Basic Theory of Operation synthesizer/prescaler IC, which controls the VCO buffer for VHF. The VCO buffer, actually generates the first LO and transmit-injection signals and buffers them to the required power level. The synthesizer/prescaler circuit module incorporates frequency-division and comparison circuitry to keep the VCO signals stable. The synthesizer/prescaler IC is controlled by the microcontrol unit through a serial bus.
Basic Theory of Operation VOCON Basic The vocoder and controller (VOCON) circuitry contains the radio’s microcontrol unit with its memory and support circuits, the DSP, its memory devices, and the Theory of DSP-support IC, voltage regulators, audio, and power control circuits. Connected Operation to the VOCON circuitry are the display board, RF circuitry, keypad board, and controls/universal flex.
