time that the user can continuously
transmit. This time can be Set in increments of 10 seconds from 10 seconds to 990 second.
Power Save
The Power Save feature is used when an external battery is used as the power source. When Power
Save is enabled, the receiver “ON” and “OFF” time can be programmed into the radio and allows the
operator to set the length of time the receiver is asleep.

THEORY OF OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
DIGITAL CIRCUITS
RF CIRCUITS
RF CIRCUITS PLL SYNTHESIZER
RECEIVER
INTRODUCTION
The VHF radios are comprised of two PCB’s(an RF PCB and digital PCB). These boards are connected
with an 20pin female and male connector. The digital board is interfaced with external data equipment
through the 9pin d-sub male connector, which controls the radio and data receiving and sending.
DIGITAL CIRCUITS
The Digital circuit contains the CPU, the channel select switch, and associated digital circuits.
TX-SIGNAL CIRCUIT
The TX data signal comes from Pin 2 of Con 2, and goes through IC1-C. The TX-signal is amplified by
IC503-C,D.
The TX-signal is filtered by IC509-B,C which is a 4’th order low pass filter, the output of IC509-B is then
fed to the RF board for TX modulation.
RX-SIGNAL CIRCUIT
The RX- data signal comes from the RF board. Which is connected with pin 20 of Con 1. The RXsignal is amplified by IC507 switched by IC1-A and adjusted by R12. The amplified signal goes to pin
10 of Con 2.
RSSI DETECTOR
From the RF board, the RSSI (Received Signal Strength
Indicator) signal flows to IC510-A through R129. The pulse is injected from pin 1 of IC510-A every I mS
and C147 is discharged. It is then charged by R133. The RSSI signal is simultaneously input to pin 3 of
IC510-A and those signals are compared. The compared signal is output from IC510-A. Pin 1 of IC510A and the CPU detects the pulse width. The pulse width is varied by RSSI DC voltage, therefore, the
carrier detection is controlled by the CPU.
EEPROM
RX / TX channel and RSSI detection level as well as other data from the programmer are stored in the
EEPROM. The data stored is retained without power supplied. This is a non-volatile memory. The
EEPROM may have information re-programmed or erased. IC502 is an EEPROM with 2048(8X256)
capacity and data is written and read serially.
CHANNEL SELECTOR
One of 16 channels may be selected using the Dip Switch (SW2). SW2 encodes the channel number,
PAGE - 6
selected into 4-bit binary code. The binary code plus one equals the channel number. The binary code
is decoded by the CPU enabling the appropriate RX or TX frequency and associated data to be
selected from the EEPROM.
DC TO DC CONVERTER
The main DC power is injected to the DC to DC converter. The DC to DC converter regulates the
various input power supply voltage and outputs a constant voltage of 7.2 Volts. It is a source for all of
the RF and digital circuits.
The DC to DC converter is formed by IC801, Q801, Q802, L801,802 and R804,11. IC801 is a switch
mode DC to DC Converter IC. Input DC various appears as a voltage various through R804,11. IC801
detects the voltage and controls the switching pulse. As the switching pulses, Q801 and Q802 switches
the input DC of various supply voltages and generates the constant DC of supply voltage.
RF CIRCUITS
TRANSMITTER
The transmitter is comprised of :
1. Buffer
2. P.A..Module
3. Low Pass Filter
4. Antenna Switch
5. A.P.C.Circuits
BUFFER
VCO output level is -6dBm and amplified
and gain.
to +10dBm (VHF). The buffer consists of Q5,22 for isolation
P. A MODULE
The P.A.PART contains Q22,26,27. Three stage amplifier Q22 amplifies the TX signal from +10dBm to
100mW. Q26 is amplified to 0.5W. Q27 amplifies to 5W and then matched to 50 Ohms using the L. C.
network, thereby reducing the harmonics by -30dB.
ANTENNA SWITCH
When transmitting, the diodes D21,22 and D23,24 are forward biased enabling the RF signal passage
to the antenna. D6 is shorted to ground inhibiting the RF signal to front end. In receive the diodes
D21,22 and D23,24 are revered biased passing the signal from the antenna through L1 and C173 to the
front end without signal loss.
RF CIRCUITS PLL SYNTHESIZER
14.4MHz TCXO
The TCXO contains the 3-stage thermistor network compensation and crystal oscillator and modulation
ports.
Compensation is ±5 PPM or less from -30c to +60c.
PLL IC DUAL MODULES PRESCALER
Input frequency of 14.4 MHz to IC6 MB15203SL pin 1 is
PAGE - 7
Divided to 6.25kHz or 5kHz or 2.5KHz by the reference counter, and then supplied to the comparator.
RF signal input from VCO is divided to 1/64 at the prescaler in IC6, divided by A and N counter in IC6 to
determine frequency steps, and then supplied to the comparator. PLL comparison frequency is
6.25/5/2.5kHz.
The A and N counter is programmed to obtain the desired frequency by serial data in the CPU. In the
comparator, the phase difference between reference and VCO signal is compared. When the phase of
the reference frequency is leading, Fv is the output, but when VCO frequency is leading, Fr is the
output. When Fv=Fr, phase detector out is a very small pulse. 64/65 modulus prescaler is comprised in
IC6:
LEVEL SHIFTER & CHARGE PUMP
The charge pump is used for changing output signals Fr,Fv at PLL IC from 0-5v to 0-7.2v necessary for
controlling the VCO.
REFERENCE FREQUENCY LPF
The Loop Filter contains R56,57,58, C59,61,62. LPF settling time is 12mS with 1kHz frequency. This
also reduces the residual side-band noise for the best signal-to-noise ratio.
VCO
The VCO consist of an RX VCO and a TX VCO. It is switched TX/RX by the power source. It is
configured as a colpits oscillator and connected to the buffer as a cascade bias in order to save power.
The varicap diode D301,303 are low-resistance elements and produce a change in frequency with a
change in reverse bias voltage(2-7v). L308/L303 are resonant coils, which changes the control voltage
by the tuning core. D302 modulation diode, modulates the audio signal. C317 compensates for the nonlinearity of the VCO due to modulation diode, and maintains a constant modulation regardless of
frequency.
RECEIVER
FRONT-END
The receive signal is routed backward through the low pass filter, then onward to Pin 1 of the Receiver
Front End Module to a bandpass filter consisting of (C173 through C183, L106 through L107) is coupled
to the base of Q19 which serves as an RF amplifier. Diode D103 serves as protection from static RF
overload from nearby transmitters. The output of Q19 is then coupled to a second bandpass filter
consisting of (C12 through C15 and L110 through L111). The output of Pin 6 is then coupled to the
doubly balanced mixer D709. The receiver front end module is factory pre-tuned and requires no
adjustment. Repair is effected by replacement of the entire module of the proper banded module. These
are UHF 148MHz to 174MHz.
FIRST MIXER
D709, L720 and L723 are double balanced mixers which provide the 45.1MHz intermediate frequency
output. The filtered frequency from the front end module is coupled to L720. The 45.1MHz 1F output is
matched to the input of the 2-pole monolithic filter by L727,728, C24 and C25. The crystal filter provides
a bandwidth of ±7.2kHz from the operating frequency providing a high degree of spurious and
intermodulation protection.
Additionally, a 90MHz trap (XF1,2) is also placed at the filter output to provide additional attenuation of
the second order IMD. The output of the filter is impedance matched by R161 to the base of the post of
filter IF amplifier Q17.
PAGE - 8
SECOND OSCILLATOR MIXER LIMITER AND FM DETECTOR
The output of the post filter amplifier, Q17, is coupled via C98 to the input of IC3(TA31136FN). IC3 is a
monolithic single conversion FM transceiver, containing a mixer, the second local oscillator, limiter and
quadrature detector. Crystal XT1 44.645MHz is used to provide resultant 455kHz signal from the output
of the second mixer. The mixer output is then routed to CF1(455F). These ceramic filters provide the
adjacent channel selectivity of 25kHz bandwidth.
RSSI (RECEIVER SIGNAL STRENGTH INDICATOR)
The RSSI signal is output from IC3 on pin 12. As the receiver signals the output, DC voltage is varied
as much as receiver signal strength.
