AVTECH ELECTROSYSTEMS LTD. NANOSECOND WAVEFORM ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING - MANUFACTURING P.O. BOX 265 BOX 5120 STN. ‘'F’’ OGDENSBURG OTTAWA, ONTARIO a NEW YORK a] CANADA K2C 3H4 13669 (613) 226.5772 (315) 472-5270 TELEX 053.4591 INSTRUCTIONS MODEL AVB1-S00-ES1 MONOCYCLE GENERATOR __________________________________________________________________ WARRANTY Aavtech Electrosvstems Ltd. warrants Products of its manufacture to be free from defects in material and workmanship under conditions of normal use. If. within one year after delivery to the oriaqinal owner, and after prepaid return by the original owner, this Avtech product is found to be defective, Avtech shall at its option repair or replace said defective item. This warranty does not apply to units which have been dissembled, moadified oar subiected ta conditions exceedina the applicable specifications or ratings. This warranty is the extent of the obligation or liability assumed bv Avtech with respect to this product = an d no other warranty or guarantee is either expressed or implied. __________________________________________________________________ MONOCYCLE GENERATOR TEST ARRANGEMENT: 50 db attenuator Out TO 424 _— B Frequency Sampling volts TL AVB1 A Control Scope «’” Cable In Output Trigger Pulse PRF: <1 MHz Generator PW: 0.1 to 1.0 usec Amplitude: +2 to +5 volts __________________________________________________________________ Notes: 1) The bandwidth capability of components and instruments used to display the monacvcle generator output sianal (attenuators. cables, connectors, etc.) should exceed several giaahertz. 2) The use of a 30 db attenuator will insure a peak input signal to the sampling scope of less than ane volt. In general, the pulse generator trigger delav control should be set in the <190 nsec range. Gther settings should be as shown in the above diagram. The monocycle generator output is delaved with respect to the trigger input siqnal by about 70 nsec (typically). 4) The output frequency is controlled primarily bv the length of miniature 50 ohm coaxial cable connected between the A and B ports. The frequency control cable may be fabricated from RG 174 miniature coax with Americon 2001 - 71898 connectors (ar the equivalent) or from 85 mil semi-rigid cable with Americon 2001 — 5032 connectors (or the equivalent). The output signal half-period (T/2) and cable lenath (L) are related linearily (@1.5 nsec over foot of cable). CAUTION: The center conductor on the frequency control cable is at a DCE potential of +130V and so the instrument should be turned off when the cable is to be changed. The output frequency is also slightly dependent on the setting of the PW P and PWN oot controls. Clockwise rotation of the pot controls tends to increase the width of positive and neaative aaing seaqments of the output sinusoid. 6) The unit was adjusted to provide 500 MHz output at the time of shipping so little or no adiustment of the above controls should be necessarv. 7) The +15 volt supply should be disconnected when changing ar removing the frequency control cable. @) The monocycle aenerator can withstand an infinite VSWR on the output port. >) CAUTION: The unit mav fail if the trigger PREF exceeds 1.0 MHz. __________________________________________________________________ O4L.23.86 __________________________________________________________________
