TS-440S

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

I=1800, J=7244, K=19800, L=3239, M=4 1

 

fin = 0 .388 fsTD

1 1

When fIN = 30 MHz (USB mode) in formula 10 , f IN an d fSTD have the following relationship :

I = 1800, J = 7244, K = 19800, L = 3239, M = 7 3

 

.' . fIN = 0 .833 fSTD

Since the precision of the reference crystal oscillator use d in the TS-440 is 10 ppm (—10 to 50°C) and the receive r system has the characteristics shown in items i) and ii), th e total accuracy is stable at any point from 30 kHz to 30 MHz . The maximum amount of frequency shift is only +/— 30 0 Hz (see formula 12 ) . The characteristic shown in ite m

iii)enables variable band functions such as IF shift to be im - plemented, using the microprocessor . The microprocesso r also is used to set carrier points by adjusting fcAR, and to se t and adjust the amount of IF shift .

So far received frequencies in the SSB mode have been dis -

cussed . For receive modes other than SSB, and in transmit mode, operating frequency is determined by the referenc e frequency and frequency division data .

In CW receive mode, fvco is shifted down 800 Hz and used as fvco3 . In AM or FM receive mode, fCAR generation i s stopped . In FM receive mode, fHET is modulated by addin g audio signals to VCO5 from the microphone . FSK (RTTY) i s transmitted in LSB mode and uses AFSK by adding audio sig - nals externally .

The type of frequency displayed differs, depending on th e mode, as shown in Table 1 .
