  • Patent number: 5036285
    Abstract: A test arrangement for testing stripline mounted coils includes a resonant robe having a planar mounted coil imbedded in a dielectric housing. A signal generator connected to the probe and a readout device connected to the stripline complete the test arrangement.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 6, 1982
    Date of Patent: July 30, 1991

  • Patent number: 4283676
    Abstract: A high capacitance measuring apparatus which provides a direct reading of unknown large capacitor using a voltage comparator, a multi-vibrator flip-flop circuit, and a ramp generator. A timing post which corresponds to one RC time for the capacitor being measured feeds into a ramp generator. The ramp generator output produces an indication on a calibrated meter to give a direct reading.

  • Patent number: 4128774
    Abstract: A gated waveform generator programmable to produce an output having a preermined number of cycles. A triggering pulse and the output from a zero-crossing detector are connected to different inputs of a bistable multivibrator. The triggering pulse causes the cyclic input signal to be applied to the zero-crossing detector so that the output of the bistable multivibrator is pulse coincident with a mode of the input signal. The outputs of the zero-crossing detector and the bistable multivibrator are connected to a monostable multivibrator having a period controlled by a timing network which determines the number of cycles in the output of the signal sources. Upon the occurrence of its first mode after the triggering pulse, the input signal is coupled for the determined time to an operational amplifier from which the output of the signal source is taken.
