ARC HASH ANALYZER BY CATHODE-RAY TUBE Jan. 6, 1953 Filed April 18, 1947 INVENTOR MLL/AM P. BAKER A TTORNEY Patented Jan. 6 1953 UNITED STATES ENT OFFICE William R.

4 Claims.
This invention relates to an electrical signal analyzer functioning to present visually on the screen of a cathode ray tube wave forms over a selected short time interval, said interval being capable of adjustment to portray any portion of an electrical signal.
In a calutron, high-frequency oscillations occurring in the are or in the ion beam are denoted as hash. Arc hash is conducive to poor ion production while ion beam hash results in poor isotopic separation. This invention provides an analytical means for studying hash phenomena in the calutron with a view to its elimination. Although the invention has been evolved particularly for the purpose described, it is not intended that it be limited thereto inasmuch as it has broader applications for use in the study of any noisy electrical signal.
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a hash analyzer which presents visually on the screen of a cathode ray tube the wave form existing during a selected time interval of any section of an electrical signal.
Another object of the invention is to provide a control circuit including a locked multi-vibrator the operation of which can be initiated by a microswitch or by other electrical means such as a starting signal voltage from an external source.
Another object of the invention is to generate a pulse of rectangular wave form responsive to the control circuit and of selective duration and predetermined strength for controlling the intensity of the cathode ray beam whereby said beam excites the oscilloscope screen only for the interval of said pulse.
A further object of the invention is to coordinate the pulse intensifying the cathode ray beam with means for deflecting said beam in one direction over the same time interval of said pulse and means adapted to deflect said beam in another direction in accordance with the signal to be analyzed.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent in the following description and claims considered together with the accompanying drawing in which there is illustrated a schematic representation of the circuit elements embodying the invention.
Referring to the drawing, it will be noted that the locked-multivibrator circuit includes amplifier tubes l l and I2, voltage limiting duo-diode tube l1, and a cathode follower tube 13; a timing circuit comprising resistor 26 and condenser 21; an integrator circuit comprising resistor 43 and condenser 44; a starting circuit comprising a microswitch 33, a condenser 34, a resistor 35, and a condenser 36; an alternate starting circuit comprising terminal 4!, and a condenser 33; and a voltage regulated power supply l5 comprising duo-diode rectifier tube 20, and voltage regulator tube 25. The power supply is arranged to produce a high positive voltage at point 31 and a lower regulated voltage at point I8 and a negative voltage at point 2 I, the point 2| being maintained negative by means of resistor 25.
When the control circuit including the multivibrator is in its normal condition, no signal appears on the viewing screen of the cathode ray tube Ell. And when it is operated the cathode ray beam sweeps across the screen once and a signal appears on the screen representing the wave form of the signal during a selected time interval.
In the normal condition of the control circuit, tube II is nonconducting, tube I2 is conducting and the current through tube I3 is small. Also at this time section IA of duo-diode tube ll is conducting, thereby limiting the voltage on the plate of tube H to a predetermined value of about 108 volts. This predetermined value is equal to the voltage (of volts) at point it plus a small drop of a few volts through resistor it and section M of the duo-diode ll. Also in the normal condition the voltage on the signal grid of tube It is established at a negative value determined by the positive potential at the cathode of tube [3, the negative potential at the point 2! and the relative value of the resistors 22 and 23. Thus, in the normal condition of the circuit the signal grid of tube H is biased negative, maintaining this tube non-conducting. Also in the normal condition, the positive potential supplied from point I3 of the power supply l5 through the resistors I9 and 26, causes the grid of tube E2 to be maintained slightly positive thus drawing grid current and maintaining tube l2 conducting. As a result the condenser 21 is charged to a relatively high voltage of about 110 volts. Inasmuch as tube [2 is conducting at this time, the potential of its plate is at a very low value and section E8 of the duo-diode H is nonconducting. Also at this time a large bias is applied to the control grid of tube l3.
In th normal condition the microswitch 33 remains closed in position 3| thus charging condenser to the voltage of the point it of the power supply. To initiate operation of the control circuit, switch 33 is moved from position st to position 32 thus causing the condenser 3 5 follower.
to discharge through resistor 35 and to transmit a positive pulse through condensers 38 and 33 to the signal grid of tube H. As the negative bias on the signal grid of tube H is reduced by this positive pulse, the current through the tube H increases thus reducing the voltage on the plate of this tube. As the voltage on the plate of tube ll drops, the grid of tube 52 is driven negative by virtue of the voltage held across the condenser 2'! by the charge thereon thus driving the tube l2 toward cut-off and raising the potential on its plate. During the transitory stage the rate of change of voltage across the condenser 27 is less than the rate of change of voltageat the plate of tube Ii. As the potential on the plate of tube i2 increases, the grid of tube i3 is driven positive and by virtue of the cathodefollower action, the cathode of tube i3 is likewise driven more positive. This positive cathode signal is applied to the signal grid of tube It supporting the original positive pulse applied thereto and accelerating its efiect. As this transitory process continues, section it of the duodiode tube H is out ofi and when the potential at the plate of tube l2 reaches about 105 volts, section iii of the duo-diode tube ll starts to conduct, thereby limiting the potential on the plate of tube 12. As condenser 21 continues to discharge through the resistor 26, the potential on the signal grid of tube i2 is driven toward the A potential of point I8 of the power supply. As soon as the tube 12 starts to conduct, the potential atits plate is reduced and a negative pulse is transmitted through the cathode follower tube l3 to, the signal grid of tube ll, thus restoring the multivibrator circuit to its normal locked condition.
During the time that the cathode of tube 53 is maintained at its relatively high positive value, a positive'rectangular pulse is applied to theoutput terminal 39 which is connected to the control grid of the cathode ra tuber-5e and serves to intensify the cathode ray beam. Also in the same time interval a gradually increasing positivesignal is applied to the second output terminalv 4%] which is connected to the horizontal deflection plates of the cathode ray tube is and serves'to sweep the cathode ray beam horizontally by virtue of the action of the integrator circuit comprising resistor 63 and condenser id. The duration ofthis rectangular pulse is determined by the values of the timing circuit and the range of the sweep on the cathode ray tube '60 is determined by the time constant of the integrator circuit. In practice, the time constant of the timing circuit including the resistor 2'5 and one of the condensers 2?, 28 and 29, is so coordinated with the time constant of the integrating circuit, comprising resistor 43 and one of the condensers M, 45 and 66 by means of the ganged switches 48 and 59, that the triangular wave appearing at point 4% always reaches the same peak value during the time interval during which the rectangular pulse exists, Thus by means of this arrangement the cathode ray beam sweeps across the same horizontal range of the screen regardless of the length of the time interval selected for observing the noise or other signal.
The cathode follower circuit utilized here opcrates to sharpen the rectangular wave by virtue ,of the fact that the signal pulse applied to the control grid of tube H is applied thereto from the low impedance output circuit of the cathode Thus by using a cathode follower the time constant which controls the operation of the circuit during the transitory stage is shorter than it would otherwise be if the signal were applied from the plate circuit of tube [2 to the control grid of tube H. Also in connection with the cathode follower circuit, it is to be noted that because the signal grid and the cathode of this tube it! will chan e potential by substantially equal amounts, the efiective capacitance in the plate circuit of tube is is very low, there thus being substantially no Miller eliect.
Microswitch 33, condenser 35, and resistor 35 comprise a series circuit. The time constant of the circuit including condenser as and resistor 35 is by design made very low in comparison to 560 microseconds which is the approximate interval between successive bounce contacts on switch position 32 and is characteristic of the initial operation of the microswitch 33. The inclusion of condenser 35 and resistor 35 results in only one pulse on contact and precludes the tendency of the micro'switch 33 to transmit a succession of positive pulses to the signal grid of tube 9 i.
The inclusion of a condenser "between the screen grid and the cathode'of the tube l3 tends to maintain a substantially constant geometry in the region between the screen and the cathode during the transitionperiod.
The terminals! is utilized for applying, initiating, or starting signals tothe control'circuit from an external source.
Although this invention has been described with reference to a particular embodiment thereof, it is not limited to'this embodiment n'or otherwi'se except by the terms of the following claims.
