INPUT-OUTPUT For external modulation input or output from intemal TkHz. oscilla tor. FINE contol Continuous RF ourput valtage ad- juster, RF LOWHIGH switch Sets the RF output level; at LOW, output is lowered by 1/10, OUTPUT terminals For connection to RF output leads. Ciccuit Design The circuits which compose the LSG-16 will be described with reference to the functional block diageam and components designated on the schematic, A RF Circuit, The RF oscillator uses an FET, QUO4, in the Colpizts circuit to generate frequencies from 100kH2 to 100MHz on fundamentals. The frequency of operation is set with the FREQ RANGE switch and the tuning dial, Calibration accuracy is better than +1.5%, For convenience io setting the IF citeuit frequencies, tuning scales are marked at 459kHz, 4.5MHz and 10.7MHz, The oscillator output is coupled through an RC network to the input of RF buffer, Q102. The RC networle is employed to equalize the RF signal level over the wide frequency range of the oscillator, The RF output is con. rolled with the fine adjuster and LOW-HIGH switch. For amplitude modulation, the audio signal is sap- plied by the modulator, Q103, This transistor is in series with the drain circuit of che RE oscillator. The modulating is done by varying the drsia voltage at the aduio rate. AF Oscillator/Amplifier and Crystal Oscillator. Transistor Q104 is used for three functions, depend- ing on the positions of che mode switch. At EXT MOD position, it serves as an audio am- plifier for the external modalation inpus, The signal from INPUT is applied to the base through capacizer C119 and on to the modulator. The kHz signal is generated with use of the phase shift oscillator. The output is fed to the modulator and OUTPUT (when used externally}. At XTAL position, Q104 acts as an oscillator when a crystal, 1-15MHz, is inserted in the XTAL socket, The output is connected to the LOW tetminal of LOW. HIGH output switch, The signal is available at the OUTPUT connector at the LOW position. It is possible to supor- impose the RF oscillator signal on the crystal oscilator ourput at this positio Power Supply. ‘Two DC voltages are supplied from a rectifier filter system, Unregulated voltage at approximately +18V is used for the modulator and RF buffer collector circuits Regulated DC at approximately +11V is supplied to the RF oscillator through the modulator Qi03 und to the collector of Qi04. ‘The AC input winding on transformer ‘TPIOL is tapped for operation at 100, 115 and 230V. The neon pilot lamp is connected across the 100V winding. ‘fo minimize RF leakage, filter capacitors. €109-C110, ace connected across the ACal 32 SECTION 3 OPERATION Preparation 1. Set the POWER switch at OFF. 2. Connect the AC plug to the AC supply. 3. Connect the RF output leads to OUTPUT terminals. 4. Set the FINE control at center and the RF slide switch at LOW. During the tests, this switch is set at LOW or HIGH as required. 5. Set the FREQ RANGE switch at the operating band and rotate the frequency dial knob to set the pointer on the desired frequency. Connections ‘The RF leads are connected to the input of the circuit ‘under test, The red terminal is at high potential, ot “hot”, and black is at grouad potential for chassis connection. For the RF signal ar the receiver antenna input, connect 2 50 to 20082 resistor, 1/4W, in series, When checking sets with the bar or cod antenna, connect leads te a coil with a few turns ‘of wire and couple the coil to the antenna. Ja checking RF and IF amplifier circuits, connection should be made through a small capacitor, 1-SpP, in order to prevent deruning effects, NOTE: When connecting dircetly to the input circuit, make certain that there is no high DC voltage present. Otherwise, connect a blocking capacitor, 0.050 — 100pF, depending on the frequency. 33 34 35 Modulated Carrier, internal source Set the mode swite at INT. MOD. By tuning the receiver to the generator frequency, or vice versa, an audio tone will be heard in che loudspeaker. An audio voltmeter should he connected across the speaker terminals when aligning the internal citeuits. A dummy resistor with suitable power rating can be used in place of che moving coil curing the measurements. It is advisable to keep the RF signal level as low as possible in order to prevent overloading the transistors or electron tubes in the circuit. Excessive input voltage will cause AGC section andfor two resonance points to appear and proper alignment of adjustment is impossible. Modulated Carrier, external source Set the mode switch at EXT. MOD. Connect leads from an external audio generator to the INPUT. Frequencies up to 15kHz can be used for modulation at RF above 3MHz. The audio input voltage should not exceed 2V; this is to prevent modulation distoction. Unmodulated Carrier Set the mode switch ar EXT, MOD, There should be no connection to the INPUT. ‘The RF signal can be used in testing a receiver equipped with a beat oscillator, or ctreuits that do not require a modulated signal. ‘The RF signal can be applied to a sweep generator for the matker signal.3.6 Crystal Oscillator Ousput Control settings: Mode switch at XTAL, Inseze a crystal, in FT-243 holder, in the XTAL socket. IRF output switch at LOW, FREQ RANGE switch at “E” and frequency dial at 100MH2. FINE control at minimum. The output signal is treated in the same manner as for the unmodulated carcier with the exception that the output level cannot be adjusted. In certain calibration procedures a short Jead near the test circuit will provide sufficient coupling NOTE: If the RF signal is required at the same time, set the output frequency with the FREQ RANGE switch and frequency diel as required. Adjust the RF FINE control 3.7 AF Ourpue, 1kMe Control settings: Mode switch at INT, MOD. FREQ RANGE switch ar 200M. Couneet feads from OUTPUT to the test cizcuit, Use an external potentiometer, 100k-IMS2, to lower the voltage and frequency dial at 3.8 Oscillator Frequency Calibration The RF oscillator frequency can be calibrated to a high degree of precision using the harmonics of the internal crystal oscillator and an external all-wave receiver. The latter is utilized asa frequency transfer unit, 39 2 Exposing the 1 Set the mods switch at XTAL, Insect the “standard frequency” crystal, preferably at a mukiple of 1MHz. For spot frequency checking, a¢ say 10.7MHz, use a 10.7MHez crystal Set the RF slide switch at LOW. Adjust the FINE control as required. Connect the RF output to the receiver input, dicect or ‘through a small coupling capacitor co the rod antenna. In the following example, use of « IMHz exystal will be given. Tune the receiver to SMH, or Sth harmonic af MHP. Then by carefully raning both she oscillatar and receiver, an audio beat will be heard, The oscillator is adjusted to zero beat and the dial reading is noted. At other frequen- cies spaced IMHz apart, the same procedure is repeated, jor setting - tuning the receiver - retuning oxcillator and noting the reading on the dial. Practical use of harmonics up to the tenth or higher is possible. However, care must be exercised i the proper harmonic, espe tively low frequency crystal is used. NOTE: Wher a receiver equipped with a beat frequency ascillator is used, the measutements can be sim: plified.
