The use of the exponential-transfer-characteristics of a transistor
junction as a means of giving a logarithmic sweep calibration to a
sampling oscilloscope is presented. The prior work in logarithmic
converters leading up to the use of the transistor's transfer properties
is explored. A circuit adapting a sampling oscilloscope to a...
A short history is given of cathode-ray tubes, from the
earliest laboratory tubes available during the early 1900's through
present day high performance tubes. Special attention is paid to
the development of post-deflection acceleration types especially
band-type PDA tubes and an improvement on that type known as the
helix-type PDA...
