CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Refer to the block diagram of the Model 132
VCG/
Noise Generator, Figure 3-l.
Basically, a square wave is applied to the input of an
integrator composed of a wide-band differential dc
amplifier, integrating resistor and capacitor. Output
of the integrator is fed into the hysteresis switch.
The hysteresis and output switches function like a
Schmitt trigger with the limit points set at the
wave-
form extremes, firing when the triangle wave reaches
+1.25 volts and -1.25 volts. When firing occurs, the
hysteresis and output switches are set, reversing the
square wave fed into the integrator. Reversal of the
square wave causes the triangle wave to reverse direc-
