THERORY OF OPERATION INTRODUCTION GMRS X1 is a micro size15 channel portable FM transceiver constructed with a microprocessor controlled, temperature compensated Phase Locked Loop (PLL) frequency synthesizer. The radio features a double conversion receiver and a direct FM transmitter modulator. A special integrated circuit provides support to sub-audible signaling (CTCSS) and most of the receiving parts are switched off periodically in the power saver mode to reduce battery current drain during standby.
The Block Diagram RF and Control Circuit Diagrams for GMRS X1 shall be used in associate with the following circuit description. CIRCUIT DESCRIPTIONS 1) PHASE-LOCK LOOP (PLL) CIRCUIT * REFERENCE OSCILLATOR The reference oscillator consists of X301 in U301 with a frequency of 12.8MHz. This comparison frequency is selected by decoding the first three bits of the data input from microcomputer. * PROGRAMMABLE DIVIDER The programmable divider in U301 consists of a prescaler with a 7 bit control register followed by a 11-bit internal programmable divider. The overall division ratio is selected by a single 19-bit world located on the serial data bus. * PHASE COMPARATOR A digital-type phase comparator in U301 with output and an open drain lock detect output compares divided VCO frequency with the comparison frequency. It generates a correction voltage that is applied to a low-pass filter consisting of R319,R318,R317 and C317,EC302,C316,C315 then sent to the VCO circuit. * VCO CIRCUIT The transmit/receive frequency is directly generated by the Colpitts oscillation circuit contains Q302. The oscillation frequency is variable by applying the VCO control voltage to variable to variable capacitors D304. 2) TRANSMITTER * MIC AMP CIRCUIT Voice signal from the microphone is applied to microphone amplifier U506 contains a high-pass filter, low-pass filter that has a 6dB/oct response between 300Hz and 3 kHz,and eliminates hamonics above 3 kHz. The pre-emphasized audio signal is applied to VR501 to adjust maximum frequency deviation. * VCO AND AMPLIFIER The VCO signal output is through amplified by Q203, Q202 and then fed to power amplifier Q201. * POWER AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT Q201 provides approximately 4.8V DC power source. Signals from Q201 is supplied through antenna switch D201 to a low-pass filter made up of L204, L203, L202 and C201-CC207, then applied to Antenna Jack. 3) RECEIVER * ANT SWITCHING CIRCUIT Signals from antenna connector fed to the antenna switching circuit throught the low pass filter consisting of L204, L203, L202 and C201-C207. In receive mode, D201 is turned off, isolates the antenna from the transmitter circuit and matching circuitry, so that the incoming signals are fed to the RF amplifier through L101. * RF AMPIFIER CIRCUIT The signals from the switching circuit are fed to the RF amplifier Q104 through a band pass filter. * FIRST MIXER CIRCUIT The amplified signals are fed to Gate 1 of the first mixer Q102 through C110.
First local oscillator signal is supplied to Gate 2 of Q102 form the PLL circuit through C126 to convert the RF signals into 21.4MHz first IF signal. * IF CIRCUIT The first IF signals from Q102 are fed to the matched pair crystal filter XCF101, then IF signals are amplified in Q103. And those signals are fed to U401 which is composed of the second local oscillator, second mixer, limiter amplifier, quadrature detector and active filter circuit. The second local oscillator at 20.945MHz with X402,and is fed to the second mixer with the first IF signals to convert into 455kHz second IF signals.. The second IF signals leave through pin 3,and are fed to external ceramic filters FL401 which has excellent selectivity, then fed to U101 (pin 5) again to be amplified and detected. The detected AF signals are output from pin 9. * AUDIO AND SQUELCH CIRCUIT The detected audio signals are put through a 6dB/oct de-emphasis circuit made up of C507 and R519. The signal is then applied to audio power amplifier U505 through the volume control U507 to obtain enough power to driver the speaker. Part of the recovered noise signal is fed to the integrated operational amplifier inside U401 which, with C403,R405, C405, C404,R406 makes up an low pass filter . The DC signal detected by U401 (pin13) reaches the integrated DC amplifier in U101 which has hysteresis to prevent jitter. The sensitivity of squelch is adjusted by U2. 4) HAND FREE It connects the telephone to jack J2 and checks the connection in PIN4 of U503. During the calling, it turns MONITOR switch of Q506, Q507, Q508, Q509 off, then RF stops 5) AUDIO IN Jack J506 receives external AUDIO, and amplifies in U505. When RF signal is received, AUDIO IN switch of U504 is off, then it receives RF signal. OPERATION Please refer to the user’s manual for details HJC-PMR X2 user’s manual 1. description
