VHF (136-174MHz) Frequency Synthesis
A voltage of 5V applied to the super filter input (U3201 pin 30) supplies an output voltage of 4.5 VDC
(VSF) at pin 28. It supplies the VCO, VCO modulation bias circuit (via R3363) and the synthesizer
charge pump resistor network (R3251, R3252). The synthesizer supply voltage is provided by the
5V regulator U3211.
In order to generate a high voltage to supply the phase detector (charge pump) output stage at pin
VCP (U3201-47), a voltage of 13 VDC is being generated by the positive voltage multiplier circuitry
(D3201, C3202, C3203). This voltage multiplier is basically a diode capacitor network driven by two
(1.05MHz) 180 degrees out of phase signals (U3201-14 and -15).
Output LOCK (U3201-4) provides information about the lock status of the synthesizer loop. A high
level at this output indicates a stable loop. IC U3201 provides the 16.8 MHz reference frequency at
pin 19.
The serial interface (SRL) is connected to the microprocessor via the data line DATA (U3201-7),
clock line CLK (U3201-8), and chip enable line CSX (U3201-9).

Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO)
The Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) consists of the VCO/Buffer IC (VCOBIC, U3301), the TX
and RX tank circuits, the external RX buffer stages, and the modulation circuitry.
