4-1. Introduction
The Frequencies for transmitter and receiver first local frequencies are all derived from a signal
10.695MHz cry stal and second local frequencies are derived from 10.240 MHz crystal by means of a
Phase lcoked loop.
The first local oscillator frequencies are 16.270MHz(CH1) to 16.710MHz(CH40). The second local
frequency is fixed at 10.240MHz to generate second IF 455KHz.
Transmit, the VCO of the PLL operates 13.4825MHz(CH1) to 13.7025MHz(40CH). The VCO frequency
goes to the doublers circuit DW2, LT1, LT2 which doubles the frequency to generate 26.965MHz(CH1)
to 27.405MHz(40CH).

The VCO operating frequency for the receiver is 16.27MHz(CH1) to 16.710MHz(CH40) as the
first local oscillator, injected through the buffer amplifier Q302 into the first FET balanced mixer QR2,3.
The crystal frequency(10.24MHz) is divided by 4069times to make 2.5KHz which is fed to one
side of the phase detector. The VCO output is divided by a programmable divider, and fed to other side of
the phase detector Pin 22, 23 of IC6.
The feedback loop is closed by passing the phase detector output through an active low pass filter and using
the output to control the VCO frequency through varicap diode DV1,2.
Under locked conditions, both of phase detector input signal must be identical at 2.5KHz.
The VCO frequency is then given by ;
Receiver : Fvco / N = 0.0025 [MHz] OR Fvco = 0.0025 X N [MHz]
Since “N” is an integer, the VCO frequency can be stepped up with 2.5 KHz increments.
By suitable choice of “N” the desired output frequency can be obtained.

N Fvco N Fvco
The VCO frequency goes to the doublers circuit, with doubles the incoming signals.
Since all frequencies are obtained from the crystal controlled PLL oscillator, all outputs are
coherent with the crystal oscillator frequency and matching the same percentage accuracy.

4-3. Description Of Each Block
4-3-1. Introduction
PLL IC (IC6)
X-TAL(X2)
VARICAP DIODE(DV1,2)
IC6 is a CMOS LSI that includes most of PLL block. The VCO with varicap diode DV1,2 as
a part of the oscillator tank circuit.
QV2 is a switching transistor to connect or disconnect the tunning capacitor in the VCO oscillator
tank circuit for transmitter or receiver.
The crystal, X2(10.24MHz) and other components at PIN 1 and 24 of IC6 can make a reference
frequency oscillator with internal amplifier.
The oscillator output is internally fed to a divied by 4096 to produce A 2.5KHz swuare wave witch
is the reference input to the phase detector.
4-3-3. VCO
QV1 is connected as a hartley type oscillator with varicap diode as part of the tank circuit. With
Appropriate control voltage on D601 the VCO can be oscillate over the required range of
13.4825MHz to 16.710 MHz.
4. Modulation
- AM
The MIC input is fed to audio power amplifier IC3 which drives modulation transformer TM1.
The audio output at the secondary of TM1 is fed the modulating audui signals series with the B+
voltage to the collectors of driver QT3 and TX power AMP QT4 to modulate both these stages.
A portion of the modulating voltage is rectified with DM1 which controls QM2 and QM1 to attenuate
the MIC input to MIC AMP IC3.
The resulting feedback loop keeps the modulation from exceeding 100 percent inputs approximately
40dB greater than that requires to produce 50% modulation.
- FM
The MIC input is fed to MIC audio amplifier IC7 that drives modulation varicap diode DV1,2 in the
VOC circuit RV3 limits the incoming modulation audio levels to inhibit over modulation. While
reading the modulation factor on the modulation analyzing equipment, adjustment RV3 shall not exceed
2.0 KHz deviation.
4-5-2. Receiver
CB receiver is dual conversion super-heterodyne type with the first IF 10.695MHz and the
second IF 455KHz.
Receiver is separated two blocks, 1’st IF section and 2’nd IF section. The PLL synthesizer
supplies 1’st local frequency 16.270MHz ~ 16.710MHz.
With the provided first local frequencies QR2,3 mixes the incoming signal to generate first IF signal.
Mixed signals were filteres with the CF1(10.695MHz) crystal filter and tuned circuits.
With the 10.24MHz signal,IC1 FM IF IC converts the incoming signals to generate second IF signal.
2'nd IF is filtered by a razor sharp seramic filter CF3 coulpled.
The 455KHz signals from the 2nd IF filter were amplified and limits inernally. After amplification
the signals fed to the quadrature detector loop LR5. Than could see the recovered sifnals PIN 9
of IC1.
AM signals form the PIN 5 of IC1 were tapped with CR34 and amplified two-stage amplifier QR5,6 is a
a first 455KHz amplifier.
DR3 is a detector diode witch produce audio signal as well as negative DC voltage fir AGC action.
The negative voltage laso provides forward biasing to the mitter of ANL clipping TR QR7.
The biasing voltage has a time constant determined RR44 and CR54.
Therefore any sharp negative going pulse from DR3 will back bias QR7 and clipped.
The way to recover the AM information audio is envelope detector.
