                                                                   FCC ID:ALH30923140(TK—3102)




                   TK—3102/TK—3107 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The KENWOOD model TK—3102 and TK—3107 are UHF/FM hand—held transceivef designed

to operate in the frequency range of 406 to 430MHz. The unit consists of a receiver, a
transmitter, a phase—locked loop (PLL) frequency synthesizer, a digital control circuit, power
supply circuit and a signaling circuit.TK—3107 is 16 Number of Channels, and TK—3102
Number of Channels.

1. RECEIVER CIRCUIT

The receiver is double conversion superheterodyne, designed to operate in the frequency

range of 406 to 430MHz.

1.1 FRONT—END RF AMPLIFIER

An incoming signal from the antenna is applied to on RF amplifier (Q203) after passing
through a transmit/receive switch cireuit (D102 and D103 are off) and a 3—pole LC filter.
After the signal is amplified (Q203), the signal is filtered by a 3—pole LC filter to eliminate
unwanted signals before it is passed to the first mixer.

1.2 FIRST MIXER

The signal from the RF amplifier is heterodyned with the first local oscillator signal from the
PLL frequency synthesizer circuit at the first mixer (Q202) to become a 38.85MHz first
intermediate frequency (Ist IF) signal. The first IF signal is fed through two monolithic
crystal filters (MCFs:XF200) to further remove spurious signals.

1.3 IF AMPLIFIER

The first IF signal is amplified by Q201, and then enters IC200 (FM processing IC). The
signal is heterodyned again with a second local oscillator signal within 1C200 to become a
450kHz second IF signal. The second IF signal is fed through a 450kHz ceramic filter to
further eliminate unwanted signals before it is amplified and FM detected in 1C200.

1.4 AUDIO AMPLIFIER

The recovered audio signal obtained from 1C200 is amplified by 1C300 (1/4) low pass—filter by
1C300(2/4) and high—pass filtered by Q300 (3/4) and Q300 (4/4), and de—empfasized by R303
and €306. The audio signal is then passed through an audio frequency switch (Q8303). The
processed audio signal passes through an audio volume control and is amplified to a
sufficient level to drive a loud speaker by an audio power amplifier (IC302).

1.5 SQUELCH AND MUTE CIRCUIT

The output signal from the squelch circuit, which consists of IC200, is applied to the
microprocessor. The microprocessor controls the mute control line (MUTE) according to the
input signal and the microprocessor task condition.

2. TRANSMITTER

2.1 MICROPHONE CIRCUIT


                                                                    FUC 1D:ALH30923140(TK—3107)

                                                                    FCC ID:ALH30923140(TK—3102)




The signal from the microphone is high—pass filtered by IC500 (1/2), passed through
microphone mute circuit (Q503), limited and pre—emphasized by IC500 (2/2). The signal
component above the audio pass—band circuit is attenuated by splatter filter comprised of
@501 and Q502.

2.2 MODULATOR CIRCUIT

The output from the microphone amplifier passes through a variable resistor (VR501) for
maximum deviation adjustment and is applied to a varactor diode (D5) in the voltage
controlled oscillator (VCO) located in the frequencysynthesizer section.

2.3 DRIVER AND FINAL POWER AMPLIFIER CIRCUITS

The transmit signal obtained from the VCO buffer amplifier Q100, is amplified to
approximately 174Bm by Q101 and Q102. This amplified signal is passed to the power
amplifier Q105 and Q107,which consists of a 2—stage FET amplifier and is capable of
producing up to 4W of RF power.

2.4 TRANSMIT/RECEIVE SWITCHING CIRCUIT

The power module output signal is passed through a low—pass filter network and a
transmit/receive switching circuit before it is passed to the antenna terminal. The

transmit/receive switching circuit is comprised of D101, D102 and D103. D100 is turned on
(conductive) in transmit mode and turned off (isolated) in receive mode.

2.5 AUTOMATIC POWER CONTROL CIRCUIT AND TRANSMITTER
    OUTPUT LEVEL SWITCH

The automatic power control (APC) circuit stabilizes the transmitter output power at a pre—
determined level by sensing the collector current of the final amplifier Field effect transistor
(FET). The voltage comparator IC100 (2/2) compares the voltage obtained by the above drain
current with a reference voltage, set using the microprocessor and. An APC voltage
proportional to the difference between the sensed voltage and the reference voltage appears
at the output of 1C100 (1/2). This output voltage controls the gate of FET power amplifier,
which keeps the transmitter output pevx/er constant. The transmitter output power can be
varied by the microprocessor, which in turn changes the reference voltage and hence the
output power.

3. PLL FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZER

8.1 PLL

The frequency step of the PLL circuit is 5 or 6.25kHz. A 12.8MHz reference oscillator signal
is divided at IC1 by a fixed counter to produce the 5 or 6.25kHz reference frequency. The
VCO output signal is buffer amplified by Q2, then divided in IC1, by a dual—modules
programmable counter in this case. The divided signal is compared in phase with the 5 or
6.25kHz reference signal in the phase comparator also in IC1. The output signal from the
phase comparator is low—pass filtered and passed to the VCO to control the oscillator
frequency.

8.2 VOLTAGE CONTROLLED OSCILLATOR (VCO)


                                                                  FCC ID:ALH30923140(TK—3107)
                                                                  FCC ID:ALH30923140(TE—3102)


The operating frequency is generated by Q4 in transmit mode and Q3 in receive mode. The
oscillator frequency is controlled by applying the VCO control voltage, obtained from the
phase comparator, to the varactor diodes (D2 and D4 in transmit mode and D1 and D3 in
receive mode). The T/R pin is set high in receive mode causing Q5 and Q7 to turn off Q4, and
turn on Q3, and is set low for transmit mode. The outputs from Q3 and Q4 are amplified by
Q6 and outputted to the buffer amplifiers.

3.3 UNLOCK DETECTOR CIRCUIT

If a pulse signal appears at the LD pin of IC1, an unlock condition occurs, the DC voltage,
obtained from D7, R6 and C1, causes the voltage applied to the UL pin of the microprocessor
to go low. When the microprocessor detects this condition, the transmitter is disabled by
ignoring the push—to—talk switch input signal.

4. DIGITAL CONTROL CIRCUIT

4.1 KEY SWITCHES AND CHANNEL SELECTOR INPUT CIRCUIT

The key switches and channel selector information are entered directly into the
microprocessor (IC403).

4.2 RESET CIRCUIT

When the power is initially turned on, IC400 detects a 5V reference voltage rise, then output
a high level signal to reset the microprocessor (IC403).             ’

5. POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT

5.1 POWER SWITCHING CIRCUIT

A 5V reference voltage[5M] supply for the control circuit is derived from an internal battery
by IC404. This reference is used to provide a 5V supply in transmit mode [5T], and a 5V
supply in receive mode [5R)] and a 5V supply common in both modes [5C] based on the
control signal sent from the microprocessor.

5.2 BATTERY SAVER CIRCUIT

If no activity is detected (squelch closed) on the channel, the units enters into the battery
save mode controlled by the microprocessor. In this mode, SAVE line is set low, causing Q406
to disable [5C] and [5M].

6.ADDITIONAL CIRCUIT

6.1 QT, DQT ENCODE

The QT, DQT encoder tone is set by the data from the microprocessor. QT, DQT tone is
generated by the microprocessor (IC403). The output is applied to the VCO and TCXO (X1).

6.2 QT,DQT DECODE

A part of the recovered audio signal obtained at the amplifier 1C300 (1/4) are the QT and
DQT tones and are low pass filtered by 1C301 and passed to the microprocessor for decoding.
