    The document describes the basic components and operation of a cathode-ray oscilloscope. An oscilloscope consists of a cathode-ray tube and associated control circuitry. In the cathode-ray tube, electrons emitted from a heated cathode are focused into a beam and accelerated toward a fluorescent screen by deflecting plates. The electron beam is swept horizontally across the screen by a time base circuit and vertically by the input waveform being measured, producing a voltage-versus-time display of the input signal.

    Cathode-Ray Oscilloscopes
    Introduction
    The oscilloscope is the basic instrument for the study of all
    types of waveforms.
    It can be employed to measure such quantities as peak
    voltage, frequency, phase difference, pulse width, delay time, rise time, and
    fall time.
    An oscilloscope consists of a cathode-ray tube (!T" and its
    associated control and input circuitry.
    In the !T, electrons generated at a heated cathode are shaped
    into a fine beam and accelerated toward a fluorescent screen.
    The screen glows at the point at which the electrons strike.
    The electron beam is easily deflected vertically and
    hori#ontally by voltages applied to deflecting plates.
    $sually, the beam is swept hori#ontally across the screen by a
    ramp voltage generated by a lime base circuit, and the waveform to be
    investigated is applied to deflect the beam vertically.
    This results in a voltage-versus-time display of the input
    waveform.
    %ost oscilloscopes are dual-trace (or multitrace" instruments
    capable of displaying two or more waveforms simultaneously.
    CATHODE-RAY TUBE
    Operation
    The basic construction and biasing of a cathode-ray tube are
    shown in &igure '.
    The filament heats the cathode, which emits electrons.
    The triode section of the tube consists of a cathode, a grid, and
    an anode.
    The cathode is typically held at appro(imately -) k*, and the
    grid potential is ad+ustable from appro(imately -),,, * to -),-, *.
    The grid-cathode potential controls the electron flow from the
    cathode and thus controls the number of electrons directed to the screen.
    '
    Thouheed/ece/10
    A large number of electrons striking one point will cause the
    screen to glow brightly. a small number will produce a dim glow.
    Therefore, the grid potential control is a brightness control.
    The grid voltage controls the flow of electrons to anodes A',
    A), and A/ which focus the beam to a fine point at the screen.
    The focusing electrodes A', A), and A/ are sometimes
    referred to as an electron lens.
    The function of the electron lens is to focus the electrons to a
    fine point on the screen of the tube.
    *oltages applied to the vertical and hori#ontal deflecting
    plates move the electron beam around the screen.
    A beam of electrons is generated by the cathode and directed
    to the screen, causing the phosphor coating on the screen to glow where
    the electrons strike.
    The electron beam is deflected vertically and hori#ontally by
    e(ternally applied voltages.
