- requency control requency control of the - is done in steps. here is a motor which tunes a voltage controlled oscillator and all and resonant circuits by variable capacitors via a gearbox. econd, the O frequency is locked to a crystal reference, set up using edex stepper motors and a relay, all controlled by the digits on the remote frequency control panel. requency is controlled in digits, in 0. z steps. he crystal reference system has oscillators. he st and nd digit select a harmonic of an. kz crystal oscillator (osc.) he d and th digit control a bank of + + = crystals, for x x = frequencies, using oscillators : osc, osc and osc. he crystals are in ovens. he crystal frequencies are. stepsize /.00000 osc. controlled by d digit...00000 ----------------------------------.0000. stepsize /.

With kz difference, the output of the phase comparator is a kz sinewave of approx. 0 pp he first (fixed) I in the main receiver is at. z. (.0 for the guard receiver) Guard,- and main I have a common.0 z oscillator to step down to the second I frequency at. z for the main receiver, or.0 z for the guard receiver. he frequency of the O (black), and that of osc.

uning control ee drawing of the elector ( - / - ) ormally, when tuned, relay is O, (via its holding contact and the positive derr voltage) and the motor does not run. fter a change in selected frequency, derr drops to zero, drops O, and the motor starts running. he variable capacitors are tuned at a speed of z/sec (!) until they are in the right segment, and a negative peak occurs in derr, indicating that the correct frequency was passed. his triggers the thyratrons, and a coil selects low (0.%) reverse gear, so the variable capacitors move backward slowly. he motor itself runs still in forward direction, so the phase detector remains active. he current in the low gear coil sets O, and when the phase lock loop closes, derr becomes positive to compensate for the still slowly moving tuning capacitors. When derr reaches +, turns on and the motor stops. fter 0. sec, drops O, so the thyratrons stop conduction, but remains O to keep the motor off. In this plot, the anode voltage of thyratrons is recorded together with the derr signal. very time the tuning passes the right (0 wide) segment, the anode voltage is +00. ed is the tuned frequency, cycling between 0 and 00 z. he timebase is sec/div. otal tuning takes approx. sec. he phase lock detector is only operative with decreasing frequency, he variable capacitors shafts run at 0 rpm in coarse mode and -0. rpm in fine mode.
