    Sweep-Voltage Waveforms
    Objective:
    To study the sweep-voltage waveform generator

    Equipment:
    DC power supply, oscilloscope, 2N3904npn, 2N3906pnp transistors, resistors and
    capacitors.

    Introduction:
    A sweep-voltage waveform is one where voltage starts from a base line and
    increases at a uniform linear rate up to a peak amplitude then rapidly returns to its
    base line voltage. A sweep waveform is also referred to as a saw-tooth or time base.
    This latter term comes from application of a sweep waveform in an oscilloscope to
    move the election beam across the CRT at a uniform rate, thereby establishing the
    oscilloscope's time base. The sweep waveform has two basic parts as shown in fig. 1;
    the sweep time ts and the recovery time trc. The recovery time is also made of two
    parts: the flyback time tf and the off-time toff. The total period of sweep waveform is:

    T= ts + trc

    Most methods for generating sweep voltages use the charging of a capacitor.
    However, the capacitor can't be charged through a resistor because this would produce
    an exponential waveform rather than a linear waveform. In order to produce a linear
    capacitor charging waveform the capacitor charging current

    dVc ic
    =
    dt C

    It's clear that if ic is held constant the capacitor charging will be constant and the
    capacitor voltage will Change at a uniform rate. A transistor can be used to provide a
    reasonably constant current to produce a linear capacitor charging waveform.

    Fig, 2 shows a sweep-voltage generator using a resistor and a capacitor. The


    transistor across the capacitor is used to discharge the capacitor when a control signal
    is applied to its base.
    In fig. 3, another transistor is connected in series with capacitor to provide a
    constant charging current.

    Procedure:
    (1) Connect the circuit as shown in Fig. 2

    (2) Apply a control signal Vin with 250 Hz 10 volt pk-pk with 5V DC offset and 0.2
    duty cycle square wave, Observe Vc(t) and find ts, tf and toff.

    (3) Repeat (2) for other frequencies (100HZ, 500Hz and 1000Hz).
    (4) Connect the circuit as shown in Fig. 3.

    (5) Apply a control signal Vin with 250Hz 10 Volt P-P with 5 volt DC offset and 0.2
    duty cycle square wave. Observe Vc(t) and find ts, tf and toff.

    (6) Repeat (5) for other frequencies (500Hz, 1000Hz).

    (7) Repeat (5) for other duty cycles (0.25, 0.5).
