10、riptions, refer to the block diagram (Fig. 1) and the schematic diagram. The sine-wave signal generated by the Wien bridge oscillator circuit is fed through the WAVE FORM selector switch set at the position to the OUTPUT control, by means of which it is adjusted to any desired voltage. If the WAVE F

11、ORM switch is in the “ _ _ ” position, the sine-wave signal is shaped into the square wave and the voltage is also adjusted by the OUTPUT control. The signal voltage thus adjusted is applied to the output circuit, where its impedance is appropriately converted, and then delivered through an output a

12、ttenuator to the output terminal. The attenuator provides selectable attenuations of 0dB through -50dB in 10dB steps at 600 of output impedance. 2. Wien Bridge Oscillator Circuit The Wien bridge oscillator circuit elements consist of the resistance elements, which may be switched over for 5 ranges b

13、y the FREQ. RANGE switch, and the variable capacitor controlled by the FREQUENCY dial. These elements provide means to vary the oscillating frequency continuously over 10 times its frequency on one range, thus determining any desired frequency within the entire frequency range from 10Hz to 1MHz. The

14、 amplifier circuit for the oscillator circuit is composed of a 2-stage differential amplifier and an output stage, employing an DC amplifier circuit. The first stage is a high input impedance circuit with FET while the driver stage is a wide band, high amplification type circuit with PNP transistors

15、 featuring high cut-off frequency. The output stage is a SEPP circuit using complementary transistors. The output voltage is fed back with positive polarity through the oscillator elements to form an oscillating circuit, while it is also fed back with negative polarity through the non-linear thermis

16、tor to stabilize the amplitude. 3. Square Wave Shaping Circuit The square wave shaping circuit is a Schmidt-trigger circuit in which the sine wave signal from the oscillator circuit is shaped into a square wave. It is composed of an emitter coupled Schmidt-trigger circuit and a buffer amplifier, thu

17、s providing sufficient rising and falling characteristics. 4. Output Circuit The output circuit converts the impedance of signal from the OUTPUT control and feeds the signal to the output attenuator at a low impedance. It is a SEPP-OCL circuit employing complementary transistors to provide sufficien

18、tly low output impedance characteristics over the range from DC to 1MHz. 5. Output Attenuator The 6-position output attenuator selects attenuations of 0dB to -50dB in 10dB steps. At the 0dB position with the OUTPUT control turned fully clockwise, the output voltage (sine wave at no-load time) is mor

19、e than 7V rms. The output impedance is rated for 600 and the attenuation accuracy is as high as 1.0dB at a 600 load. 6. Power Supply The Power supply circuit is powered by AC (100V, 120V or 220V) and delivers DC 22V sufficiently stabilized by large capacity smoothing capacitors (220OmF x 2) and a vo

20、ltage stabilizer. Panel Controls and Their Functions The table below describes the functions of panel controls. Refer to the panel diagram on page 9.

25、 Voltage Selector. This selector is preset to 240V position. A.C. power of 100V, 120V or 220V may be used by changing the position of the selector. Operating Instructions 1. Start-up First check that the fuse (12) and the power voltage selector (14) are in the normal positions, then connect the supp

26、lied AC power cord to your AC outlet. Press the power switch (2) and the pilot lamp (1) will light indicating that the unit is ready for operation. Allow 2 or 3 minutes for the unit to warm up so that it is stabilized. 2. Waveform Selection Press the WAVE FORM switch (5) to the position to obtain si

27、ne waves. Press the switch to the _ _ ” position for square waves. 3. Frequency Selection First set the FREQ.RANGE switch (6) to the desired range, then set the frequency dial (8) so that the dial pointer (10) indicates your frequency. Example: Suppose you want to select a frequency of 1.5kHz, then

28、proceed as follows: 1. Set FREQ RANGE switch (6) to x 100 2. By using the frequency dial, set the dial pointer (10) to “15” on the dial scale. The frequency thus selected is: 15 x 100 = 1500(Hz = 1.5(kHz) 4. Adjustment of Output Voltage The output voltage from OUTPUT terminal (4), be it sine wave or

29、 square wave, can be continuously varied by AMPLITUDE (7) and stepped down by ATTENUATOR (3). Example: To adjust output voltage to 10mV rms, proceed as follows: 1. Connect a voltmeter capable of measuring AC 1 V rms to OUTPUT terminal (4). 2. Set ATTENUATOR (3) to 0dB and then adjust AMPLITUDE (7) u

30、ntil the voltmeter indicates 1V rms. A voltage of 1V rms will appear at OUTPUT terminal (4). 3. Set ATTENUATOR (3) to -40dB. The voltmeter indicates about 0V, while a voltage of 10mV rms appears at OUTPUT terminal (4). 5. Use of Synchronizing Input Terminal By applying an external sine wave signal t

31、o SYNC terminal (11), the oscillating frequency of AG-203 can be synchronized to the external signal. The synchronizing range is increased in proportion as the input voltage is increased as shown in Fig. 3, indicating that the synchronizing range is about 1 % per input voltage of 1 V. Example: Suppo

32、se that the input signal voltage is 1V rms and the oscillating frequency of AG-203 is between 990Hz and 1010Hz (1kHz 1kHz x 1%/V x 1V = 1kHz 1kHz x 0.01), the frequency can be synchronized with 1 kHz of the input signal. Note that too high a synchronizing signal voltage will affect the amplitude and

33、 distortion factor, and care must therefore be taken when the signal voltage is higher than 3V rms. Also, note that if the synchronizing signal is largely deviated from the frequency of AG-203, the synchronization is pulled out which affects the distortion factor. It is therefore advisable that the

34、oscillating frequency be first synchronized with a low input signal voltage (less than 1 V rms) and then the voltage be increased. Applications 1. Using as Sine Wave Oscillator AG-203 can be used as a sine wave oscillator as outlined below. 1.1 Since the unit features low distortion factor, it can b

35、e used for measurement of distortion characteristic of amplifier. 1.2 Since the unit features wide bandwidth, it can be used for measurement of frequency characteristic of amplifier. 1.3 The built-in high accuracy attenuator permits measurement of amplifier gain. 1.4 Can be used as a signal-source o

36、f impedance bridge. 2. Measurement of Amplifier Gain An example of measurement of amplifier gain is described below. First connect AG-203, amplifier to be tested and AC volt-meter as shown in Fig. 4. 1 . Adjust ATTENUATOR (3) and AMPLITUDE (7) so that AC volt-meter indicates the rated output (suppos

37、ed to be 1V in this example) of the amplifier. To facilitate the measurement, it is advisable to set ATTENUATOR (3) as low as possible. Assume that ATTENUATOR (3) is set 50dB for the rated output. 2. Disconnect the amplifier and connect the AC volt-meter to AG-203 to measure the output voltage. Note

38、 that the use of ATTENUATOR (3) eliminates the need for connecting a high sensitivity voltmeter. If ATTENUATOR (3) is set to 0dB and the voltmeter indicates 2V, it means that the input voltage of the amplifier is 50dB below 2V. Therefore, the gain obtained is as follows: 50dB + 20 10 1V gdB 2V lo =

39、50dB 6dB = 44dB 3. Measurement of Phase Characteristic Connect AG-203 and an oscilloscope to the amplifier to be tested as shown in Fig. 5. If there is no phase shift about the output signal of the amplifier, the oscilloscope will display a straight line as shown in Fig. 5A. If the straight line on

40、the oscilloscope is curved at its top and bottom sections as shown in Fig. 5B, it indicates that the output signal of amplifier is suffering from an amplitude distortion. In this case, reduce the output level of AG -203 a little to vary the frequency. This causes the straight line on the oscilloscop

41、e to expand gradually to turn into an ellipse. By utilizing the configuration of this ellipse, the phase shift can be calculated as follows: First, measure the maximum horizontal deflection and suppose that this deflection is X” and that the section at which the ellipse crosses the horizontal axis i

42、s “x, as shown in Fig. 6. And, the phase shift angle is given by the following. x Sin = X Find from the table of trigonometric functions and the value obtained gives the angle of phase shift. 4.

AG-203 features excellent rising and characteristic). It has no coupling capacitors in the output stage, so the sag (deflection of
