Opamp circuit provides independent controls over amplitude and frequency, as required for amplitude-modulating auditory signals to either ear for creating impression of left to right scan. High output impedance of ramps makes use of voltage follower output stage essential. Another opamp is used for inversion and level-shifting of complementary ramp, so both ramps are available from very low impedance sources. Article describes circuit operation in detail. For values shown, ramp output is variable from 400 mV to 8V, and ramp time from 50 ms to 2 s.-L. J.

Ramp circuit was developed to drive FETs serving as voltage-dependent resistances in Wien-bridge oscillator of AF sweep generator. Article gives all circuits and construction details. Sweep linearity is better than 15% for all four ranges, covering 10 Hz to 100 kHz.

Uses neons as relaxation oscillator for producing sawtooth wave required for monitor scope of SSB transmitter. Rate at which C1 charges depends on its value and those of R2 and R3. When C1 charges to breakdown voltage of neon string, around 70 V per tube, neons fire and C1 discharges through them. C1 then starts charging again, to give sawtooth output. Voltage source should be about 500VDC, and R1 at least 500K. For greater sweep width, increase number of neons in series.-D.

Simple modern time-base circuit using transistors can be added to old oscilloscopes that have only a synchronized free-running sweep. Size of CT determines sweep rate. When timing capacitor CT charges to breakdown voltage of reverse biased BC107B, capacitor is quickly discharged until voltage drops about 2 V and transistor assumes its high-resistance state again for start of next sweep.-K.

Circuit provides predistortion of sweep with concavity or convexity as required to compensate for nonlinearity of circuit being driven, Q1 operates as constant-current source that provides current proportional to voltage difference between ±15 V supply and base voltage of Q1. Ramp output is linear when wiper of curvature pot is set to minimum position (ground). Period of ramp is same as that of trigger impulses that gate SCR on. Circuit uses DC coupling, avoiding need for large coupling capacitors.

The figure shows the circuit of the milliohm adapter. It can apply 1A, 100 mA, or 10 mA to the resistance under test. The current application will indicate the resistance directly in millivolts if your voltmeter is set on the 2-V range. B1 is the high-current source, an alkaline battery capable of generating the 1 A used in the circuit's highest-current application mode. This must be an alkaline battery. A three-position switch enables user selection of the desired applied current to the DUT. S1 performs as a dual-function on/off switch. When a measurement is to be made, pressing S1 turns on the circuit, which consists of a micropower voltage reference chip IC1 and an op amp, IC2. 101's out-put is 2.500 V, and that voltage is divided by R1 and R2, producing 0.1Vat the input of IC2. This turns on Q1, creating a 0.1-V potential at its source terminal. The resistive divider (R4, R5, and R6) forms a current source along with Q1, the 1.5-V battery and the DUT's resistance. That is applied to the DUT through the two output terminals, T1 and T2. When you connect your voltmeter across these terminals, you can directly read the resistance of the DUT. An optional LED shows when the circuit is in test mode. The 1-A range of the instrument will drain the 1.5-V alkaline battery faster than the 9-V battery, so it is advisable for reasons of economy not to keep S1 depressed for protracted periods on that range, or else the battery- life will suffer. Releasing S1 will halt the current source through Q1 and the associated circuit path, and thus will shut off the current flow from the 1.5-volt battery. The same effect will occur if you disconnect the test leads. (View)
