CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

I 1. Overview

This transceiver is an 800MHz-band (TK-9401, 9OOMHz-band (TK-941) EFJ LTRrM trunked-system- compatible FM transceiver that can be programmed to operate on both LTR and conventional systems.

2. Circuit Configuration by Frequency

The receiver I S a double-conversion superhet with a first intermediate frequency (IF) of 45.0375MHz (TK- 940), 39.0375MHz (TK-941)and a second IF of 455kHz. Incoming signals from the antenna are mixed with the local signal from the PLL to produce the first IF of 45.0375MHz (TK-940), 39.0375MHz (TK-941).

This is then mixed with the 44.5825MHz (TK-940), 38.5825MHz (TK-941) second local osclllator output t o produce the 455Hz second IF. This is detected to give the demodulated signal.

The transmit signal frequency is generated by the PLL VCO, and modulated by the signal from the micro- phone. It is then amplified by TX amplifier and PA amplifier, and sent to the antenna.

3.Receiving System

3-1. RF unit

An incoming RF signal from the antenna terminal

passes through the antenna switch (D19, D20, and D21 are off) and then the bandpass filter (L9). The

signal is ampliked by RF amplifier 024, and passes through the bandpass filter (L6) again. The resulting signal goes to the flrst mixer (021), where it is mixed with the first local oscillator signal output from the frequency synthesizer t o produce the first IF 45.0375MHz (TK-9401, 39.0375MHz (TK-941).
