FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
1 Muting Characteristic
and a muting drive output circuit which supplies the control current. The gain of the AF preamplifier decreases with increasing gain control current applied to pin 6. However, the gain does not decrease further when the control current reaches approximately 120 A or greater. The lower limit of the gain under this condition depends upon a resistor connected between pin 5 and GND, and the higher the resistance the lower the gain (the higher the attenuation). Thus the maximum muting attenuation will be set by connecting the resistor between pin 5 and GND.
1) Hole detector output which develops a voltage when C/N (carrier-to-noise ratio) lowers under weak signal input conditions. 2) A reversed output of the signal strength indicating output (output at pin 15) 3) A bandwidth limited muting drive output which develops a voltage when the AFC output becomes higher than VBE during tuning-off operation.
All these outputs are led to an OR circuit and the processed output is developed at pin 14.
3 The general method to adjust the muting circuit of the UTC1018 is: to set the signal input level required to actuate the muting circuit with the R16-G, to adjust the slope of the curve for the muting attenuation vs. antenna signal input with the R15-G, and to adjust the maximum muting attenuation (determined by setting the noise level at no signal) with the R5-G. The slope of the curve for the muting attenuation vs. antenna signal input level can also be adjusted by the resistor connected between pins 14 and 6 in addition to R15-G, however, selecting a resistor too high does not allow the muting control current flowing into pin 6 to reach 120 A even though the maximum muting drive output (V14) is applied, namely the muting attenuation does not reach its maximum value. Accordingly a recommended value of the resistor between pins 14 and 6 is about 22 k.
The muting operation is performed by an AF preamplifier, the gain of which varies continuously with control current,
