- Description
This paper, No.591 which originated in the Sydney Division of The Institution was presented before the Communication Engineering Sub-committee of the Electrical Engineering Branch of the Division on 19/II/1936. Mr. William Glen Gordon BSc, is an officer of the Commonwealth Radio Research Board and Mr. Arthur Henry Mutton BE StudIEAust, was the Chief Engineer for the Paton Electrical Instrument Company, Sydney, and is now, an officer of the Commonwealth Radio Research Board.
- Abstract
The paper deals with a new device for creating, on the screen of an oscillograph, a horizontal frequency axis, so that curves of circuit response to various frequencies can be depicted instantaneously. The general principle of operation and the use of frequency bases are discussed and the various types of base in use at present are descnbed, along with their advantages and disadvantages. Beat-frequency generators are treated in connection with frequency bases and finally the theory, circuit, and operation of the new device are given.
