Page 10 - CIRCUIT ANALYSIS; SOFTWARE
AE/LZB 119 1902 R1A 10 CIRCUIT ANALYSIS The portable radio is unique in the generation of the transmit carrier. The transmit section has an offsetfrequency loop operating at 115.2 MHz. This means thesynthesizer is operating at a frequency that is notharmonically related to the output frequency. The ...
