10.3.1 Working Principle of PLL
The 19.2MHz frequency generated by the reference crystal oscillator goes to PLL for division,
generating the reference frequency (i.e. step frequency f1). Meanwhile, the frequency generated by the
VCO generates another frequency (f2) through the frequency divider in PLL. Then frequencies f1 and f2
are compared in the phase detector (PD), to generate continuous pulse current. The current goes to the
loop filter for RC integration, and is then converted to CV voltage. Then the CV voltage is sent to the
varactor of VCO. It adjusts the output frequency of VCO directly until the CV voltage becomes constant.
Then the PLL is locked, and the stable frequency output by VCO goes to the TX-RX channel after
passing through the buffer amplifier.
10.3.2 Working Principle of VCO
VCO employs Colpitts oscillator circuit (the high oscillator circuit is composed of D102, D103, D106,
D107 and DR1; the low oscillator circuit is composed of D108, D109, D110, D101 and DR2). It obtains
different output frequencies by changing the varactor's control voltage (i.e. CV voltage).
There are two types of VCO: high VCO and low VCO. Both types control EMD22 to switch operating
