Sony ICB-U655 Circuit Description

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION of ICB-U655

ICB-U655 is a FRS(Family Radio Service) Tranceiver with 14 radio channels.

Part RX

Circuit system of ICB-U655(Part RX) is double conversion superheterodyne (lower

heterodyne). An incoming RF signal received through the Antenna goes through the

antenna switch (D1, D2, and D3) and is amplified at the RF Amplifier (Q1). The signal

is converted to a first Intermediate Frequency (IF:21.7MHz) at a first mixer (IC1). The

first Local Oscillator is a Phase Locked Loop (PLL) synthesized oscillator being varactor

tuned, which is variable between 440.8625MHz to 446.0125MHz in RX mode. The first

mixer is a Double Balanced Mixer (DBM). The first IF signal is amplified at a IF

amplifier (Q2) and is converted to the second IF of 450kHz at a second Mixer in the IF

IC (IC2). The second IF signal is demodulated at a FM demodulator in the IF IC (IC2).

The demodulated signal input to the Tone generator/detector IC (IC109) by which the

tone squelch circuit, de-emphasis, and HPF combine, and the tone squelch signal and

AF (Audio Frequency) signal are separated in IC109. The AF signal is amplified at an

AF Amplifier (IC102) and a Speaker connected to the AF Amplifier. Finally, the audible

signal is heard through a internal speaker.
