6.1.15  FIRST AND SECOND INJECTION AM-
PLIFIERS
U303 provides the +12V source for these ampli-
fiers.  First injection amplifier Q133 is biased by 
CR131, R143, R144, R145 and R146.  C148, C151, 
C149 and C150 provide RF bypass from the DC line.  
L134 on the collector is an RF choke.  Q133 is 
matched to the 50 ohm signal pad R147, R148 and 
R149 by lowpass filter C152/L135/C153, C154.  
C155, L136, L156, L137, C157 and a section of 
microstrip match Q134 to the 50 ohm signal pad.
Second injection amplifier/buffer Q134 is simi-
lar in design to Q133.  The output of Q134 is matched 
to 50 ohms by L134/C162/C163 and C164 provides 
DC blocking.  L140/L141 are tuned to the receive fre-
quency plus 52.95 MHz and passed to Mixer U101.  
This injection frequency is also coupled through C165 
to the injection test voltage circuit U102A.  CR133, 
R158, R159 provide DC input to U102A, 
pin 3.  The output of U102A, pin 1 is connected to 
J201, pin 13 for a receive injection test point and to 
the RF Interface Board on J103, pin 13.
6.2 EXCITER
6.2.1  VCO (A007)
The Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO) is 
formed by Q101, associated circuitry and High-Q 
indicator L102.  The VCO oscillates in a frequency 
range from 132-178 MHz.  Biasing of Q101 is pro-
vided by R102, R103 and R104.  An AC voltage 
divider formed by C107 and C108 initiates and main-
tains oscillation.  C106 couples Q101 to the High-Q 
inductor. RF choke L103 completes the DC bias path 
to ground.
The VCO frequency is controlled in part by DC 
voltage across varactor diode D101.  As voltage 
across a reverse-biased varactor diode increases, its 
capacitance decreases.  Therefore, VCO frequency 
increases as the control voltage increases.  The control 
line is RF isolated from tank circuit by choke L101.  
The amount of frequency change produced by D101 is 
controlled by series capacitor C102.
The frequency is modulated in a similar manner.  
The transmit audio/data signal is applied across varac-
tor diode D102 to vary the VCO frequency at an audio 
rate.  C104/C105 in series with D102 determine the 
amount of modulation produced by the audio signal.
6.2.2  VCO BUFFER
Q102/Q103 form a cascade-connected buffer cir-
cuitry. DC bias is produced by R107, R108, R109 and 
R1212. A signal oscillated at Q101 is DC cut and 
adjusted by C107 and fed into the buffer. An output 
from RF choke L104 passes through an adjustment 
circuit consisting of C114/C119.
6.2.3  VCO/TCXO FREQUENCY MODULATION
Both the VCO and TCXO are modulated in order 
to achieve the required frequency response.  If only 
the VCO was modulated, the phase detector in U403 
would sense the frequency change and increase or 
decrease the VCO control voltage to counteract the 
change (at the lower audio frequencies inside the 
closed loop bandwidth of the synthesizer).  If only the 
TCXO frequency was modulated, the VCO would not 
track the higher audio frequencies (those beyond the 
closed loop bandwidth of the synthesizer).  However, 
by modulating both the VCO and TCXO a flat audio 
response is achieved.  Potentiometers R425 and R446 
balance the modulating signals.
There are two 3.5V sources on the Exciter board; 
one is a reference for the modulation amplifier to the 
VCO, the other is for the modulation amplifier to the 
TCXO.
The reference voltage on U402B, pin 5 is also on 
buffer U407B, pin 5 to J401, pin 9 and RFIB connec-
tor J102, pin 9.  The voltage leaves the RFIB on J101, 
pin 14 to J2, pin 27 on the backplane, to the bottom 
connectors via pin 7 and finally to the MAC on P100, 
pin 7.
