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.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/tc-500-s-m 11/27
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.
