From
the balanced mixer stage, the IF signa] is taken to the
IF amplifier

comprisj.ng
8 tunable circuits
with a bandwidth of 130 kHz (+65

response down 3 dB, on
RF
amplifier
PCB
1.726.73dt.
The IF signal is amplified
and limj,ted by five integrated
differential
anplifiers
ICI through IC4 and IC2 on L.'126.750.
The signal is rectified
after the fj-rst
stage, amplified
in
Q3
and used as the
AGC
signal for controlling
the first
RF
amplifier
stage.
Through a rectifj.er
and a
summing
amplifier,
the first
four IF
amplifiers
supply the information
for the sig4a1 strength meter
and for controll-ing
the station
search.
The
signal is decoupled after the fourth IF stage and taken to
the frequency discriminator.
The latter
supplies the contro.L
signal for the center tuning instrument and the station
search.

(TO STEBEO DECODER PC8)
From
the last IF stage the signal rs taken through a driver
stage to the digital
FM
demodulator which is alternately
controll-ed directly
and through a 68 ns delay line.
A filter
network develops the
mean
from the pulse sequence of the
demodul-ator
circuit
in the form of a demodulated
MPX
signal.
After a phase-linear
100
kHz low-pass, the
MPX
signal is taken
through a di-fferential
amplifj.er to four 95 kHz Cauer
1ow-passes
with terrninal,s at 99, l0l-, 114, and
L]
6 kKz (L3 to L6). The
MPX
signal alternateLy
reaches the stereo decoder directly
and
indirectly
through the muting ci-rcuit
(with terminatrng
ampli-f
iers ).
