6-10 VHF Theory of Operation: Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO)
6.6 Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO)
(Refer to the VHF Voltage-Controlled Oscillator Schematic Diagram on page 9-343.)
Figure 6-6. VCO Block Diagram
The VCOBIC (U3801) 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 will be 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 3.5 V and 9.5 V when the PLL is locked on frequency.
