stage
(C)
is reduced,
and
the
reactance
of the
in-
ductance
stage
(L)
increased,
resulting
in
AM
detection
by D2
which
leaves
the
positive
portion
of tlie
IF
signal.
If
the input frequency
decreases,
L
stage reactance
is
decreased
and
C stage
reactance
increased,
resulting
in AiVl
detection
by
D1
which
leaves
the negative
portion
of the IF
signal. The
L
stage
and C
stage
reactances
increase
as the
deglee
of detuning
in
the respective
directions
is in-
creased,
resulting
in
a
subsequent
increase
in
the
detector
output. By
thus
attaining
S-curve
charac-
teristics, FM
detection
becomes
possible.
Since
the
IF
signal
is
an
FIvI
signal
frequency
deviation
due
to modulation
will
be symmetrical
about
a
central
axis, And
if
the
central frequency
is
equal to
the
resonance
frequency,
the detector
output
DC
level
will
be zero. If,
however,
there
is
any
displacement
in
the central
frequency,
frequency
deviation
in
respect
to the
detector
will
become
asymmetrical,
resulting
in
the
generation
of a DC
voltage.
This
DC voltage
is
passed
through LPF1
(IF
filter)
and
LPF2
(AC
filter)
to form
a correction
voltage
which
is
applied
to the variable
capacitance
diode
in
tlre iocal
oscillator,
thereby
correcting
the
oscillator frequency
to
obtain
a constant
tF
(i.e.
a
constant
tuned
frequency).
Since
the
central frequency
of the
crystal
detec-
tor is
regulated
by
the
crystal
resonator,
tuned
fre-
quencies
of
extremely
high
stability
are
obtained.

Limiting
the
Locking
Range
If
lhe
quartz-lock
range
is
too
wide,
it
will
overiap
with
strong
adjacent
broadcasting
frequen-
cies
and
result
in
considerable
tuning
difficulties.
A
DC
amplifier
is
therelore
used
as
a limiter
(limiter
action
by
NFB
circuit
zener
diodes)
which
restricts
the voltage
applied
to
the variable
capaci-
tance
diode,
thereby limiting
the
quartz-lock
range.

The

consists
of
a 2-ganged

plus
an

(HA119Z)
which
con-
tains
a l-stage

and AGC
circuit.
The
AM

terminal
on
the rear

is
for
connecting
to an
AM

The

by

digit employs
up

segments

to
display
all
numerals
from

(with

which

The
signal
source
during
both AM
and
FM
recep-
tion
is
the local
oscillator.
The
signal
is
passed
via
a buffer
amplifier (FET)
to
the
prescalar
IC
(M54451P)
where
it
is
subjected
to frequency
divi-
sion
(1/8
for
AM
and
L/80
for FM)
before
being
rFRlied
to
the
frequency
counter

(pDb0Og).
This
IC
is
responsible
for
the
