Block diagram of CRO Y-input: Main input of CRO to which the input signal is connected. = Vertical Attenuator: Consists of RC voltage divider. Marked as Volt/div control knob on front panel of CRO. Gain of CRO is controlled with this knob = Vertical Amplifier: A set of pre-amplifier and main vertical amplifier. Input attenuator sets ® the gain of vertical amplifier Circuit: Delays the striking of electron beam on the screen. Synchronizes the arrival of beam on screen when time base generator signal starts sweeping the beam horizontally. Trigger Circuit: Takes the sample of input voltage connected to Y-input of CRO & feeds it to the input of time base generator. Thus the TBG starts only when input signal is present ct Y-input http://arunxeee.bloaspot.in/ Block diagram of CRO ™ Time Base Generator: Produces a saw tooth wave. This waveform is used to sweep (move) the electron beam horizontally on the screen@Rate of rise of positive going edge of saw tooth waveform is controlled by Time/div control knob. Thus, saw tooth waveform controls the horizontal deflection of electron beam along the X-axis = Aswitch known as INT/EXT is connected after the output (of TBG. When in INT position, output of TBG is connected to H-plates through horizontal amplifier. When in EXT Position internal saw tooth is cut off and some external signals can be connected to the horizontal plates HV/LV Power Supply: HV- to power the electrodes of CRT & LV- to power the electronic circuits of CRO http://arunxeee.blogspot.in/ Block diagram of CRO ® Horizontal Ampiifier: Amplifies the saw tooth waveform coming from TBG. Contains a phase inverter circuit also. Due to this circuit, two outputs are produced. One output produces a positive going saw tooth & other one produces a negative going saw tooth connected to right side H-plate & left side H-plate respectively. So electron beam moves properly from left to right of the screen. = Blanking*Circuit: Necessary to eliminate the retrace, /which would produce when the spot on screen moves from right to lef, this retrace can produce confusion with the original wave. So when the electron beam reaches the right end of the screen, negative blanking voltage is produced by TBG. it is fed to control grid of CRT to stop the electron beam completely. é Vertical (Y) Deflection System ® Signals to be siemineqere usually applied fo the ¥- | deflection plates through an input aHenuator & a number of amplifier stages. © Vertical amplifiers are required because the signals are not strong enough to produce measurable deflection on CRI screen. = “Amplifier response must be wide enough to pass / {aithfully the entire band of frequencies to be measured = High Voltage Signals - must be attenuated fo bring them within range of vertical amplifiers ® Vertical Amplifiers output is also applied to the synchronizing amplifier through the synchronizer selector switch Horizontal (X) Deflection System = The Horizontal (X) Deflection Plates are fed by a sweep voltage that provides aime base » = Horizontal Amplifier works similar to Vertical Amplifiers = When external signals are to be applied to the horizontal deflection system, they can also be fed through the horizontal amplifier, via the sweep selector switch in the external position. / When the sweep selector switch is in the internal position, the horizontal amplifier receives an input from the saw tooth sweep generator which is triggered by the synchronizing amplifier. ® INT Position — HA receives signal from TBG. = EXT Position — Trigger is obtained from external source hite-Janinxaae blaaenat inf 1.A CRO can be used to measure a.
