TK-760G/762G
Frequency Configuration
The receiver utilizes double conversion. The first IF is
49.95MHz and the second IF is 450kHz. The first local oscil-
lator signal is supplied from the PLL circuit.
The PLL circuit in the transmitter generates the neces-
sary frequencies. Figure 1 shows the frequencies.

Receiver System
The receiver is double conversion superheterodyne. The
frequency configuration is shown in Figure 1.
Front-end RF Amplifier
An incoming signal from the antenna is applied to an RF
amplifier (Q27) after passing through a transmit/receive
switch circuit (D33 and D34 are off) and a band pass filter
(L18). After the signal is amplified (Q27), the signal is fil-
tered through a band pass filter (L11, L13 and L15) to elimi-
nate unwanted signals before it is passed to the first mixer.
Band pass filters (L18, L11, L13 and L15) have varactor di-
odes (D30, D31, D18, D23 and D28).
The voltage of these diodes are controlled by to track the
CPU (IC502) center frequency of the band pass filter. (See
Fig. 2)
First Mixer
The signal from the RF amplifier is heterodyned with the
first local oscillator signal from the PLL frequency synthe-
sizer circuit at the first mixer (Q15) to create a 49.95MHz
first intermediate frequency (1st IF) signal. The first IF signal
is then fed through two monolithic crystal filters (MCFs :
XF1) to further remove spurious signals.
IF Amplifier
The first IF signal is amplified by Q13, and the enters IC5
(FM processing IC). The signal is heterodyned again with a
second local oscillator signal within IC5 to create a 450kHz
second IF signal. The second IF signal is then fed through a
450kHz ceramic filter (Narrow : CF1, Wide : CF2) to further
eliminate unwanted signals before it si amplified and FM
detected in IC5.
