Track and Hold, Circuit Description
Track and Hold provides circuitry to insure that the true peak of the RF signal and a
true representation of noise are displayed on the CRT. This is accomplished by positive and
negative peak detection.
Positive Peak Detector
The Positive Peak Detector acquires the most positive voltage to appear at its input and
holds that voltage on holding capacitor C26 until the circuit is reset by a reset pulse from the
decoding and timing circuits. FET Q6 is periodically turned on by the reset pulse, discharging
C26 through R12 and to ground. Figure 1 shows a simplified schematic of the Positive
Peak Detector.

The circuit consists of amplifier Q3, Q2,

holding capacitor C26, and buffer
Q4, Q5. When

CR1 is off and C26 will hold the
voltage it has acquired. CR3 limits the reverse voltage across CR1 to minimize leakage
current. CR1 turns on when

bias current
is equal to the algebraic sum of the current from
the base current to
and the bias
current through R13. This sum of currents insures a very small gate-to-source voltage and
prevents gate-to-source forward biasing.
Q2, and Q3 are all dual transistors. Q3 and Q2 form the input stage, with Q3 connected
as emitter followers and Q2 forming a differential pair. Gain for the differential stage is set by
collector resistor R7. Additional gain is provided by
