The TS-990S comes equipped with dual receivers for simultaneous dual reception on different bands, it also  
features narrow-band roofing filters on the main receiver in a full down-conversion configuration. The new  
TS-990S achieves the highest basic reception performance of any radio in the TS series, through the careful  
selection of circuits, components and accelerating analysis using triple DSP configuration. The Trio tone has  
evolved into Kenwood tone. Also, thanks to the dual TFT display and superior panel layout, it achieves both  
comfortable visibility and operability. Our top-of-the-line transceiver is for all radio operators who love HF.

The horizontal axis shows separation of the target signal by interfering signal frequencies (two waves). At a frequency of 10 kHz,  
interference 1 refers to reception frequency + 10 kHz, and interference 2 refers to reception frequency + 20 kHz.  
The newly developed mixer contributes to achieving +40 dBm IP3  
In place of the Double Balanced Mixer, which uses the J-FET, we have  
installed the newly developed Double Balanced Grounded Switch Type  
in the 1st mixer circuit, which is the heart of the main receiver.  
The transceiver is also equipped with a pre selector function (works  
on HF amateur band) that varies its tuning frequency in tandem with  
the receiver frequency. It effectively dampens interference from strong  
signals that cannot be minimized through bandpass filters on dedicated  
amateur bands. Furthermore, we have achieved a +40dBm class of  
third-order intercept point for the signal path of the 1st mixer, based on  
select circuits and components, employing large core toroidal coils for  
protecting against distortion from large input signals, as well as using  
relays for the signal switching.

The newly developed narrow-band High-IP roofing filter shows its true  
value by cutting adjacent unwanted signals  
You can realize high C/N levels by dividing high frequencies using  
the newly developed VCO frequency division 1st local oscillator  
The transceiver uses a down-conversion method  
for all amateur band reception, and features five  
types of High-IP roofing filter. Narrow bandpass  
widths selectable are 500 Hz and 270 Hz for CW  
operation, 2.7kHz for SSB and 6kHz and 15kHz,  
which are suitable for AM/FM. These filters are  
automatically selected in tandem with DSP-based  
final bandpass settings. Of course, manual switch-  
ing is possible as well.

VCO frequency division format is used for the 1st lo-  
cal oscillator of the main receiver. The device achieves  
favourable C/N characteristics that rival the DDS direct  
format, and relatively spurious-free local oscillation  
signals that are characteristic of the PLL format, by  
oscillating and dividing the VCO at higher frequencies  
than the intended frequency. It is possible to convert it  
to 1st IF in a pure state without leaking the target signal  
as noise by reducing static noise from the local oscilla-  
tor and increasing the C/N ratio.

Sub-receiver  
HF/50MHz TRANSCEIVER TS-990S  
Innovation spurred by digital technology has  
revolutionized the Kenwood tone.  
Super sub, which supports  
simultaneous dual reception.  
Even after using narrow bandwidth filters for long periods of time,  
it is still easy to hear and less tiring to listen to.  
Two attractive features of simultaneous  
dual reception for different bands are that  
you can easily change the condx on other  
bands and easily handle split-operation.  
From this single device a whole new array  
of strategies becomes possible.  
In addition to introducing AGC control using dedicated DSP,  
we have further refined the Kenwood tone and reception sound quality transmitted  
by radio operators worldwide by innovating the analogue AGC unit  
and installing numerous interference and noise elimination functions.  
Such innovations have given new life to Kenwood’s legendary tone.  
Sub Receiver  
The sub-receiver, which incorporates the TS-590S receiver  
more or less flat dynamic range even if interference  
Down-conversion occurs on the  
160m/80m/40m/20m/15m bands*  
impinges on your reception frequency, thanks to  
superior close-in dynamic range properties. You can  
clearly catch signals under conditions made prob-  
lematic by strong close-in interference signals.  
The sub-receiver features performance that has  
exceeded its class since going on sale, thus further  
refining this popular receiver on the TS-590S. Be-  
cause this is particularly the case on the front end,  
where it employs circuit configuration that makes  
down-conversion possible on the leading five ama-  
teur bands, it can be used in actual operation despite  
being just a sub-receiver.  
* The IF bandwidth for 160m/80m/40m/20m/15m bands is  
(SSB/CW/FSK/PSK) for frequency levels 2.7 kHz or below.

tensive interference depending on use and condition.  
You can operate it as a HI CUT/LOW CUT function  
in SSB/AM/FM mode, and WIDTH/SHIFT function  
in CW/FSK/SSB-DATA transmission mode.  
The filter is capable of varying the stopband band-  
width and the amount of loss. When signals that  
interfere with the target signal multiply, this is a  
block of the TS-990S. By distributing the signal pro-  
cessing of the main IF, band scope, and sub-IF, we  
have realized ample digital signal processing. (FM

Cooling system to send a sufficient volume of air to each unit  
High reliability design promises stable operation at 200W  
Cooling is very important to obtain a stable output  
of 200 W. Heat dissipation efficiency is increased  
in the TS-990S through a large fin-type aluminium  
heat sink. An independent variable-speed fan is  
provided for the switching power supply, final  
unit, and antenna tuner, cooling each unit with a  
sufficient air supply. The switching power supply  
and the final unit have twin cooling fans. Noise is  
reduced by controlling the fan speed according to  
the temperature.  
The device uses POWER MOSFET VRF150MP,  
which runs at 50V, with push-pull. You can obtain a  
high, stable output of 200 W on all bands. You can  
achieve superior IMD properties by pursuing bias  
and matching conditions in order to fully exploit the  
FET attributes. Further, you can realize Kenwood’s  
distinctive tone by amplifying the clean modulated  
signal produced by DSP with an amplifier that ex-  
hibits excellent linearity.
