Theory of Operation: Transceiver Board

2.4Transceiver Board

The transceiver (XCVR) board performs the transmitter and receiver functions necessary to translate between voice and data from the VOCON board and the modulated radio-frequency (RF) carrier at the antenna. The transceiver board contains all the radio’s RF circuits for the following major components:

Receiver

Transmitter

Frequency Generation Unit (FGU)

2.4.1Interconnections

This section describes the various interconnections for the transceiver board.

2.4.1.1 Battery Connector J3

Battery connector J3 consists of three gold-plated contacts on the printed circuit board that mate with a B-plus connector assembly. Signal descriptions are in Table 2-5.

2.4.1.2 VOCON Connector P1

VOCON connector P1 (located on the XCVR board) consists of 26 gold-plated pads for the 26-pin compression connector, and one plated tool hole (pin 27) used for connector alignment. This is a digital interface carrying DC power, control, and data between the XCVR and VOCON boards. P1 connects through the compression connector to P201 on the VOCON board.

Table 2-6lists the connector pins, their signals, and functions. SPI refers to the serial peripheral interface, which is the control bus from the microprocessor. SSI is the serial synchronous interface bus for data to and from the DSP. There is a RX SSI bus for demodulated data from the receiver and a TX SSI bus for modulation data to the transmitter.
