Circuit Description 

1. Frequency Configuration

The receiver utilizes double conversion superheterodyne. The first IF is 21.4MHz and the secondis 455KHz. The first local oscillator signal is supplied from PLL circuit. Frequency needed in the

transmitter is supplied from PLL circuit. Figure 1 shows the frequency configuration.

Frequency Range: 400 MHz420MHz

450 MHz470MHz

136 MHz150MHz

150 MHz174MHz

Figure 1 frequency configuration

2. Receiver

The receiver utilizes double conversion superheterodyne.

1) Front-end RF Amplifier

The input signal from antenna is amplified in RF amplifier (Q27) after passing through

the receive/transmit switch circuit and a 3-stage LC band pass filter. The amplified

signals are filtered by a band pass filter (a 3-stage LC BPF) to eliminate unwanted

signals before they goes to the first frequency mixer.

 TC-500 Circuit Description

- 10 -

2) The First Mixer

The signal from RF amplifier is mixed with the first local oscillator signal from PLL frequency

synthesizer in the first mixer (Q23) to generate a 21.4MHz first IF signal. The first IF signal is then

fed through two monolithic crystal filters (XF1) to remove spurious signals from adjacent channels. 

3) IF Amplifier

The first IF signal is amplified in Q22 and then enters the IF process chip IC1. The signal is mixed

with the second local oscillator signal in IC1 to create a 455KHz second IF signal. The second IF

signal is then fed to a 455KHz ceramics filter (CF1) to eliminate unwanted signals before it is

amplified and FM detected in IC1.

4) AF Amplifier

The demodulated AF signal obtained from IC1 is amplified in IC7 (1/4), and then filtered by low

pass filter Q19 and high pass filter Q20, and then de-emphasized by R130 and C156. The

resulting AF signal passes through a volume control circuit and then is amplified to a sufficient

level to drive the speaker by AF power amplifier (IC8).

5) Squelch

Part of the AF signal from IC1 enters IC1 again, and the noise component is amplified and

rectified by a filter and an amplifier to produce a DC voltage corresponding to the noise level. The

DC signal from IC1 goes to the analog port of the microprocessor (IC11). IC11 determines

whether to output sounds from the speaker by detecting whether the input voltage is higher or

lower than preset value.

To output sounds from the speaker, IC11 sends a high level signal to the MUTE and AFCO lines

and turns IC8 on through Q12.

6) Receive signaling

CTCSS/CDCSS

Audio frequencies over 300Hz of the output signal from IC1 is cut off by a low-pass filter. The

resulting signal enters the microprocessor IC11. IC11 determines whether the CTCSS/CDCSS

matches the preset value and controls the MUTE and AFCO and the speaker sound output

according to the squelch results.

3. PLL Frequency Synthesizer

PLL circuit generates the first local oscillator signal for reception and the RF signal for

transmission.

1) PLL Circuit

The step frequency of PLL circuit is 2.5KHz or 6.25 KHz. A12.8MHz reference

oscillator signal is divided at IC2 by a fixed counter to produce a 2.5 KHz or 6.25 KHz

reference frequency. Output signal from voltage control oscillator (VCO) passes

through buffer amplifier Q14 and is divided at IC2 by the dual-module programmable

counter. The divided signal is compared in the phase comparator IC2 with the 2.5 KHz

or 6.25 KHz reference signal. The output signal from phase comparator is filtered

through a low-pass filter and passed to the VCO to control the oscillator frequency.

(See figure 4)

Figure 4 PLL circuit

2) VCO

The operating frequency is generated by Q16 in transmit mode and by Q8 in receive

mode. The operation frequency generates a voltage through the phase comparator to

control the varactor diodes, so as to keep the oscillator frequency consistent with the

preset frequency in CPU (D2 and D3 in transmit mode and D7 and D8 in receive mode).

T/R pin is set high in receive mode causing Q6 to turn off Q16 and turn Q7 on. The T/R pin is set

low in transmit mode. The output from Q8 and Q16 is amplified by Q14 and sent to the buffer

amplifier.

4. Transmitter

1) Transmit audio

The audio signal from microphone is amplified through IC3, and then pre-emphasized , and

then filtered by another low-pass filter (      separate filter )   (Q25 and Q24) to eliminate the

frequencies over 3KHz. The resulting signal enters the VCO for direct FM modulation. (See

figure 5)

2) CTCSS/CDCSS Encoder

The necessary frequency for CTCSS/CDCSS encoder is generated by IC11 and

FM-modulated to the PLL reference signal. Since the reference OSC does not modulate the

loop characteristic frequency or higher, modulation is performed at the VCO side by splitter.

(See figure 5)

Figure 5 transmit CTCSS3) RF amplifier

The transmit signal obtained from VCO buffer amplifier Q14 is amplified by Q15 and Q17.

This amplified signal is passed to power amplifier Q32 and Q31, and is capable of producing

a 4.0W RF power.

4) Antenna Switch and LPF

The RF amplifier output signal is passed through a low-pass filter network and a

transmit/receive switch circuit before it is passed to the antenna terminal. The

transmit/receive switch circuit is comprised of D11 and D12. D11 and D12 is turned on in

transmit mode and off in receive mode.

5. Power

The 5V reference power supply for the control circuit is derived from an internal battery. The

reference power provides a 5V supply in transmit mode [T_V], a 5V supply in receive mode [R_V],

and a 5V supply shared in both modes based the control signal from the microprocessor.

6. Control System

The IC11 CPU operates at 7.3728MHz.
