490-527 MHz UHF Theory Of Operation: UHF Transmitter 11-3
11.3 UHF Transmitter
The UHF transmitter covers the range of 490-527 MHz. Depending on model, the output power of the 
transmitter is either switchable on a per-channel basis between high power (4 watts) and low power 
(1 watt), or is factory preset to 2 watts. The transmitter is divided into four major blocks as shown in 
Figure 11-2.
• Power Amplifier
• Harmonic Filter 
• Antenna Matching Network
• Power Control.

11.3.4 Antenna Matching Network
The harmonic filter presents a 50Ω impedance to antenna jack J140. A matching network, made up of 
C140-C141 and L140, is used to match the antenna impedance to the harmonic filter. This optimizes 
the performance of the transmitter and receiver into the impedance presented by the antenna, 
significantly improving the antennas efficiency.

One of the auxiliary outputs of the synthesizer IC (AUX3, U201 pin 2) provides the TRB signal which 
determines the operating mode of the VCO, either receive or transmit.

The keypad block diagram is shown in Figure 11-6. Pressing a key creates two distinct voltages 
KEYPAD_ROW and KEYPAD_COL. These voltages are sent directly to the radio’s microprocessor 
on the main board. The microprocessor then...
