the 492P. The resistance between output terminals 16, 2,
and 15 of U3022 is the input resistance for operational am
plifier U2018. R2022 is the feedback resistance.
Tune Volts Buffer. The tune volts buffer consists of am
plifier U1025B and surrounding components. The COARSE
TUNE VOLTS signal from the Center Frequency Control cir
cuits is reduced to approximately 25% of its amplitude by
divider R1028/R1027. The reduced voltage is applied to
U1025B, which is configured as a voltage follower with a
gain of +1. The output is then fed to the Dot marker stage
in the Crt Readout circuits.
Input Switching. This stage consists of FET Q2033,
comparators U3014A and U3014C, and FET Q2026. When
maximum span is selected, line Q
8
of U4017 goes low,
causing U3014C to switch. This in turn causes Q2026 to
conduct and place R2030 in parallel with R2031, increasing
the stage gain of U2032. Also, the same low state is applied
to the input of U3014A, which switches and cuts off Q2033.
This action disconnects the TUNE VOLTS signal from the
amplifier; the TUNE VOLTS is then used only to position a
marker on the display. With only the span voltage connect
ed, however, the oscillator is still able to sweep over its full
frequency range. The center frequency is equal to the center
of the range, which is 4.211 GHz.
If the main coil is not to be swept, line Q7 of U4017 goes
low, which cuts off Q3028 and de-energizes K2028. This
removes the SPAN VOLTS signal from the amplifier. Diode
CR3031 protects Q3028 from the inductive feedback surges
that occur at turn-off.
Oscillator Filter Driver. This circuit consists of Q2029
and related components. When relay K2028 is de-energized,
as just described, Q2029 conducts. This stage drives a ca-
pacitor-switching relay on the 1 st LO Interface board. The
capacitors are switched across the main coil whenever it is
not being swept, to filter noise from the tuning current. Ca
pacitor C2025 maintains current through the relay after
power is turned off, until the coil current has decayed.
Summing Amplifier. This operational amplifier circuit
consists
of
amplifier
U2032,
complementary
pair
Q2035/Q2039, and related components. The feedback re
sistance for this circuit is R1038. The input resistance is
R2027 for the COARSE TUNE VOLTS input and R2031 for
the SPAN VOLTS input. (R2030 is switched across R2031,
as mentioned earlier, to increase stage gain for maximum
span operation.) The output of the summing amplifier, which
swings from -1 0 V to +10 V, is applied to the Preselector
Driver circuits and to the Video Processor. It is also fed
through R1031, the 1st LO SENSE adjustment, summed
with the offset voltage from R1032 (1st LO OFFSET), then
applied to the source of Q2040. Adjustments R1031 and
R1032 match the oscillator driver stage to the oscillator
characteristics. R1032 adds offset to the output of U2032 to
place the oscillator at center operating frequency when the
output of U2032 is at zero volts. R1031 matches the sensi
tivity of the oscillator to the output amplitude from
Q2039/Q2035.
FET Q2040 is used to disconnect the signal from the
driver stage. In order to degauss the oscillator coil, (thus
establishing a known magnetic history), the microcomputer
causes line Q
6
of U4017 to go high for about 200 ms. The
output of comparator U3014D goes low, cutting off Q2040.
This removes all drive from the oscillator coil until the Q
6
line
returns low.
Oscillator Driver. The oscillator driver stage consists of
operational amplifier U2043/Q3047 and surrounding compo
nents. It converts its voltage input into the current drive re
quired by the oscillator main tuning coil.
Preamplifier stage Q2045, which receives the signal from
the operational amplifier U2032, Q2039/Q2035 through
Q2040, is a low-noise matched dual transistor. Q2045 is
