Module: Transmit Mixer and Oscillator
Function:
converts VFO frequency to output RF frequency; includes crystal-controlled conversion oscillator
Input/Output:
- POWER: 9-15 VDC, 5.5 x 2.5mm power jack
- VFO IN: Zin = 200 ohms, expect 250 mV p-p RCA Jack
- RF OUT: Zo = 200 ohms, RCA Jack
- KEY IN: Zin >= 10K, RCA Jack (0V = key-down)
Operator Controls:
- No operator controls anticipated
Key Specs or Limitations:
- Gain (VFO to Output Voltage Gain): 10 - 15 db (fixed)
- XTAL controlled conversion Oscillator must be trimmable +/-1 KHz min
- Use crystals specified for 18-20 pf load capacitance
- Keying applies to either the VFO or XTAL oscillator, disabling that oscillator during receive periods
- Key-down enables output
- Backwave < 2 mV p-p
- Minimum 1 tuned tank in output circuit
