Gain
Control Circuit. The
gain
of
the IF Amplifier
is
determined by the input resistance provided by the Gain
Control circuit and by the impedance
of
the parallel LCR
network in the feedback loop. The Gain Control circuit has
six resistive input branches. The input branches
are
individ-
ually switched into the circuit by transistor and diode
switches controlled by lines from the
BANDWIDTH
switch.
With
the exception
of
the 300
Hz
branch, each section
of
the Gain Control circuit contains a variable resistor. This
provides a separate
gain
adjustment for each
BANDWIDTH
setting. The separate gain adjustments compensate for
gain
variations that occur in the Input Mixer and IF Filter.

4-53. IF Amplifier. The IF Amplifier
is
a 3-stage amplifier
circuit which
is
tuned to 100 kHz by the parallel resonant
tank circuit in the feedback loop. The 3
dB
bandwidth
of
the amplifier
is
approximately 1.2 kHz. The IF Amplifier
has a low-impedance complementary-symmetry output
stage which
drives
the following log and linear amplifier
stages. The full-scale
signal
level at the output (TP2)
of
the
IF Amplifier
is
approximately 2.8 V rms on
all
six
BANDWIDTH
settings.

Linear
Amplifier. The Linear Amplifier (Figure 4-5)
consists of an Input Attenuator, an Input Amplifier, an
Output Attenuator and
an
Output Amplifier. The Input
Attenuator
is
controlled by the front panel AMPLITUDE
