HKLN4216CJune, 2005 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. Figure 11-2. UHF Transmitter Block Diagram 11.3.1 Transmitter Power Amplifier The transmitter power amplifier has three stages of amplification. The first stage, Q100, operates in Class A from the 5T source. It provides 17 dB of gain and an output of 50 mW. The current drain is typically 30mA. Components C105 and L103 match the output of Q100 to the 50Ω input of the module U110. U110 is a two stage Silicon MOS FET power amplifier module. Drain voltage is obtained from UNSW B+ after being routed through current-sense resistor R150 in the power control circuit. The output power of the module is controlled by varying the DC gate bias on U110 pin 2 (VGG). 11.3.2 Antenna Switch The antenna switch consists of two pin diodes, D120 and D121. In the receive mode, both diodes are off. Signals applied at the antenna or at jack J140 are routed, via the harmonic filter, through network C122-C124 and L121, to the receiver input. In the transmit mode, Q170 is on and TXB+ is present, forward-biasing both diodes into conduction. The diode current is 20 mA, set by R120-R121. The transmitter RF from U110 is routed through D120, and via the harmonic filter to the antenna jack. D121 conducts, shunting RF power and preventing it from reaching the receiver. L121 is selected to appear as a 1/4 wave at UHF, so that the low impedance of D121 appears as a high impedance at the junction of D120 and the harmonic filter input. This provides a high series impedance and low shunt impedance divider between the power amplifier output and receiver input. 11.3.3 Harmonic Filter The harmonic filter consists of components C130-C136 and L130-L132. The harmonic filter is a seven-pole Chebychev low-pass configuration, optimized for low insertion loss, with a 3 dB frequency of approximately 655 MHz and typically less than 0.8 dB insertion loss in the passband.

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. 11.3.5 Power Control The power control circuit is a dc-coupled amplifier whose output is the dc gate bias voltage (VGG) applied to the two stages of the RF power amplifier U110. The output power of the transmitter is adjusted by varying the setting of the power-set DAC contained in the ASFICcmp IC (DACG, U451 pin 6). This PWR_SET voltage is applied to U150 pin 3. Stage U150-2 compares the voltage drop across current sense resistor R150 to the voltage drop across resistor R151 caused by current flow through Q150, and adjusts its output (pin 7) to maintain equal voltages at pins 5 and 6. Thus the current flow through Q150, and hence its emitter voltage, is proportional to the current drawn by stage U110, which is in turn proportional to the transmitter output power. The emitter voltage of Q150 is applied to U150 pin 2, where it is compared to the power set voltage PWR_SET at pin 3. The output of U150 pin 1 is divided by R110 and R111 and applied as a gate voltage to the power amplifier U110. By varying this gate voltage as needed to keep the voltages at U150 pins 2 and 3 equal, power is maintained at the desired setting. Excessive final current, for example due to antenna mismatch, causes a lowering of the voltage at U150 pin 6, an increased voltage at pin 2, and a lowering of the voltage at pin 1 and of the gate voltage VGG. This prevents damage to the final stage due to excessive current. 11.4 UHF Frequency Generation Circuitry The frequency generation system, shown in Figure 11-3, is composed of two circuit blocks, the Fractional-N synthesizer IC U201, the VCO/Buffer IC U251, and associated circuitry. Figure 11-4 shows the peripheral interconnect and support circuitry used in the synthesizer block, and Figure 11- 5 details the internal circuitry of the VCOBIC and its interconnections to the surrounding components. Refer to the schematic to identify reference designators. The Fractional-N synthesizer is powered by regulated 5 V and 3 V provided by U310 and U330 respectively. 5 V is applied to U201 pins 13 and 30, and 3 V is applied to pins 5, 20, 34 and 36. The synthesizer in turn generates a super-filtered 4.5 V supply (VSF, from pin 28) to power U251. In addition to the VCO, the synthesizer also interfaces with the logic and ASFICcmp circuits. Programming for the synthesizer is accomplished through the microprocessor SPI_DATA_OUT,
HKLN4216CJune, 2005 490-527 MHz UHF Theory Of Operation: UHF Frequency Generation Circuitry 11-5 SPI_CLK, and SYNTH_CS (chip select) lines (U409 pins 100, 1 and 47 respectively). A logic high (3 V) from U201 pin 4 indicates to the microprocessor that the synthesizer is locked. Figure 11-3. UHF Frequency Generation Unit Block Diagram Transmit modulation from the ASFICcmp (U451 pin 40) is applied to U201 pin 10 (MOD_IN). An electronic attenuator in the ASFICcmp adjusts overall transmitter deviation by varying the audio level applied to the synthesizer IC. Internally the audio is digitized by the Fractional-N synthesizer and applied to the loop divider to provide the low-port modulation. The audio is also routed through an internal attenuator for the purpose of balancing the low port and high port modulation and reducing the deviation by 6 dB for 12.5 kHz channels, and is available at U201 pin 41 (VCO_MOD). This audio signal is routed to the VCOs modulator. 11.4.1 Fractional-N Synthesizer The Fractional-N synthesizer, shown in Figure 11-4, uses a 16.8 MHz crystal (Y201) to provide the reference frequency for the system. External components C201-C203, R202 and D201 are also part of the temperature-compensated oscillator circuit. The dc voltage applied to varactor D201 from U201 pin 25 is determined by a temperature-compensation algorithm within U201, and is specific to each crystal Y201, based on a unique code assigned to the crystal that identifies its temperature characteristics. Stability is better than 2.5 ppm over temperatures of -30 to 60°C. Software- programmable electronic frequency adjustment is achieved by an internal DAC which provides a frequency adjustment voltage from U201 pin 25 to varactor D201. The synthesizer IC U201 further divides the 16.8 MHz signal to 2.1 MHz, 2.225 MHz, or 2.4 MHz for use as reference frequencies. It also provides a buffered 16.8 MHz signal at U201 pin 19 for use by the ASFICcmp. To achieve fast locking of the synthesizer, an internal adapt charge pump provides higher current at U201 pin 45 to quickly force the synthesizer within lock range. The required frequency is then locked by the normal mode charge pump at pin 43. A loop filter (C243-C245 and R243-R245) removes noise and spurs from the steering voltage applied to the VCO varactors, with additional filtering located in the VCO circuit. Both the normal and adapt charge pumps get their supply from the capacitive voltage multiplier made up of C221-C224 and D220-D221. Two 3 V square waves from U201 pins 14-15 provide the drive signals for the voltage multiplier, which generates 12.1 V at U201 pin 47. This voltage is filtered by C225-C228.

June, 2005HKLN4216C 11-6490-527 MHz UHF Theory Of Operation: UHF Frequency Generation Circuitry 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. Figure 11-4. UHF Synthesizer Block Diagram 11.4.2 Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) The VCOBIC (U251), shown in Figure 11-5, in conjunction with the Fractional-N synthesizer (U201) generates RF in both the receive and the transmit modes of operation. The TRB line (U251 pin 19) determines which oscillator and buffer are enabled. A sample of the RF signal from the enabled oscillator is routed from U251 pin 12 through a low pass filter, to the prescaler input of the synthesizer IC (U201 pin 32). After frequency comparison in the synthesizer, a resultant DC control voltage is used to steer the VCO frequency. When the PLL is locked on frequency, this voltage can vary between 3.5 V and 10 V. L251 and C252 further attenuate noise and spurs on the steering line voltage. In the receive mode, the TRB line (U251 pin 19) is low. This activates the receive VCO and the receive buffer of U251, which operate within the range of 420.15 to 450.15 MHz. The VCO frequency is determined by tank inductor L254, C253-C257, and varactor D251. The buffered RF signal at U251 pin 8 is further amplified by Q280 and applied as RX_INJ to the low-pass injection filter in the receiver front end circuit. In the transmit mode, U251-19 is driven high by U201 pin 2, enabling the transmit VCO and buffer. The 490-527 MHz RF signal from U251 pin 10 is applied as TX_INJ to the input of the transmitter circuit via matching network C290-C291 and L291.
