4.4.2 Voltage 
Controlled Oscillator (VCO) 
The VCO was implemented using a Motorola MRF917 BJT in a Colpitts oscillator configuration. The 
design provides a tuning frequency range of 420 – 475 MHz. For interference and EMI reasons, the 
VCO and VCO buffer circuits are enclosed in a shield that clips to the PCB.  
The VCO varactor diode input is driven by the output of the PLL loop filter, setting the instantaneous 
transmitter frequency. The varactor is capacitive coupled into the VCO’s L-C tank circuit. 
 
4.4.3 VCO 
Buffer 
Amplifier 
The VCO buffer amplifier was implemented using an NEC/CEL NE85639 bipolar RF transistor. The 
VCO buffer amp provides isolation and gain for the VCO output. The buffer amp provides 
approximately 13-15 dB of gain at its output.  
The VCO buffer amplifier uses an RF-bypassed emitter-degeneration bias arrangement for good 
temperature stability. The buffer’s input impedance is high so that loading effects on the VCO are 
minimized.  
 
4.4.4  Reference Oscillator (VCTCXO) 
The reference oscillator is a 10MHz voltage-controlled temperature compensated crystal oscillator 
(VCTXCO). It is manufactured by TEMEX, part number TTF 95V AAO 10.000. The voltage-
controlled input of the reference oscillator has two functions, 1) frequency adjust via the dc offset on 
the voltage-controlled pin and 2) transmit modulation via an ac signal superimposed on the dc offset. 
The VCTCXO voltage-control port is driven by the base band modulation waveform at an associated 
dc-offset, thus driving both the PPD’s carrier frequency and deviation. Carrier frequency and average 
deviation are set by measuring the PPD in Test Mode with a modulation analyzer, then adjusting the 
base band modulation waveform’s mid, low, and high voltages. These values are saved in the 
controller’s EEPROM.  
 
The reference oscillator is a 5 volt nominal part, rather than 3.3 volts, and gets its supply voltage from 
the same +5V regulator as the charge pump of the synthesizer. This was done to maximize the 
voltage-tuning range of the VCTCXO function to encompass a) modulation, b) carrier frequency trim, 
c) unit-unit variations, and d) crystal aging.
