The 19.2 MHz frequency generated by the crystal oscillator (X100) goes into the PLL IC (U100) for
frequency division, generating the reference frequency. Meanwhile, the frequency generated by VCO
goes into PLL IC (U100) for frequency division. The resulting frequency will be compared with reference
frequency in terms of phase difference in the phase detector. After comparison, the resulting frequency
is converted to CV voltage via the loop filter, to control and lock the frequency.

VCO is composed of transistors (Q100, Q103, Q106, and Q110), varactors and four Colpitts oscillators.
There are four VCOs in all: two VCOs (Q100 and Q103) used to transmit excitation signals and another
two VCOs (Q106 and Q110) to receive LO signals. U302 controls the operating frequency of the
