is
turned
to
the
OUT
position
which
operates
a
SPDT
switch
connecting
the
sweep amplifier
directly
to
the
plate
of
the
sweep
generator.
Sweep
Amplifier
The
sweep
voltage
at
the
plate
of
V9
is
only
about
20
V
amplitude.
To
sweep
the
spot
across
the screen,
about
350
V is
necessary.
The sweep
amplifier
provides
the
necessary
amplification
and
in
addition
converts
the
single
sided
voltage
from
the sweep
generator into
a
balanced
voltage suitable
for
deflecting
the
beam.
This
balanced
voltage
is
necessary
to
maintain
the
aver
age
potential
of the
deflection
plates
constant
over
the
entire
sweep,
and
thus
prevent
defocussing.
The
am
plifier
which
does
this
uses a
cathode
coupled
circuit
consisting
of
the
triode
connected
6AU6
tubes
V13
and
V14.
The
action
of
this
circuit
is
the
same
as
described
for
the
sweep
magnifier
except
that
load
resistors
are
present
in
both
plates.
The
HOR.
POSITION
control
varies
the
bias
on
V14
and
thus determines
the
position
from
which
the
sweep
starts.
To
insure
that
the
sweep
will
always
start
at the
same
point
on
the
screen
each
time
(at
a
given
setting
of
the
HOR.
POSITION
control),
the
6AL5
restorer
diode
V12
is
connected
between
the
grid
of
V
13
and
ground.
This
diode
removes
any
charge
which
C20
may
have
gained
during
the
sweep.
High frequency
compensation
provides
sufficient
band
width
to
amplify the
1
microsecond sweep
with
good
linearity.
This
is
accomplished
by
the
bypassing
effect
of
C22,
which
at
high
frequencies
reduces
the
degeneration
in
troduced
in
the cathode
circuit
by
R65
and
R66. Addi
tional
compensation
is
provided
by
the
inductance
of
R69
and
R63.
When
the
SWEEP
RANGE
switch
is
on
the
EXT.
posi
tion,
the
input to the
sweep
amplifier
is
shifted
from
the
sweep
generator
to
the
arm
of
the EXT.
SWEEP
ATTEN.
potentiometer.
To obtain
good
focus
on
a
cathode
ray
tube,
it
is
nec
essary
that
the
final
anode
and
both
pairs
of
deflection
plates
have
approximately
the
same
average
potential.
Since
it
is
necessary
to
have
the
vertical
plates
at
ground
potential
so
that
a
direct
connection
can
be
made,
the
average
potential
of
the
horizontal
plates
must
also
be
near
ground.
The
mean
potential
of
the
sweep
amplifier
plates is
about
+
250
V.
This
is
moved down
to
ground
by
means
of the
group
of
neon
glow
lamps.
A
steady current of
about
200
microamperes
keeps
them
ionized
so
that
any
changes
in
the
plate
potentials
of
the
sweep
amplifiers
appear
on
the
deflection
plates
unchanged
in
amplitudes,
but
moved down
250
V.
The
biasing
current
is
obtained from
the
—
1500
V
cathode
ray
power
supply
via
the
voltage
dropping
resistors
R153
and
R154.
Since
the
impedance of
the
neon
glow
lamps
is
rather high
at
frequencies involved
in
the
fast
est
sweeps,
C24
and
C25
are
shunted
across
them
to
transmit
these
frequencies.
VERTICAL
DEFLECTION SYSTEM
The
vertical
deflection
system
provides
the
means
of
attenuating
or amplifying
input
signal amplitudes
so
that
they
may present
a
convenient
image
on
the
cath
ode
ray
tube.
Signals
may
be
attenuated
as
much
as
8
times
or
amplified as
much
as 100
times
without
ap
preciable
change
in
shape.
Probe
A frequency
compensated
signal input
probe
is
sup
plied
to
provide
reduced
loading
on
the
circuit
under
observation.
It
consists
of
a
9
megohm
series
resistor
paralleled
with a compensating capacitor,
and
provides
an
input
impedance
of
10
megohms
shunted by 14
mmfd.

ALTHOUGH

Input
Attenuator
All
signals
and calibrating voltages pass
through
a
four
position,
RC
compensated
attenuator
having
at
tenuation
ratios
of
1,
2,
4 and
8.
If
a
conventional
resis
tance
voltage
divider
is
shunted
by
capacitors
whose
values
bear
the
inverse ratio to
the
resistor
values,
the
attenuation
is
independent
of
frequency.
The
attenuator
is
designed
to
have
an
input
resistance
of
1
meg
shunted
by
40
mmfd
for all positions.
Since
the
input
circuits
to
the
amplifiers
and
deflection plate
are arranged
to pre
sent 1
meg
shunted by
40
mmfd,
the
values
chosen
for
the
attenuator
are
such
that
correct
operation
is
obtained
when
these
values
are
in
parallel
with
the
shunt
arm.
The
capacitors
C32,
C35, and
C38
shunted
across
the
attenuators
have
no
effect
on
the
attenuation
ratio
but
are
adjusted
so as
to
keep
the
input
capacity
at
40
mmfd.
Vertical
Amplifier
The
Type
511A contains
a
wide
range
two stage
ver
tical
amplifier with
a
switching
arrangement
so
that
only
one
stage
may
be
used
if desired.
The
first
stage
which
is
used
only
in
the
2
STAGES
position
of
the
IN
PUT
CHAN.
SEL.
switch
uses
a
6AG7
tube
V1
6.
The
output
stage is
a
cathode
coupled,
push-pull
6AG7
stage,
providing
approximately 110
V
of
undis
torted
output.
The
operation
of
this
stage
is
the
same as
that
of
the
sweep
amplifier stage.
The use
of
a
push
pull
stage
is
required
to
give
sufficient
output
and
maintain
the
average
potential of the
deflection
plates
constant
so
as
to
prevent
defocussing
the
beam. Low
frequency
compensation
is
provided
to
correct
for the
effect
of
the
coupling
capacitors.
The
resistors
R110
and
R125 along
with
the
capacitors
C51A
and
C51B
provide
a
rising
low
frequency
characteristic together
with
a
phase
cor
rection.
To
take
up
variations in
the
component
values,
the
grid
resistor
R116
is
made
adjustable.
The
procedure
for
this
adjustment is given
in
Section
IV.
The induct
ances,
L7,
L8,
L9
and
L10
provide
the
high
frequency
compensation.
A
four
terminal
coupling
network
is
used
to
give
the
greatest
possible
bandwidth.
