PRC- Lower sideband conversion【DOC精选】.doc

PRC-74 Lower Sideband Conversion This conversion will add lower sideband reception and transmission capability to the RT-794/PRC-74 transceiver. An optional modification to the clarify/calibrate function is also included to increase the vernier tuning range to facilitate operation. The conversion works by shifting the IF injection from the frequency generator module from 1750 kHz on USB to 1747 kHz for LSB. When used with the existing 1750 kHz IF filter, this will allow the lower side band to be received and transmitted on the PRC-74. In order to provide correct dial readout in the LSB mode, this conversion also includes a modification to the frequency synthesizer. This modification allows the synthesizer frequency to be “pulled” up 3 kHz in the LSB mode to compensate for the injection frequency shift to permit LSB reception and transmission.
