Question 1 Explanation:
1.\;\;10\frac{1}{2} digital time counter:
Frequency mode of operation: f=\frac{n}{t}
Let f = frequency of input signal
n = number of cycles of repetitive signal
\Rightarrow \;\;100 \times 10^6
Let t \Rightarrow Gate time \Rightarrow \;t=1 sec.
f=\frac{100 \times 10^6}{1 sec}=10^8 Hz
\;\;=10^8 cycles/sec
On 10\frac{1}{2} digit display
100000000.00Hz
2.\;\; \text{Period mode of operation:}
P=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{t}{n}=\frac{1sec}{100 \times 10^6}
Let P=Period of input signal
P=0.01 \times 10^{-6}
\;\;=10 \times 10^{-9}
\;\;=1 \times 10n-sec
\;\;=10.000000000 n-sec
Frequency mode of operation: f=\frac{n}{t}
Let f = frequency of input signal
n = number of cycles of repetitive signal
\Rightarrow \;\;100 \times 10^6
Let t \Rightarrow Gate time \Rightarrow \;t=1 sec.
f=\frac{100 \times 10^6}{1 sec}=10^8 Hz
\;\;=10^8 cycles/sec
On 10\frac{1}{2} digit display
100000000.00Hz
2.\;\; \text{Period mode of operation:}
P=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{t}{n}=\frac{1sec}{100 \times 10^6}
Let P=Period of input signal
P=0.01 \times 10^{-6}
\;\;=10 \times 10^{-9}
\;\;=1 \times 10n-sec
\;\;=10.000000000 n-sec
Question 2 |
A stationary closed Lissajous pattern on an oscilloscope has 3 horizontal tangencies and 2
vertical tangencies for a horizontal input with frequency 3 kHZ. The frequency of the vertical
input is
1.5kHz | |
2kHz | |
3kHz | |
4.5kHz |
Question 2 Explanation:
\begin{aligned} \frac{f_y}{f_x} &= \frac{\text{Horizontal Tangencies}}{\text{VerticalTangencies}}\\ \Rightarrow \; \frac{f_y}{3} &=\frac{3 }{2}\\ \Rightarrow \; f_y&= 4.5kHz \end{aligned}
Question 3 |
The slope and level detector circuit in a CRO has a delay of 100 ns. The start-stop sweep
generator has a response time of 50 ns. In order to display correctly, a delay line of
150 ns has to be inserted into the y-channel | |
150 ns has to be inserted into the x-channel | |
150 ns has to be inserted into both x and y channels | |
100 ns has to be inserted into both x and y channels |
Question 3 Explanation:
A delay line of 150ns has to be inserted into the y-channel to get synchronous between sweep signal applied to x-plate and test signal applied to y-plate.

Question 4 Explanation:
The waveform pattern appearing on the screen of CRO is shown below. Here, S_1 is applied to vertical deflecting plate and S_2 to horizontal deflecting plate.
Question 5 |
In an oscilloscope screen, linear sweep is applied at the
vertical axis | |
horizontal axis | |
origin | |
both horizontal and vertical axis |
Question 5 Explanation:
A CRO uses a horizontal input voltage which is an internally generated ramp voltage (i.e. linear sweep voltage) called "Time base of CRO". An oscilloscope is used to disply waveform which varies as a function of time. To reproduce the waveform accurately, the beam must have a constant horizontal velocity i.e. the deflecting voltage must increase linearly with time. This voltage is called a ramp voltage. Thus , a sawtooth waveform also called linear sweep voltage is applied to the horizontal deflection system ( or horizontal axis) which provides a time base to CRO.
