Project #PC65

Siren PC

OBJECTIVE:  To view the output of a fading siren circuit.

Build the circuit and try the 

settings

shown. Flip on the slide switch

and press the press switch for a few seconds and release. View

the waveform as a siren starts up and then slowly fades away.

Settings

Note:

Although the amplitude of the pulses appears to be varying

across the screen (the wider time scale shown below shows this

better), this is an illusion caused by the way Winscope measures

the signal. The amplitude of the pulses is not really varying.

Winscope  makes  measurements  using  a  44kHz  sampling  rate,

which  is  fast  enough  to  measure  the  frequency  of  this  signal

(varying from 1-5kHz). However these pulses have much of their

energy  spread  among  higher  frequencies  that  approach  the

sampling rate (see the sample spectrum plots at right), where the

amplitude measurement becomes increasingly inaccurate.
