Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO)
(Refer to Figure 2-4 and the VHF Voltage Controlled Oscillator schematic diagram)
The VCOB IC (U3801), shown in Figure 2-5, in conjunction with the Fractional-N synthesizer
(U3701) generates RF in both the receive and the transmit modes of operation. The TRB line
(U3801 pin 19) determines which oscillator and buffer are enabled. A sample of the RF signal from
the enabled oscillator is routed from U3801 pin 12, through a low pass filter, to the prescaler input
(U3701 pin 32). After frequency comparison in the synthesizer, a resultant CONTROL VOLTAGE is
received at the VCO. This voltage is a DC voltage typically between 3.5V and 9.5V when the PLL is
locked on frequency.
