    							VHF (136-174MHz) Transmitter Power Amplifier (PA) 45 W 2-11
    5.6 Antenna Switch
    The antenna switch consists of two PIN diodes, D3471 and D3472. In the receive mode, both diodes 
    are off. Signals applied at the antenna jack J3401 are routed, via the harmonic filter, through 
    network L3472, C3474 and C3475, to the receiver input. In the transmit mode, K9V1 turns on Q3471 
    which enables current sink Q3472, set to 96 mA by R3473 and VR3471. This completes a DC path 
    from PASUPVLTG, through L3473, D3471, L3477, L3472, D3472, L3471, R3474 and the current 
    sink, to ground. Both diodes are forward biased into conduction. The transmitter RF from the 
    directional coupler is routed via D3471 to the harmonic filter and antenna jack. D3472 also 
    conducts, shunting RF power and preventing it from reaching the receiver port (RXIN). L3472 is 
    selected to appear as a broadband lambda/4 wave transmission line, making the short circuit 
    presented by D3472 appear as an open circuit at the junction of D3472 and the receiver path.
    5.7 Harmonic Filter
    Components L3491-L3494 and C3489-C3498 form a nine-pole Chebychev low-pass filter to 
    attenuate harmonic energy of the transmitter to specifications level. R3490 is used to drain 
    electrostatic charge that might otherwise build up on the antenna. The harmonic filter also prevents 
    high level RF signals above the receiver passband from reaching the receiver circuits, improving 
    spurious response rejection.
    5.8 Power Control
    The transmitter uses the Power Control IC (PCIC, U3501) to control the power output of the radio. A 
    portion of the forward and reflected RF power from the transmitter is sampled by the directional 
    coupler, rectified and summed, to provide a DC voltage to the RFIN port of the PCIC (pin 1) which is 
    proportional to the sampled RF power. 
    The ASFIC contains a digital to analog converter (DAC) which provides a reference voltage of the 
    control loop to the PCIC via R3517. The reference voltage level is programmable through the SPI line 
    of the PCIC. This reference voltage is proportional to the desired power setting of the transmitter, and 
    is factory programmed at several points across the frequency range of the transmitter to offset 
    frequency response variations of the transmitter’s power detector circuitry.
    The PCIC provides a DC output voltage at pin 4 (INT) which is amplified and shifted in DC level by 
    stages Q3501 and Q3502. The 0 to 4 volt DC range at pin 4 of U3501 is translated to a 0 to 8.5 volt 
    DC range at the output of Q3501, and applied as VCONT to the power-adjust input pin of the first 
    transmitter stage U3401. This adjusts the transmitter power output to the intended value. Variations 
    in forward or reflected transmitter power cause the DC voltage at pin 1 to change, and the PCIC 
    adjusts the control voltage above or below its nominal value to raise or lower output power.
    Capacitors C3502-4, in conjunction with resistors and integrators within the PCIC, control the 
    transmitter power-rise (key-up) and power-decay (de-key) characteristic to minimize splatter into 
    adjacent channels.
    U3502 is a temperature-sensing device, which monitors the circuit board temperature in the vicinity 
    of the transmitter driver and final devices, and provides a dc voltage to the PCIC (TEMP, pin 29) 
    proportional to temperature. If the DC voltage produced exceeds the set threshold in the PCIC, the 
    transmitter output power will be reduced so as to reduce the transmitter temperature.
