This
frequency
range
is
doubled
by
CRI
and CR2
and
amp-
lified
by
tuned
amplifier
Q3, to
achieve
a
signal
in
the
range
of
from
28 MHz to
56 MHz.
This
signal
is
matched
by
emitter
follower
Q4 to
the
10\\
'
imped
ance
of
ste
p-recovery
diode
CR4.
The

ery

stores
that
charge.
Durin
g
the
negative
half
it
is
quickly
driven
towards
cutoff
and
snaps
back
to
form
an
extr
emely
n
arrow
pulse
that
is
rich
in
harmoni
cs
.
The
fundament
al
frequency
output
is
28 MHz to 56 MHz and
the
h
armonic's
are
usable
to 1150 MHz.
These
pulses
and
the
resulting
harmonics
form
the
LO
signal.
See
Table
4-1.
The

The
Channel
Frequency
Chart
(T
able
4-1)
provides
a
means
to
determine
the
crystal
frequency
when
the
channel
fre-
quency
is
known.
Locate
the
applicable
ch
annel
frequency
range
in
the
CHANNEL
FREQUENCY
RANGE
column.
Add
or
subtract
10 MHz
as
indicated
in
the
ADD
OR
SUBTRACT
10 MHz
column
to
deter-
mine
the
first
LO
frequency
re-
quired.
Th e
resultant
frequenc
y
should
be
within
the
rang
e
in
the
LO
FREQUENCY
RANG E
column.
Divide
the
LO
frequency
by
the
number
given
in
the
DIVIDE BY
column.
The
resultant
fre-
quency
is
the
crystal
frequency
required
and
should
be
within
the
range
in
the
CRYSTAL
FREQUENCY
RANGE
column.
