The modulated carrier signal from VCO is pre-amplified at Q104 and Q406, and controlled at D404
and D405. Then it is amplified by the front-stage amplifier Q401, the pre-driver Q402 and the final-stage
amplifier Q403 orderly. Finally it will be transmitted via antenna after ultra harmonics are removed by the
LC low-pass filter circuit.
APC circuit is composed of Q404, Q405 and U401. U401 controls the bias voltage at the gates of
Q402 and Q403, to control TX current and to further regulate power.
