Introduction

This Chapter provides a detailed theory of operation for the UHF circuits in the radio. For details of

the theory of operation and trouble shooting for the the associated Controller circuits refer to the

Controller Section of this manual.

UHF (403-470MHz) Receiver

2.1

Receiver Front-End

The receiver is able to cover the UHF range from 403 to 470 MHz. It consists of four major blocks:

front-end bandpass ﬁlters and pre-ampliﬁer, ﬁrst mixer, high-IF, low-IF and receiver back-end . Two

varactor-tuned bandpass ﬁlters perform antenna signal pre-selection. A cross over quad diode

mixer converts the signal to the ﬁrst IF of 44.85 MHz. Low-side ﬁrst injection is used.
