7. Functional description
7.1 FM mixer 1
The FM quadrature mixer 1 converts FM RF (65 MHz to 108 MHz) to an IF frequency of
10.7 MHz. The FM mixer provides image rejection and a large dynamic range. Low and
high injection Local Oscillator (LO) can be selected via the I
2
C-bus.
7.2 FM RF AGC
AGC detection at the FM front-end mixer input with programmable threshold. When the
threshold is exceeded, the PIN diode drive circuit sources a current to an external PIN
diode circuit, keeping the RF signal level constant. Keyed AGC function is selectable via
the I
2
C-bus and uses the in-band level information derived from the limiter. The AGC PIN
diode drive circuit can optionally deliver a fixed current; this local mode can be used for
search tuning on absolute RF levels. In AM mode, the FM AGC PIN diode drive circuit can
be set to source a fixed current into the external FM PIN diode circuitry.
7.3 FM mixer 2
The FM quadrature mixer 2 converts 10.7 MHz IF1 to 450 kHz IF2 and includes image
rejection with the integrated channel filter. Two gain settings can be selected to
compensate for high ceramic filter insertion loss.
7.4 FM IF2 channel filter
The order and dynamic range of the FM IF2 channel filter is designed for operation with
only one external ceramic filter. The filter characteristic is optimized to combine high
selectivity with low distortion. The bandwidth of the filter can be set to a range of fixed
settings or automatically via the bandwidth control algorithm. When the automatic mode is
selected the bandwidth depends on the signal conditions.
