(Phase Locked Loop) circuit is to generate multiple number programmable frequencies from Signal reference frequency with quartz crystal accuracy. Abasic PLL circuitry consists of reference oscillator, VcO phase comparator and DC filter (low pass filter). with the above circuit the VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) Frequency is effectively locked to the reference oscillator and its accuracy is as good as the reference oscillator. Since the CB radio's adjacent channel spacing is 10kiz (or multiple of 2.5kHZ), our purpose should be to produce of programmable frequencies that are spaced apart by 10kHz. — a “ contin 98 lat ——— ee A conning 2 eo 1 I ee 1) Therefore the basic PLL circuitry is expanded as follow: Note that the reference frequency of 2.SkHz is obteined by dividing the 10.24mhz by 4096 times. (2.5kHz reference is used instead of 10kHz for division convenience}. See Table 1 for transmit/receive mode VCO frequencies. The most importent part of VCO circuitry is a voltage controlled variable capacitor called vari-cap or varactor diode whose capacitance depends on DC voltage applied to its cathode. The varactor diode is responsible for setting vco frequency. and once set it regulates the vCO f: cy against the reference. The VCO frequencies are chosen in 13 to lémiz range as shown on Table 2. To obtain transmit signal the vco is doubled. exemple for channel 1: 32.a625Kz=26.965maz~ Foc receiver mode the ¥vcO is oscillator.
