The integrated circuit IC1, through its two sections, filters the output of the frequency
comparator, both towards the modulating varicap diodes and towards the phasehook
detectioncircuit.
It may be noted that the gate bias voltage is removed from the output MOSFETs through
transistorsTR4and TR3to suspendthe RF outputof theunit whilethe phase controlloop
