PULSE
MODULATION
ASSEMBLY
A21
Pulse
Modulator
Driver
Pulse
modulation
is
produced
by
the
A21
pulse
modulator
driver
assembly
driving
one
of
the
two
pulse
modulators.
The
front
panel
pulse
modulation
input
Is
a
TTL
compatible
Input.
A
low
signal
on
this
input
turns
the
RF
off,
and
a
high
turns
the
RF
on.
With
no
connection,
the
pulse
modulation
input
Is
internally
pulled
to
a
TTL
high
level.
When
a
low
signal
Is
present
on
the
pulse
modulation
input,
the
A21
pulse
modulator
driver
delivers
20
mA
to
one
of
the
two
pulse
modulators.
An
output
multiplexer
on
the
A21
assembly
directs
the
20
mA
modulator
current
to
the
A9
low
band
pulse
modulator
when
the
Instrument
is
in
low
band,
or
to
the
pulse
modulator
in
the
A16
mod/splitter
when
the
synthesizer
Is
In
high
band.
The
leveled
instrument
pulse
modulation
capability
requires
timing
signals
be
sent
to
the
ALC
assemblies.
The
timing
signals
coordinate
the
leveling
operation
with
the
pulse
operation.
When
a
pulse
Is
Initiated,
three
timing
signals
are
generated
on
the
A21
pulse
modulator
driver
assembly:
Sample/Hold
Timing
This
signal
controls
the
sample/hold
gate
on
the
A25
detector
assembly.
It
Is
adjusted
to
close
the
gate
(sample)
when
the
RF
pulse
is
on
and
open
the
gate
(hold)
when
the
RF
Is
off.
The
sample/
hold
output
voltage
represents
the
peak
RF
amplitude.
Bias
Sample/Hold
Timing
This
signal
controls
the
sample/hold
gate
on
the
A22
assembly
(applicable
on
HP
8341
B
Option
003
only).
It
Is
adjusted
to
close
the
gate
(sample)
when
the
RF
pulse
is
on
and
open
the
gate
(hold)
when
the
RF
is
off.
The
signal
keeps
the
3RD
bias
constant
when
the
RF
output
Is
off.
Analog
to
Digital
Converter
(ADC)
Timing
This
signal
enables
the
analog
to
digital
converter
on
the
A27
level
control
assembly
to
monitor
the
output
of
the
sample/hold.
The
ADC
is
enabled
when
the
RF
is
on,
and
for
1
ms
after
the
RF
is
turned
off.
After
1
ms,
voltage
droop
renders
the
sample/hold
value
inaccurate.
Integrator
Timing
This
signal
controls
the
integrate
and
hold
gate
on
the
A26
linear
modulator
assembly
This
gate
is
closed
when
the
RF
is
on
and
stable
To
speed
response
time
for
narrow
pulses,
the
gate
is
held
closed
for
a
minimum
of
10
^s.
The
sample/hold
maintains
a
valid
integrator
Input
after
the
pulse
is
turned
off
