-3 RF CIRCUIT (RF UNIT)
The RF
circ
uit ampUlies slgnals within the range
ol
Irequency coverage and filters out-ot-band signaIs.
The RF ampliliers
(al
-a4
) employ gallium arsenic
FIT
s
(35K121). The combinatIon ol the RF amplifiers and
tuned bandpass filters expand the dynamic range and
enhance the sensitivity tor the high frequency. Each
tuned amplifier has a
pp
roxi
ma
tely 10 dB gain.

0 10 employ varactor diodes which are controlled
by the PLL loek voltage. The voltage is
curr
ent-ampüüed
at the
OC
am
plil
ier circuit (IC3a, ICl a) and is then applied
to
the varactor diodes. These varactor diodes tune
the
ce
nter trequency of an RF passband tor wide bandwidth
receiving and 9000 image response rejection.

separate filters through switching diodes (

011, 0 18, 025) depending on the range of frequency
co
verage. The relay circuit (RL1,
RL

of switching diodes tor the

(1) BPF1 (25.0000

.9999 MHz)
The 25.oooo

.9999 MHz signals pass through a parallel
resonant circuit (
06
, L

, C15) to suppress ha
lf
of the
reeeive freque

d are then
applied to an
RF
amplifier (
01)
via a tuned bandpass
filter (
07
, 0 8, L12
-L
14). The amplified signa!s are
applied to a 2nd RF amplifier (
07)
through a tuned band-
pass filter (Dg,
010
, L16
-L1S
).
(2) BPF2 (90.0000
-249.9999
MHz)
The 90
.0000-2
49.9999 MHz signals pass Ihrough a
parallel resonan, circuit (
013,
L22, C25)
to
suppress
half of the
recei

interference signaIs and are
the
n appli
ed
to a series resona
nt
circuit (0 14, L70, C6

to suppress streng signals in a frequency ran
ge
of
BO-
110 MHz, sueh as FM and TV broadcasting stations.
The signals are applied to an RF amplifier (
02)
via a
tuned bandpass lilter (0 15, L23
-L2

li
ed signaIs are applied to a 2nd RF amplifier (07)
through another tuned bandpass filler (0
