General Information
The Tektronix Types 141A and R141A PAL Television Test Signal Generators1 are a source of high-quality television test signals for 625-line, 50-cycle field standard PAL2 colour TV Systems. The all solid state Type R141A utilizes digital integrated circuits to achieve compactness, stability, accuracy, and reliability. Three operating modes provide PAL colour bars, 5-step staircase with fixed Average Picture Level (APL), and 5-step staircase with variable A.PL.
The standard colour bar output is a full-field test signal appearing on every active line, and consists of 75% amplitude colour bars in descending luminance order without setup. The white reference can be selected for 75% or 100%. With 100% white reference, the signal is known as EBU bars (European Broadcast Union). To meet the needs and preferences of TV engineers in the United Kingdom and on the Continent, two other versions of colour bar signal can be selected: 100% amplitude bars with 100% white reference and no setup, and 75% amplitude bars with 100% white reference and 25% setup. The latter signal is referred to in the United Kingdom as 95% bars.
The staircase signal is particularly useful with a Tektronix Type 520 PAL Vectroscope to measure differential phase and differential gain (the transient response of the staircase signal component is determined by a sin2 filter whose cutoff frequency limits the energy content in the region of the colour subcarrier frequency). Luminance channel linearity may also be measured with an oscilloscope and a Tektronix Video Staircase Differentiator (Part No. 015-0075-00), or a Tektronix Type 529 MOD 188D.
The PAL subcarrier component of the staircase signal is 140 mV peak to peak in amplitude and is accurately phased at 180°. Thus, the subcarrier vector lies along the -U PAL axis on all lines carrying the staircase signal. If desired, the subcarrier may be switched off. The last step (at white level) is double width so it can be viewed with and without subcarrier to detect clipping in the white direction. To provide VITS (Vertical Insertion Test Signal) information, the staircase signal is keyed on during a selected line of the vertical blanking interval in one or both pairs of fields, depending on the settings of the FIELD and LINE switches.
Normal PAL colour burst is provided on the staircase and colour bar signals. The complex four-field Bruch blanking sequence during the vertical interval is provided and may be switched off.
1Since both models of the generator are electrically identical, the rllckmount model !Type R141 AI is used for the text and illustrations in this manual unless noted otherwise.
'Phase Alternation Line system.
"Gen-lock: to link or synchronize one system to another with regard to frequency and phase.

A 1-MHz reference signal which is frequency "locked" to the 4.43361875 MHz PAL subcarrier oscillator is made available at the back of the instrument. The accuracy of the internal subcarrier oscillator may be conveniently verified by comparing the 1-MHz reference with known frequencies, such as the Droitwich 200-kHz radio transmissions in Europe. Subcarrier frequency stability and other specifications conform with present CCIR practice.
Outputs provided on the front and rear of the instrument are Comp Video, Comp Sync, Subcarrier, PAL Pulse, and Field Drive. Additional outputs provided at the rear of this instrument are Comp Blanking, Line Drive, Burst Flag, and reference signals of 12.5 Hz, 25 Hz, and 1.00 MHz. The Type R141A can serve as a PAL Sync Generator. However, it may not be gen-locked 3 to another PAL video signal.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS

INSTALLATION
Rackmounting
Complete information for mounting the Type R141 A in a rack is given on the Rackmounting fold-out pages located in Section 9 at the back of the manual.

Operating Voltage
The Type R141A may be operated from either a 115-V or 230-V line voltage source. Quick-change line-voltage selector plugs, located under the fuse cover on the rear panel, change the transformer primary connections so the instrument can operate from one line voltage or the other (115 V or 230 V). In addition, the plugs permit one of three line voltage operating ranges to be selected. Table 2-1 lists all the voltage ranges that enable the instrument DC power supplies to regulate properly.
To convert to a different line voltage, proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the Type R141 A from the power source.

2. Unscrew the two captive screws holding the fuse cover. Remove the cover with attached fuses.
3. To convert to a different line voltage (115 V to 230 V), pull out the 115/230 Voltage Selector plug (see Fig. 2-1). Rotate the plug 180· and insert it into the opposite set of holes. The 115/230 Voltage Selector plug is located in the upper position for 115-V operation and in the lower position for 230-V operation.
4. To change the line-voltage operating range (LO, M or HI), pull out the Range Selector plug (see Fig. 2-1) and

insert it in the desired hole locations. Select a range with a center voltage (see column 3 in Table 2-1) closely corresponding to the line voltage that will be applied in regular instrument operation.
5. Re-install the cover with two captive screws and fuses. Be sure the cover fits firmly against the rear panel. This indicates that the line fuses are seated properly in the fuse clips.
6. Before applying power to the instrument, check that the indicating tabs on the selector plugs protrude through the proper holes in the cover for the correct line voltage and the proper operating range.
CAUTION The Type R141 A should not be operated with the 115/230 Voltage Selector and/or Range Selector plugs in the wrong position for the line voltage applied. Operation of the instrument with either plug in the wrong position may cause incorrect operation or damage to the instrument.

BASIC INFORMATION
Frequent check-out of colour TV broadcast equipment is essential in providing realistic and accurate presentation of taped or live colour scenes. In addition, rapid check-out of the signal monitoring instruments is highly desirable.
Type Rl41A provides a high-quality composite video signal complete with colour components, suitable for checking calibration and operation of vectorscopes and TV waveform monitors.
The various components which comprise the composite colour video signal can be added or removed f.rom the composite signal by front-panel operational controls on the Type Rl41A. This permits the simulation of v.arious broadcast equipment troubles, such as loss of sync signals, U or V components, etc.
The Type Rl41 A also serves as an excellent teaching aid, since the composite video signal can be "built up", one component at a time. Also, both the familiar staircase and colour bar test signals are available as part of the composite video signal.
Fig. 2-2 illustrates the standard PAL colour bar test signal. This signal is useful for checking luminance, hue and saturation levels.
Luminance is brightness as perceived by the eye. This is represented by the amplitudes of the step levels of the colour bar signal between black and white levels. Since

the eye is more sensitive to green and less to blue light of equal energy, green is a bright colour, blue is a dark colour as conveyed by the luminance signal to monochrome TV receivers. The colour bar steps are therefore arranged in descending luminance order starting with yellow, the brightest colour, and ending with blue, the least bright colour.
Chrominance consists of two additional quantitiesi hue and saturation. Hue is the attribute of colour perception that determines whether the colour is red, blue, green, or other. White, black and gray are not considered hues. In colour TV systems, the hue is encoded as a phase angle of the signal with respect to a reference frequency (burst signal). See Fig. 2-3 (B).
Saturation is the degree to which a colour (or hue) is diluted by white light in order to distinguish between vivid and weak shades of the sa.me hue. For example, vivid red is highly saturated and pink or pastel red has little saturation. One-hundred percent saturation represents full hue with no white dilution. In a vector display, saturation is indicated by the length of the vector. See Fig. 2-3 (A).
The standard modulated staircase test signal is illustrated in Fig. 2-4. The staircase for PAL normally consists of 5 steps (6 levels), each of which is modulated by the subcarrier frequency (4.43 MHz in PAL). The steps are equally spaced between black level and white level. Staircase test signals are useful for checking presence of non-linearity in video stages. Typical tests made with a modulated staircase are differential gain and differential phase.

Differential gain is a change in colour subcarrier amplitude as a function of luminance. In the reproduced colour picture, presence of differential gain will cause distortion of the saturation in the areas between light and dark portions of the screen.
Differential phase is a phase modulation of the chrominance signal by the luminance signal. With differential phase present, colour {hue) will vary with scene brightness in the reproduced colour picture.

V Lever Switch:
Up position turns on the V (90° -270° axis) component of colour bar signal. Down position turns off the V component.
Y Lever Switch:
Up position turns on the luminance component of colour bar. Down position turns off the Y component.
WHITE REF:
Controls white reference level only when AMPLITUDE switch is in the 75%, 0 SETUP position.
100% position sets the white reference at the normal or 100% amplitude level.
75% position sets the white reference at 75% of the amplitude between blanking and normal (100%) white level.
AMPLITUDE:
Three position switch to select the amplitude and setup levels of the colour bar signal.
75%, 0 SETUP position provides colour bars with 75% amplitude, 100% saturation and 0% setup. The white reference level may be either 75% or 100% as selected by the WHITE REF switch. With the white reference at 100%, this position provides the standard EBU test signal.

FIRST-TIME OPERATION
The following procedure demonstrates the use of the controls and connectors of the Type R141A. Use of the Type R141 A with three different display instruments is outlined for the convenience of the user. It is assumed that a video waveform monitor is available. A Vectorscope is essential if phase characteristics of the composite video output are to be observed. An oscilloscope is useful for observing sync, drive and other pulse outputs. It may be used to display all outputs except for phase characteristics. Procedure 1
A Type RM529 Waveform Monitor is used as a display device in the following steps.
1. Check that the line voltage selector plugs are in proper positions for the line voltage to be applied. (See Installation). Connect the Type R141A to the power source and turn on the POWER switch.
2. Connect the COMP VIDEO output on the Type R141A to the A Video Input on the Type RM529 through a 75-ohm coaxial cable. If the other A Video Input connector is

4. The display should be 2 lines of composite video containing standard colour bar test signals.

5. With the Type RM529 Vertical Position control, set the sync tips on the 0 graticule line. White level on the waveform should be at the 100 graticule line; black and blanking levels should be at 30 (this indicates 0% setup level). Burst should be present between the sync pulse and the white luminance step. See Fig. 2-6A.
6. Change the COLOUR BAR U and V switches to down positions. Note that the display is now showing only the luminance (Y) component of the colour bar signal. Return the U and V switches to up positions.
7. Change the COLOUR BAR Y switch to the down position. Note that the display now shows only the chrominance components of the colour bar signal. Return the Y switch to the up position.
8. With the Type RM529 Vertical Position control, move the display down until the blanking level is at the 0 grati-

Note that white level reference is now at 75 on the graticule (representing 75% of amplitude between blanking and normal white level).
Return the WHITE REF switch to the up position (1 00%); set the Type RM529 Volts Full Scale Variable control to the Calib position and set the Vertical Position control so the the sync tips are at the 0 graticule line.
9. Change the AMPLITUDE switch to the 100%, 0 SETUP position. Note that both the luminance and chrominance components of the colour bar signal have increased in amplitude. See Section 1 Specification, TABLE 1-2 for individual bar amplitudes.
10.. Change the AMPLITUDE switch to the 75%, 25% SETUP position. Chrominance amplitudes will be the same as when the AMPLITUDE switch is in the upper (75%, 0 SETUP) position, but luminance levels will be elevated by 175 mY (700 mY X 25%). See Section 1 Specification, TABLE 1-2 for individual bar amplitudes.
Return the AMPLITUDE switch to the 75%, 0 SETUP position.
11. Change the FULL FIELD COLOUR BAR/MODULATED STAIRCASE switch to the 50% APL position.
The display should now be 2 lines of composite video containing standard modulated staircase test signals.
The staircase should contain 5 steps (6 levels), each step being 140 mY in amplitude. The subcarrier modulation (4.43 MHz) on each step should also be 140 mY in amplitude. See Fig. 2-6B.
12. Change the MODULATED STAIRCASE SUBCARRIER MOD switch to the down position. Note that the display now shows only the staircase component of the test signal. Return the SUBCARRIER MOD switch to the up position.
13. Change the MODULATED STAIRCASE STEPS switch to the down position. Note that the display now shows only the chrominance (4.43 MHz modulation) component of the test signal. Return the STEPS switch to the up position.
14. Change the SYNC switch to the down position. Note that the sync component of the composite video waveform is now removed, leaving only the video signal (burst and staircase). Return the SYNC switch to the up position.
15. Change the Type RM529 Display switch to 2 Field and set the Mag switch to X25. Turn the Horizontal Position control until the display is a series of lines containing staircase signals (rather than displaying the vertical sync group). Note that each line has a staircase signal.
16. Change the Type R141A FULL FIELD COLOUR BAR/ MODULATED STAIRCASE switch to VAR APL. Note that every fourth line has a staircase signal and the remaining 3 out of 4 lines has a fixed level for the line duration. Rotate the AVERAGE PICTURE LEVEL control between 12.5 and 87.5. Note that the fixed level of the lines (between staircase signal lines) changes from blanking level to white level in 10% increments. Return the COLOUR BAR/MODULATED STAIRCASE switch to the 50% APL position.
17. Change the Type RM529 Mag switch to X5 and turn the Horizontal Position control to center the vertical sync

pulse on the screen. Note that a staircase test signal appears on one of the lines during the field blanking interval. See Fig. 2-7.
Fig. 2-7. Field blanking interval, including staircase vertical insertion test signal IVITSJ.
18. Rotate the VERTICAL INSERTION TEST SIGNAL LINE control between the 11 /324 and 22/335 positions. The staircase test signal should shift from line to line as the control is rotated. The LINE control indicates which line contains the test signal. Changing the FIELD switch to 1 or 2 causes the test signal to appear only in the field selected.
Procedure 2 A Type 545B Oscilloscope with a Type 1A1 Plug-In Unit
is used as a display device in the following steps. The oscilloscope used must have a bandwidth that is flat
(uniform) in response from DC to approximately 5 MHz. An oscilloscope with a bandwidth of DC to 15 MHz (-3 dB fre-
quency) or greater and a deflection factor of 0.1 Vf em or
better is recommended. If the oscilloscope has insufficient bandwidth, the subcarrier and colour bar chrominance signals will not be displayed with correct amplitude in relation to other signal components.
1. Connect the COMP VIDEO output on the Type R141A to one end of a 75-ohm coaxial cable. Connect a 75-ohm termination to the other end of the cable and then connect the termination to Input 1 on the Type 1A1 Plug-In Unit. Connect another 75-ohm cable from the LINE DRIVE output on the rear of the Type R141A to the Time Base A Trigger Input connector on the Type 545B. See Fig. 2-8.
2. Set the Type R141 A front-panel controls as indicated in Step 3 of Procedure 1.
3. Set the Type 545B and Type 1A1 controls as follows: Type 5458

To start the PAl PUlSE signal coincident with lines at 225· phase, the connections from pins 5 and 7 of U480 are reversed. This is accomplished by physically rotating the positions of R480 and R481 by 90·. The resistors are so placed that the connections will mechanically fit in either position. (See Fig. 2-11 }.
To select 4 V for PAl PUlSE amplitude, R961 and R964 are connected in parallel in the emitter circuit of Q962 (Output Amps board}. Parallel resistance is approximately 2 kO. To select 1 V for output amplitude·, remove R961 (2.67 k}, leaving R964 (7.96 k} in the emitter circuit of Q962. (See Fig. 2-12}.

Selecting LINE DRIVE Start
To select start of the LINE DRIVE Signal to coincide with the start of line sync, R490 is connected from pins 1 and 5 of U490 to pin 2 of U480 and the collector of Q450. The instrument is factory-wired in this manner unless ordered otherwise. To select start of LINE DRIVE to coincide with the start of line blanking, R490 is connected from pins 1 and 5 of U490 to ground. To accomplish this, replace R490 with a one-half watt resistor of the same value (1 0 D). The longer resistor will now reach a board ground connection, which is located directly in line with the normal connection. (See Fig. 2-11).
Selecting FIELD DRIVE Start
To select start of the FIELD DRIVE signal to coincide with the start of the first serrated pulse, pin 2 of U404A is connected through R439 to pin connector AT on the Horiz Drive board. The instrument is factory-wired in this manner unless ordered otherwise. To select start of the FIELD DRIVE signal to coincide with the start of the first equalizing pulse, pin 2 of U404A is connected through R439 to pin connector AX. This is accomplished by replacing R439 with a one-half watt resistor of the same value (1 0 D). The longer resistor will now reach a board connection tying to pin connector AX. (See Fig. 2-11 ).

SECTION 3 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

Type 141A/R141A

Change information, if any, affecting this section will be found at the rear of the manual.

BLOCK DIAGRAM DESCRIPTION
Introduction
This section begins with a functional block diagram description. A complete block diagram (except for the Power Supply circuit) of the Type R141A is provided on a pullout page in Section 8.
Since this instrument uses numerous interconnections between stages to generate the composite video waveform, many of these interconnections must also be shown on the overall block diagram. To facilitate tracing the signal from one block to the next, the block diagram description that follows is keyed to the diagrams illustrated in Figs. 3-1 through 3-4. These illustrations divide the overall block diagram into four portions as follows:
1. Block diagram showing the stages that are required for generating the subcarrier, 12.5 Hz, 25 Hz and 1 MHz output signals.
2. Block diagram that shows the additional blocks required for generating the composite sync and vertical blanking signals.
3. Block diagram showing the additional blocks needed to generate the staircase composite video signal.
4. Block diagram showing the additional blocks required for generating the colour bar composite video signal.
Generating the Subcarrier, 12.5 Hz, 25 Hz and Vertical Blanking Signals {See Fig. 3-1)
The Subcarrier Oscillator is the master oscillator for generating the 4.43361875 MHz subcarrier frequency. This signal is applied to the Level Controlled Output Amplifier. Thi's amplifier serves two main purposes: (1) isolates the oscillator stage and (2) maintains constant output level. Control of the output level is necessary for supplying a constant amplitude signal to the internal circuits of the Type R141 and to the three subcarrier output connectors (J36, J37 and J39) under various load conditions resulting from the number of loads that may be connected to the output connectors.
One circuit driven by the subcarrier signal is the Phasing Type Lower Sideband Generator. The purpose of this circuit is to obtain a lower sideband frequency which is 25Hz below 4.43361875 MHz. This is accomplished by shifting the subcarrier signal by 90° and by shifting the 25Hz offset signal by 90°. (The 25Hz offset signal originates from the Vertical Counter circuit. This offset signal can be turned off, if desired, by placing the SUBCARRIER 25 Hz OFFSET switch to the down position.) Combining these phase-shifted signals with the original reference sig-

nals produces a lower sideband frequency of 4.43359375 MHz. This frequency is exactly 25 Hz below the subcarrier frequency and is applied to the 4.43359375 MHz Amplifier and Filter circuit.
The 4.43359375 Filter removes the harmonic content from the signal. The signal is then applied to the Phase Lock Sampler circuit. This circuit compares the 4.43359375 MHz signal with a subharmonic of the 1 MHz signal originating from the 1 MHz Oscillator via the Horizontal Counter circuit. As a result of this comparison, the error signal is detected by the Amplifier Bandwidth Control and DC Contro.l Loop circuits. These circuits apply the error signal to the 1 MHz Oscillator stage to maintain an exact ratio between the 1 MHz signal and the 4.43359375 MHz lower sideband frequency.
The signal from the 1 MHz Oscillator stage is applied through the 1 MHz Buffer Amplifier circuit to the 1.000 MHz REF FREQ rear panel connector. The 1 MHz signal available at this connector can be compared with a frequency standard as a check on the accuracy of the 4.43361875 MHz subcarrier frequency generated by the Master Oscillator in the Type R141A. The 1 MHz signal in the Type R141A is also applied to the Horizontal Counter. This circuit generates signals at the television horizontal line rate and other harmonically related signals.
Referring to Fig. 3-1, a 3906.25 Hz signal from the Horizontal Counter is applied to the Phase Lock Sampler for use in maintaining a constant relationship between the 4.43361875 MHz Master Oscillator output and the 1 MHz Oscillator output signals. The 0.5 H (31,250 Hz) signal from the Horizontal Counter is applied via the Horizontal Logic circuit to the Vertical Counter. The Vertical Counter circuit provides 25 Hz and 12.5 Hz signals to the following stages: 25 Hz Output Amplifier, 12.5 Hz Output Amplifier,. and the 25 Hz Offset .circuit. The first two stages named provide signals to their respective connectors. The 25 Hz Offset circuit, previously described, is used to obtain the lower sideband subcarrier frequency of 4.43359375 MHz which is harmonically related to 1 MHz.
Generating Composite Sync and Composite Blanking Signals {See Fig. 3-2)
The Horizontal Counter circuit converts the 1 MHz incoming signal into signals which are harmonically related to the television line rate. These signals are applied to the Composite Sync Logic, Horizontal Til1)ing, and Horizontal Logic circuits. One form of the 0.5 H (31,250 Hz) signal is applied from the Horizontal Logic circuit to the Vertical Counter circuit. The integrated circuits in the Vertical Counter circuit divide the incoming signal into timing pulses that drive the Vertical Detail Logic circuit.

Circuit Description-Type 141 A/R141 A
The Vertical Detail Logic circuit, as the name implies, generates the various gates needed for producing the vertical blanking interval synchronizing pulses. Some of the signals (two equalizing gates and a serrated gate) are applied to the Composite Sync Logic circuit. The vertical blanking gate from the Vertical Detail Logic circuit and the horizontal blanking gate from the Horizontal Timing circuit are applied to the Comp Blanking Drive circuit and thence to the Comp Blanking Output Amp to make this signal available at the COMP BLANKING connector (J94) on the rear panel.
Three more input signals are applied to the Composite Sync Logic block (see Fig. 3-2). These are a 0.5 H signal from the Horizontal Timing circuit, the H Sync Start Gate from the Horizontal Counter and a vertical sync reset pulse from the Horizontal Logic circuit. These signals and all the other incoming signals applied to the Composite Sync Logic circuit are combined by the circuit to form the composite sync television signal.
The composite sync signal is applied to the Comp Sync Output Amp for amplification and then to the front- and rear-panel COMP SYNC connectors, J78 and J79, for use as a convenient output signal.

Developing the Variable APL Signal
To develop the variable APL portion of the signal, the COLOUR BAR/MODULATED STAIRCASE switch must be set to the VAR APL position. Then the vertical blanking gate from the Vertical Detail Logic circuit is applied via the switch connections to the APL Timing Logic circuit. Incoming H pulses are combined with the vertical blanking gate to produce the APL timing gate present at the output of the APL Timing Logic circuit. These signals, along with the H blanking pulses, are applied to the APL Amplitude stage. The amplitude of the signal at the output of the APL Amplitude stage is determined by the setting of the APL switch. The variable APL signal is combined with the composite sync signal and applied to the Luminance Driver stage.
Signals consisting of the staircase luminance, APL and composite sync are combined in the Luminance Driver stage. This composite signal is applied to the Narrow Band Filter to minimize any harmonic frequencies that may adversely affect the chroma frequencies. From the Narrow Band Filter the signal is applied to the Luminance Output Amplifier where it is amplified for application to the COMP VIDEO output connectors (J50 and J52).

Generating the Modulated Staircase Composite Video Signal (See Fig. 3-3)
Composite Sync Referring to the lower area of Fig. 3-3 block diagram,
the composite sync portion of the video signal is applied from the Composite Sync Amplitude stage to the Luminance Driver circuit when the SYNC switch is set to the up position. If the switch is set to the down position, the input of the Comp Sync Amplitude stage is grounded, preventing the sync portion of the· composite signal from reaching the Luminance Driver circuit.
Generating the Luminance Steps
In describing the generation of the luminance portion (steps) of the staircase composite video signal, we begin with the COLOUR BAR/MODULATED STAIRCASE switch set to 50% APL and the MODULATED STAIRCASE STEPS switch set to the up position. The 50% APL switch position connects the vertical blanking gate from the Vertical Detail Logic circuit to the Staircase Line Drive stage. The VITS {VERTICAL INSERTION TEST SIGNAL) LINE and FIELD switches set the timing of the VITS gate to occur at the time set by the front-panel controls.
The vertical blanking and VITS gates are combined in the Staircase Line Drive circuit and then these gates are applied via the MODULATED STAIRCASE STEPS switch to the Staircase Luminance Amplitude stage. This stage converts the staircase timing gates from the Staircase Timing Logic circuit into a staircase luminance signal. Internal calibration controls are used to set the level of each step.
3-4

Staircase Modulation
Vertical blanking and VITS gate signals are applied from the Staircase Line Drive stage via the up position of the MODULATED STAIRCASE SUBCARRIER MOD switch to the Staircase Chroma Amplitude stage. A Staircase chroma gate from the Staircase Timing Logic circuit is also applied to the Staircase Chroma Amplitude stage. At the output of this stage, the modulated gate for the staircase is applied to the +U and -U Filters. A burst signal from the Burst Amplitude stage is also coupled to the +U and -U Filters. These signals form the U component signal that is applied to the U Double Balanced Modulator.
The V component is generated in a similar manner and is applied from the + V and - V Filters to the V Double Balanced Modulator. Amplitude of the U modulation is adjusted by means of an internal control located in the Staircase Chroma Amplitude stage. If the COLOUR BAR/ MODULATED STAIRCASE switch is set to the VAR APL position, an offset signal is applied from the APL Offset Chroma circuit to the +V and -V Filters.
Generating Burst
The Burst Logic stage accepts the H burst gate, 0.5 H timing _pulses and Bruch sequence keyout gate to develop the burst gating signal that is applied to the Burst Amplitude circuit. If the BURST BRUCH SEQ switch is set to the down position, the burst signals that are keyed out by the Bruch Sequence will now be keyed in by the equalizing gate. Peak-to-peak amplitude of the burst signal is set by the Burst Amplitude circuit to form part of the U and V components of the signal.
Phasing of the burst signal for PAL mode of operation is accomplished by means of the U-V Quad Phase and 0 o -to-180 o Phase Switcher circuits.
®

Combining the Staircase Chrominance and Luminance Signals
Burst and staircase modulating signals are combined in the +V, -V, +U and -U Filters to form the chrominance signal. This signal is applied from the filters through the U and V Double Balanced Modulators to the Bandpass Filter. This filter has a center frequency response at 4.43 MHz to pass the chrominance signal. The chrominance signal is then applied to the Chroma Output Amplifier for application to the COMP VIDEO connectors, JSO and J52. At the connectors the chrominance signal is combined with the staircase luminance and composite sync components to form the modulated staircase composite video signal.
Note that separate output amplifiers are used: one for chrominance (Chroma Output Amplifier) and one for luminance (Luminance Output Amplifier). Separate amplifiers minimize differential phase and gain.
Generating the Colour Bar Composite Video Signal (See Fig. 3-4)
Composite Sync
This portion of the video signal is generated in the same manner as described in the preceding block diagram descriptions. The composite sync signal is then applied to the Luminance Output Amplifier stage as shown on the right hand portion of Fig. 3-4 block diagram.
Generating the Luminance Portion of the Signal
The colour bar preset signal is applied from the Horizontal Logic stage to the Colour Bar Luminance Counter and Logic circuit and to the --:--4 Counter. Also from the Horizontal Logic stage a colour bar oscillator start signal is applied to the Colour Bar Oscillator Control circuit. This control circuit gates the 625kHz Start/Stop Oscillator off during the interval between the end of the blue chroma colour bar and the start of the peak white bar. Purpose of the oscillator is to develop a signal that can be used as a controllable gate.
The 625-kHz pulses from the Start/Stop Oscillator are applied to the --:--4 Counter to obtain an output frequency of 156kHz. This frequency corresponds to a pulse period of 6.5 f-LS, which is the width of each colour bar segment or step. These pulses are applied to the Colour Bar Chroma Counter & Logic circuit via the Luminance Delay stage.
The 6.5 f-LS pulses are delayed by the Luminance Delay stage to assure proper coincidence of the luminance steps and colour bar chrominance signal. The delayed 6.5-f-LS pulses are applied from the Luminance Delay stage to the Colour Bar Luminance Counter & Logic circuit. This circuit generates the luminance gates for the green, red and blue components of the colour bar signal. The green, red and blue luminance gate signals are applied to the Colour Bar Luminance Amplitude stage. This stage converts the gate signals to the luminance amplitude components of the colour bar signal. The colour bar luminance amplitude signal is then applied to the Wide Band Filter to provide colour bar luminance amplitude steps that extend to the allowable bandwidth of the system.
From the Wide Band Filter, the luminance signal is applied to the Luminance Output Amplifier. Composite sync
®

Circuit Description-Type 141A/R141A
is also applied to the Luminance Output Amplifier. Both of these signals are combined in this amplifier stage for use as an output signal at the COMP VIDEO connectors, JSO and J52.
Generating Burst
Burst is generated in the same manner as described for Fig. 3-3 block diagram. Note that for both block diagrams (Figs. 3-3 and 3-4), the burst flag signal is applied to the Burst Flag Output Amplifier to make these signals available at the BURST FLAG connector J92.
Colour Bar Modulation
The vertical blanking gate is applied from the Vertical Detail Logic circuit, via the COLOUR BAR position of the COLOUR BAR/MODULATED STAIRCASE switch to the Colour Bar Line Drive stage. This signal is applied through the up positions of the U and V COLOUR BAR switches to the Colour Bar Chroma Amplitude circuit.
The 6.5-f-Ls pulses from the --:--4 Counter are connected to the Colour Bar Chroma Counter and Logic circuit for conversion into related green, red and blue chroma gates. These gate signals are then applied to the Colour Bar Chroma Amplitude circuit. In this circuit the green, red and blue gates are combined to generate the colour bar amplitude portion of the chrominance signal. The vertical blanking gate serves to gate off the chrominance during vertical blanking interval.
Combining the Colour Bar Chrominance and Luminance Signals
The colour bar amplitudes and burst amplitude (from Burst Amplitude circuit) signals are combined in the + V, -V, +U and -U Filters to compose the chrominance portion of the composite signal. The chrominance signal is applied from the filters to the U and V Double Balanced Modulators to generate the sidebands required for proper phasing of the colour bars relative to the subcarrier frequency. The colour bar and burst chrominance signals with their U and V components are applied to the Bandpass Filter. As mentioned earlier, this filter has a center frequency response of 4.43 MHz to pass the chrominance signal. This signal is applied to the Chroma Output Amplifier for amplification. At the output of this amplifier, the burst arid colour bar chrominance signals are applied to the COMP VIDEO connectors, JSO and J52, where these signals are combined with the composite sync and colour bar luminance amplitude signals to form the colour bar composite video signal.
INTEGRATED CIRCUITS3
Many of the functions within the Type R141A are performed through the use of integrated circuits in the form of micrologic units. Complexities of the television composite sync waveform require numerous counting and logic functions for development of the signal. Gating of chrominance and luminance signals and generation of the staircase and colour bar luminance signals are also accomplished by means of integrated circuitry.

Knowledge of the internal workings of the various micrologic units is not necessary for an understanding of circuitry in the Type R141 A, since the circuit description is concerned primarily with signal conditions at the input and output terminals of each unit.
Depending on external connections, several different functions may be performed by a single type of micrologic unit.
Rather than describe each unit's operation repeatedly throughout the circuit descriptions, each configuration will be explained here. The information in this portion can serve as reference material when studying the individual circuits.
Figs. 3-5 and 3-7 illustrate the various symbols which are used in this manual to designate micrologic units. A single unit may contain two or more sections which may be used separately. In these cases, one section will be labeled (A) and a second section will be labeled (B).

Micrologic Unit Configurations

Several different functional capabilities are indicated in the various connection arrangements for Type Fp.l 914 m Fig. 3-5.

The basic symbol for this unit is illustrated in Fig. 3-5 (A). Type Fp.l 914 consists of two such units which may be used jointly or as completely separate circuit elements.

Fig. 3-5 (H) shows the symbol used in this manual to indicate that the desired input or output signals are "low". A small circle between the input or output terminal and the connecting lead indicates that the signal causing the desired reaction at that point will be a "low". The absence of a small circle adjoining a connecting lead to a terminal indicates that the proper signal at that point will be a "high".

A "high" indicates a more positive voltage level, while a "low" represents a less positive (or ground) level signal.
In the Type R141A schematics and circuit description, the level-indicating symbols are used in a manner known as POSITIVE LOGIC.

Fig. 3-5 (A) represents an AND .gate, in which both inputs (pins 1 and 2) must be low to yield a high at the output (pin 7). Any other combination of inputs results in a low at the output. Table 3-1 is a truth table which shows the various combinations of signal levels for a two-input AND gate.

pin indicates that the input signal will be a low and the output will be high. The circle at the output terminal, of course, indicates the opposite. The inverter stages are actually one-half of one of the two-input AND gates in a Type Fp.l 914. The input is the base of a transistor and the output is the collector. The emitter is grounded.
A four-input AND gate is shown in Fig. 3-5 (D). The output pins of the two AND gates are connected together. All four input pins must be low to achieve a high at the output terminal (pins 6 and 7).
When the output terminals of two or more separate devices or signal sources are connected together, the junction of their connection forms a "phantom" AND or OR gate. This is indicated by a small AND or OR symbol around the junction. Fig. 3-5 (E) illustrates a phantom AND symbol. This means that all signals must be present at the junction to develop the desired signal.
A two-input Set-Clear Flip-Flop is symbolized in Fig. 3-5 (F1 and F2). A description of a complete cycle of operation follows:
The Set-Clear Flip-Flop has two stable states. In one state, pin 7 will be high and pin 6 will be low. In the other state, the levels are interchanged. To begin the cycle, assume that at first pins 1 and 2 are low. Pin 7, and therefore pin 3, will be high. With either pin 3 or pin 5 high, pin 6 must be low. This is one stable state. To cause a change, a high is coupled to pin 1. Pin 7 must go to low, setting pin 3 to low. Assuming that pin 5 is also low, pin 6 (the output) will change to high. If pin 5 had been high due to a signal, the transition could not have occurred at that time.
3-11

Circuit Description-Type 141A/R141A
Having changed to high on pin 6, the flip-flop will stay in this state until a high appears at pin 5. When this happens, pin 6 goes to low, pin 7 goes to high and the cycle is completed.
In typical operation, the desired output is a positive pulse (high). A high or positive signal at pin 1 starts the positive pulse output at pin 6. Later, a high at pin 5 terminates the positive pulse out. Time between highs at pin 1 and pin 5 determines the pulse width. Fig. 3-6 illustrates normal operation for the Set-Clear Flip-Flop.
A four-input RS Flip-Flop is illustrated in Fig. 3-5 (G1 and G 2). The Burst Keyout Gate (U278) on the Vertical diagram is a good example of this configuration.
This stage consists of two controlled sections, crosscoupled, with one of the sections activated for Fields 1 and 4 and the other section activated for Fields 2 and 3.
At the start of Field 1, pins 1 and 2 are low, pin 7 and therefore pin 5 is high, pin 3 is low and pin 6 (the output) is low. To begin Burst Keyout Gate for Field 1, a high is coupled to pin 1. Pin 7 (and pin 5) goes to low, so pin 6 (and pin 2) goes to high. To end the positive pulse output, a low is coupled to pin 2. The high which started this cycle at pin 1 had already ceased, so pin 1 is low. Pin 7

(and pin 5) goes to high, thus pin 6 must return to low, ending the positive pulse output.
Pins 3 and 5 control the flip-flop in the same manner to generate the positive output pulses for Fields 2 and 3. Field Blanking Details II at the rear of the manual shows the relation of the input and output signals for U278.
Fig. 3-7 (A) shows the basic configuration when using the Type F0L 923 as a triggered divide-by-two counter. To flip, a negative-going transition is required at pin 2. The output pins (5 and 7) exchange polarity each time a negative-going transition arrives at pin 2. For example, the first negativegoing transition at pin 2 may cause pin 5 to go low. The next negative-going transition sets pin 5 to high. Pin 5 will go to low every other trigger into pin 2, resulting in a divide-by-two countdown. When pin 5 is low, pin 7 is high and vice versa, similar to the two sides of a multivibrator.
In Fig. 3-7 (B), pin 6 is shown as an active element. This pin is typically used to preset the flip-flop so that the output pins start with the desired polarity at a certain time. When pin 6 is high, pin 5 will be high and pin 7 will be low. The high at pin 6 overrides any trigger input at pin 2 so that the flip-flop can always be started with the desired polarity. When the high is no longer present at pin 6, the unit can resume triggered operation under control of pin 2.

A gated counter is illustrated in Fig. 3-7 (C). In this configuration, operation is similar to the triggered counter except that the flip-flop is inhibited from changing states during the time that pins 1 and 3 are high. When pins 1 and 3 are low, negative-going transitions at pin 2 will trigger the flip-flop in the normal manner.
In Fig. 3-7 (D), separate controlling signals are coupled into pins 1, 2 and 3. As in the gated counter, if pins 1 and 3 are. both high, pin 2 cannot trigger the flip-flop. If pin 1 is high and pin 3 is low, the next negative-going transition at pin 2 will trigger the flip-flop so that pin 7 is high and pin 5 is low. If the flip-flop is already in that state when the trigger arrives at pin 2, no change will occur. If pin 1 is low and pin 3 is high, the flip-flop will change states with a trigger at pin 2 as necessary to set pin 7 to low and pin 5 to high. Pin 7 output signal has the same polarity as pin 1 input signal and pin 5 output polarity will be the same as pin 3 input polarity.
When both pins 1 and 3 are low, the flip-flop will change states with each negative-going trigger at pin 2.
The preset input, pin 6, may be used in addition to the inputs at pins 1 and 3. A high coupled in to pin 6 will override any signals into pins 1, 2 and 3 and will preset pin 5 to high and pin 7 to low as previously described.
<Y SUBCARRIER OSCILLATOR AND OUTPUT
Subcarrier Oscillator
The Subcarrier Oscillator (Master Oscillator) is a crystal controlled modified Colpitts oscillator with all critical components contained in a constant temperature oven. Close control of oven temperature provides a frequency stability
o· of +3Hz over an ambient temperature range of to
+55·c.
The oscillator consists of Y1 05 and Q1 05, operating Class C. The crystal operates in its parallel resonant mode, with C1 05 acting as part of the electro-mechanical tank circuit of the crystal. C1 05 serves as a frequency adjustment when calibrating the oscillator against an external standard (see Calibration, Section 5).
Level-Controlled Output Amplifier
The output signal from Q1 05, the subcarrier oscillator, is coupled to the emitter of Q115 through Q11 0, which serves as a buffer stage to isolate the oscillator from the driver.
Q115 is a grounded-base driver stage for T121. L118 suppresses any parasitic oscillation. The parallel LC network, C118 and L118 removes the harmonic distortion of the waveform which is caused by Class C operation of the subcarrier oscillator.
Q130 and Q135 are biased Class B to Class C and are alternately driven into conduction by the signal excursions across T121 secondary windings. C122 serves as an AC return path at the center-tap of T121. The collector circuit of Q130 and Q135 is tuned to resonance at the subcarrier frequency by C132.
The secondary windings of T131 supply drive to the front- and rear-panel output connectors and to the internal signal-generating circuits.
T131 secondary is also coupled via C128 to the peak-topeak detector circuit consisting of CR124 and CR125.
During negative peaks, CR124 conducts through Rl24 and
®

Circuit Description-Type 141A/R141A
R126 (-3.2 V divider), thus applying a bias of -3.6 V on C128. CR125 then conducts on positive peaks. Since the AC waveform is 4 V P-P, the voltage at fhe base of Q120 will be 0 V. (The -3.6 V bias on C128 plus the 4 V P-P AC, minus the drop of CR125, 0.4 V, equals 0 V). The emitter of Q120 is set at 0.6 V by CR120, thus setting the base switching point at 0 V.
Q120 is normally biased on by R125. The peak-to-peak detector output diverts the bias current from Q120, thus setting it at the proper point. Q120 has very high gain at the switching point (0 V). C126 lowers the AC impedance of the divider, R124 and R126. C125 filters the detector output.
Since Q120 is connected in series with the base circuits of Q130 and Q135, this sets their base voltages, determining at what point on the AC waveform conduction will commence and thus determining the magnitude of the AC current swing in the collector circuits and T131 primary windings.
If the load on T131 secondary changes due to adding or removing loads on the output connectors, the output amplitude will attempt to change. Suppose, for example, that the output load is increased by adding 75-ohm terminations to the output jacks. The peak amplitude of the signal coupled through C128 will momentarily drop, resulting in less current through CR125 and thus a less positive voltage on the base of Q120. Conduction of Q120 increases and voltage drop across the transistor decreases, setting the bases of Q130 and Q135 at a more positive level. This increases the drive to T131 to compensate for greater loading and returns the output signal amplitude to its original level.
Master Oscillator Oven
Oven temperature is sensed by a bridge network consisting of R142, R143, R144 and R145. R143 and R144 are not sensitive to temperature, while R142 and R145 are nickel resistive elements with a temperature coefficient of
+0.55%rc.
When the oven is cold, R145 is lower in resistance than R143, making the base of Q140B more negative than it is when the bridge is balanced. The collector of Q140B is therefore more positive. This more positive level is coupled to the base of Q150, which is an emitter-follower coupled to the base of Q155, the driver for the heating element (R155). The positive level on the base of Q155 causes heavy c:onduction through the heating element and thus rapid heating of the oven chamber.
As the oven approaches normal temperature, R145 increases in resistance, driving the base of Q140B in a positive direction. This results in a less positive level at the base of Q155, reducing the current through the heating element until a balance is achieved. Normal temperature is about +B5·c.
Oven Temperature Lamp
Normal operating temperature for the oven is indicated by a front-panel lamp which glows when the oven is at the proper temperature. The lamp is extinguished when the oven is either below or above normal temperature.
When the instrument is first turned on and the oven is cold, R142 in the sensing bridge is lower in resistance than Rl44, and the base of Q140A is less negative than when the bridge is balanced. Q140A collector current is greater,
3-13

Circuit Description-Type 141A/R141A
increasing the voltage drop across R161. This sets the voltages in the divider consisting of R161, R162, CR164 and R164 such that Q160 is cut off and CR162 is in conduction through R166. The resulting level at the base of Q165, the lamp driver, holds Q165 in cutoff. DS68, the indicator lamp in the collector circuit of Q165 is therefore off.
At normal temperature, R142 and R144 in the bridge are equal and the base of Q140A is more negative than when the oven was cold. Collector current of Q140A decreases, causing less voltage drop across R161. This biases CR162 cathode to a slightly positive voltage, thus allowing Q165 to go into saturation, turning the indicator lamp on.
If the oven temperature should happen to rise above normal, R142 will increase in resistance, making the base of Q140A more negative than normal. This decreases collector current through R161, causing the junction of R161 and R162 to become more positive. The base of Q160 is now more positive, bringing Q160 into conduction. The drop across R166 causes the base of Q164 to drop, cutting off the collector current through the indicator lamp, which then goes off.
<3> VERTICAL
Circuits on the Vertical board include the Vertical Counter, Vertical Detail logic and VITS logic.
A waveform chart labeled Field Blanking Details II is provided on a pullout page at the rear of the manual to show certain selected waveforms appearing at test points (TP) and pin connectors in proper time-relation. to each other. Interconnecting broken lines between waveforms illustrate the state of controlling signals necessary to cause a desired change at a given test point or pin connector.
The blue dash lines indicate direct cause and effect. The dotted lines indicate the state of signals which are closely related to the actual input signals (such as the opposite output of a flip-flop). Where several interconnecting lines are run together to a point on a waveform, all of the signals at the indicated origin points must be in the state indicated to achieve the illustrated output (at the terminal point of the lines).
Vertical Counter
. The Vertical Counter consists of U212, U214, U216, U218, U220, U222, U224, U226, U228, U229, U230, U246, U250 and U252.
These stages are all Type Fp.l 923 JK Flip-Flop units (except U229) which are described under Integrated Circuits. U229 is a Type Fp.l 900 Buffer unit, also previously described.
The counter derives various timing signals from the 31,250 Hz signal at pin R. The output signal at pin 5 of U229 resets U212, U214, U216, U218, U226 and U228 so that an even harmonic relation exists between line and ·field signals.

Vertical Detail Logic
The Vertical Detail logic includes U215, U217, U219, , U221, U248, U254, U256, U258, U260, U262, U264, U266, 1 U268, U270, U272, U274, U276, U278, U280 and U282.
All stages of the Vertical Detail logic are Type Fp.l 914 micrologic units, connected as buffers, multiple-input gates and flip-flops. Operation of the various configurations is explained under Integrated Circuits.
The logic circuit combines timing signals from the Vertical Counter to generate gating signals for the vertical blanking and sync detail, burst keyout and VITS.

VITS Logic
The VITS logic circuit consists of U240, U242 and U244. U240 and U242 are connected as a seven-input AND gate. U244 is a Set-Clear Flip-Flop. These configurations are discussed under Integrated Circuits.
The VITS LINE and FIELD selector switches are integral parts of the circuit, determining at what line in each field (during the vertical blanking interval) the VITS Gate signal will appear. With the FIELD selector set to BOTH, the VITS Gate signal will occur during all four fields of the PAL system signal.

Phasing Type Lower Sideband Generator, 25Hz 1

Offset Circuit and Filter

1

The lower Sideband Generator consists of T351, modulating driver stages and 90° phase-shifting stages. See Fig. 3-8.

The generator is used to supply a frequency which bears a relationship to the line frequency. The lower sideband generated when modulating 4,433,618.75 Hz with 25Hz is 4,433,593.75 Hz. With the line frequency at 15,625 Hz, the relation is 1135/4. The 25Hz modulating signal is derived from the line rate.

A 25Hz square wave signal from the Vertical Counter circuit drives the 25 Hz Filter, an operational amplifier1 connected as a twin T filter with a Q of about 40. R313 tunes the filter to resonance. Time constants of the filter convert the input square wave to a 25 Hz sine wave with very little harmonic content.

The 25 Hz sine wave is coupled via C319 to the base of Q330, one of the Balanced Modulator stages, and also to another operational amplifier stage consisting of Q320 and Q322. This operational amplifier creates a 90° phase shift with respect to the input while maintaining the clean sinusoidal waveshape. Z; is C317, C318 and R320. C317 and C318 are series-connected with opposing polarities to form a high-capacitance, non-polar coupling capacitor. Zr for the stage is C323. R323 sets the DC bias of the stage. The phase-shifted sine wave output is coupled to the base of Q325.

Circuit Description-Type 141A/R141A
When the front-panel 25 Hz OFFSET switch is placed in the down position, Q308, Q305 and Q306 are forward biased into saturation, effectively eliminating the 25 Hz modulating signal.
The subcarrier signal (4.43 MHz) is coupled to the base of Q345 and also through an LC network which shifts the phase by 90° to the base of Q335. The reference (0° phase) signal from Q345 drives the emitters of Q330 and Q332. Q347 serves as a constant current source for Q345. The 90° phase-shifted signal from Q335 drives the emitters of Q325 and Q326. Q337 is the constant current source for Q335. Q335 and Q345 act as switches, providing a current square wave to their respective modulator pairs.
The 25Hz reference and 90° phase-shifted signals are combined with the 4.43 MHz reference and 90° phaseshifted signals in the primary windings of T351 via the balanced outputs of Q325, Q326, Q330 and Q332. The resulting signal in the secondary of T351 is the lower sideband of the modulated subcarrier signal, or 25 Hz below 4.43361875 MHz (4.43359375 MHz) with the subcarrier suppressed.2
Amplifier and Filter
A high-Q filter network consisting of C353, L354 and C354 removes the harmonic content of the signal. Q355 is an

emitter-follower stage, coupling the signal to the Phase Lock Sampler.
Phase Lock Sampler
The Phose Lock Sampler circuit consists of CR358, CR359, R358, R359, C358, C359 and T385. The circuit compares a modified signal from the subcarrier oscillator with a subharmonic of the 1 MHz oscillator. The resultant output is a DC voltage which is used to adjust the 1 MHz oscillator frequency to an exact ratio with respect to the subcarrier oscillator frequency.
The output signal at the emitter of Q355 is a sine wave at a frequency which is 25 Hz below the normal subcarrier frequency. The signal, coupled through C356, is insufficient in amplitude to turn on CR358 and CR359.
The output at pin 5 of U397 is square waves at a rate of 3906.25 Hz. This frequency, counted down from the 1 MHz oscillator, is a sub-harmonic of the signal appearing at the emitter of Q355. C386 and R386 differentiate the pulses from U397 into narrow spikes. The negative-going spikes turn on CR386 and appear at the emitter of Q385 as negative-going impulses which turn Q385 off rapidly. (Q385 is normally on.) The resulting collapse of the field in T385 primary causes a signal across T385 secondary which is of a polarity and amplitude to turn on CR358 and CR359.

The signal induced in T385 secondary is very short in duration (c::::50 ns), causing CR358 and CR359 to be in conduction for a brief interval during the input cycle from Q355. This, in effect, samples the voltage reached by the input cycle at the instant that the impulse from T385 primary occurs.
If the input cycle from Q355 is passing through 0 volts at the instant of sample, CR358 and CR359 will conduct equally and thus charge C358 and C359 to equal levels.

Circuit Description-Type 141A/Rl41A
These charges serve to hold CR358 and CR359 off during nonsample time. With equal charges on these capacitors, the net voltage at the junction of R358 and R359 will be 0 volts.
If the input cycle is at some positive point when sampled, CR358 will conduct more heavily than CR359, creating a larger charge on C358 than on C359. The unbalance in charges will result in a positive voltage level at the junction of R358 and R359 which is DC coupled through Q360A and Q366 to CR392. CR392 is a voltage-variable capacitor across

the 1 MHz oscillator and so will change the oscillator frequency depending on the applied DC voltage. Fig. 3-9 illustrates the action of the Phase Lock Sampler stage.
DC Control Loop Amplifier
The DC Control Loop Amplifier consists of Q360A Q366/ Q3621 Q3671 Q372/ Q374 and Q360B. This circuit serves as a coupling between the Phase Lock Sampler and the voltage-variable capacitance/ CR392.

A DC error signal is coupled from the junction of R358 and R359 in the Phase Lock Sampler to the gate of Q360A. The signal appears across R360 and the base of Q366. Q366 and Q367 are connected as a comparator with a common constant-current emitter supply/ Q362. Under quiescent conditions/ when the subcarrier oscillator and the 1 MHz oscillator are locked in1 Q366 and Q367 are balanced and bias on each is approximately the same. See Fig. 3-10.
Any DC error signal appearing at the base of Q366 is amplified/ appearing on the collector of Q3661 and is thence

coupled through R391 to CR392. The DC change across CR392 causes a change in capacitance across the 1 MHz crystal1 resulting in a frequency change which is in opposition to the error signal originally occurring in the Phase lock Sampler.
Amplifier Bandwidth Control
The Amplifier Bandwidth Control circuit consists of Q378/ Q3801 CR377 and CR378. The purpose of this circuit is to limit the wideband AC gain of the DC Control loop Amplifier for noise-level signals/ and to increase the AC gain of the amplifier when the oscillator is off frequency. This increase in gain is to help in getting the oscillator to the proper frequency more rapidly.
When the instrument is first turned on and the subcarrier oscillator crystal oven is cold/ the subcarrier frequency is lower than normal and thus the signal to the Phase lock Sampler from the lower Sideband Generator is lower in frequency than normal. Therefore/ a large error signal will appear at the output of the Phase lock Sampler. The signal will be somewhat sinusoidal in shape1 since the point of sample will be different for each sample.
The large AC signal from the sampler will be coupled through Q360A to the base of Q366. The signal on the base of Q366 is emitter-coupled to the emitter of Q367 through R365 and R366. The signal is amplified and appears at the collector of Q367. From this collector/ it is coupled through R370 and C370 to the base of Q380. The amplified AC signal at the collector of Q380 is coupled through C378 to a peak-to-peak detector consisting of CR377 and CR378.
The negative excursions are coupled through CR378 to ground. The positive peaks turn on CR3771 causing current to flow up through R377 and putting a charge on C377 which forward biases the base of Q378. R377 and C377 act as a filter to prevent the AC signal from appearing at Q378 base. Q378 goes into saturation and its collector becomes essentially ground. This virtual ground is coupled via the gate-source of Q360B to the base of Q367. See Fig. 3-11.
With the base of Q367 held at ground/ the signal which was previously coupled to the emitter of Q367 acts to aid the action of the other side of the comparator/ Q3661 thus giving the comparator circuit maximum AC gain.
Q374 provides a constant current for Q360B to prevent loading of Q360B's source. VR370 and Q372 act as a bootstrap to DC couple the signal at Q360B's source to R370.
When the 1 MHz Oscillator is at or very near the proper frequency/ relatively low gain is desired for the comparator circuit to minimize the effects of noise or random signals.
The amplitude of these undesired signals will always be less than the amplitude of the Phase lock Sampler error signal previously discussed. However/ these lower amplitude signals will be coupled through Q367 to the base of Q380 as before. These signals will be amplified by Q380 but will not be large enough to bring Q378 into conduction. R371 is a high impedance, so the signal at Q367's collector is coupled through C371 to the gate of Q360B. The signal thus coupled to the gate of Q360B appears at Q360B source and Q367 base.

Circuit Description-Type 141A/R141A
The signal at the base of Q367 is coupled through VR370 to the base of Q372. R3701 in the collector circuit of Q372 acts as a bootstrap and appears as a much higher value (c::::1 00 kn) than normal. Any noise current through Q367 is then developed across this higher impedance/ offering very little gain for the ~oise signal as seen at the emitter of Q367.
It can be seen1 in following the signal through the circuit1 that the signal at the base of Q367 will be in phase with the signal at the base of Q366. With the bases of both sides of the comparator being driven in phase1 the resultant will be degeneration at the signal frequency. The compartor will therefore attenuate rather than amplify the undesired signal. See Fig. 3-12.
1 MHz Oscillator
The 1 MHz Oscillator/ consisting of Y3921 CR3921 Q390 and Q395 is a modified Colpitts configuration. CR392 is used as a voltage-variable capacitor which alters the oscillator frequency in relation to the voltage applied from the Phase lock Sampler circuit. A positive voltage level at the anode of CR392 increases the capacitance of the diode1 lowering the frequency of the oscillator.
Q395 performs the dual functions of supplying the sustaining feedback to the oscillator circuit and serving as the output driving stage. Biasing is approximately Class B, with the collector output signal being a clipped sine wave.
Q395 collector signal triggers the Horizontal Counter and drives the output stages for the 1.000 MHz REF FREQ output.
1.000 MHz Output Amplifier
The 1.000 MHz Output Amplifier circuit consists of USBOB and U590. These stages are located on the Staircase board. (See Diagram 10).
From the collector of Q395 and terminal T on the Horizontal Colour lock board1 the 1 MHz clipped sine wave signal is coupled to pin 2 on USBOB. USBOB is driven from cutoff to saturation by the input signal and thus has rectangular-shaped pulses as an output. These pulses drive U5901 which is a buffer stage for driving the 1.000 MHz REF FREQ output.
Horizontal Counter
The Horizontal Counter circuitry, consisting of U390 through U3971 generates signals at the horizontal line rate and supplies other harmonically related signals to drive the micrologic units which comprise the Horizontal logic stages. Also1 the output of U397 drives the Phase lock Sampler which maintains a constant relationship between the subcarrier oscillator and the 1 MHz Oscillator. Since the horizontal line rate is derived from the 1 MHz Oscillator/ sync is also time-related to the subcarrier oscillator.
U390 through U397 are Fairchild Type Fp.l 923 JK FlipFlop micrologic units connected as divide-by-two counters. See Integrated Circuits for a description of operation for this configuration.

Circuit Description-Type 141 A/R141 A
With the exceptions of U395 and U396, pin 6 on each of the counters is grounded, corresponding to a low state. Each unit is therefore ready to change states upon receipt of a trigger at pin 2.
The first unit in the counter train (U390) is triggered by the 1 MHz oscillator. The output signal at pin 5 is negative-going pulses at a 500 kHz rate. The output signals of each succeeding unit are at a rate which is one-half the input rate. Fig. 3-13 illustrates the resulting output frequencies from each counter stage.

For U395 and U396, pin 6 on each is momentarily preset
at intervals corresponding to V/2 and Vf 4 respectively,
establishing a fixed relationship between the vertical and horizontal sync signals and consequently the subcarrier signal.
Horizontal Logic
The output signals from U390 through U395 drive the Horizontal Logic stages, U380 through U383. These stages consist of Fairchild Type Fp.L 914 Micrologic Dual Two-input

Gate units. Each of the two-input sections are typically connected as an AND gate, requiring a low signal on both inputs to achieve an output signal which will be a high.
Two or more sections may be connected together to form multiple input gates. Fig. 3-14 is an example of signal conditions when both sections of a dual unit are connected to form a four-input AND gate. See Fig. 3-15 for input/output signals in the Horizontal logic circuit stages.

alternating in polarity at 64 fLS intervals. The preset input at pin 6 assures that the output signals start with the correct polarity at the beginning of every fourth field (once each frame).
If the V AXIS PHASING switch is set at either 90o or
270°, pin 1 or pin 3 is at +3.6 V, locking the flip-flop in one mode. For example, with pin 3 at +3.6 V, pin 5 will be high and pin 7 will be low. This is the condition when the V AXIS PHASING is set to 90°. In the 270° position, .pin 1 is high, pin 5 is low and pin 7 is high.
The output signals appear at pin connectors AQ and AR and are then coupled to the oo -180° Phase Shifter.
Colour Bar Start/Stop Oscillator
Q405, Q410 and Q412 are the active elements in the Colour Bar Start/Stop Oscillator circuitry. The oscillator consists of L404, C404, Q405 and Q41 0, operating at a frequency of approximately 625kHz. L404 adjusts the frequency of the oscillator. Sustaining feedback for the oscillator is via Q41 0 to the base of Q405. CR404 and CR405 in the tank circuit serve to limit the amplitude of oscillation.
Q412 is the output stage of the oscillator circuit. The signal coupled to the emitter of Q412 is of sufficient amplitude to drive Q412 from cutoff to saturation, resulting in a squarepulse output across R416 in the collector circuit. From the collector of Q412, the pulse is coupled to pin 2 of U406.
Colour Bar Oscillator Control
U432 and Q420, the Colour Bar Oscillator Control, gates the oscillator off during the interval between the end of the blue chroma colour bar and the start of the white level bar. Various timing signals combine in U432 to form the gating signal which turns Q420 on and off.
R403/C403, R409 JC409 and R413/C413 are decoupling networks to keep the oscillator signal from appearing on the regulated supply voltages.
+ 4 Counter
The ...;-. 4 Counter, consisting of U406 and U408 is a twostage progression of ...;-. 2 counters. U41 0 A and B are inverter/amplifier stages. Output frequency is approximately 156 kHz, giving a pulse period of 6.5 fLS. This period corresponds to the width of each colour bar segment.
Colour Bar Chroma Counter and Logic
U415A, U424, U426, U428 and U430 are the Colour Bar Chroma Counter and Logic elements. These micrologic units perform the counting and logic functions which convert the oscillator ...;-. 4 signals into related green, red and blue chroma gate signals. Operation of the micrologic units is similar to that previously described under Horizontal Counter and Horizontal Logic. Output from the Colour Bar Chroma Counter and Logic circuit is coupled to the Staircase Timing Logic, Colour Bar Chroma Amplitude and Colour Bar Oscillator Control circuits.
Delay
C418, R418, R419 and Q418 comprise the Delay circuit, which is adjustable to assure coincidence of colour bar chrominance and luminance steps.

The pulse signals at pin 6 of U41 OB (output of the ...;-. 4 Counter) are differentiated in passing through C418, resulting in positive- and negative-going spikes as a signal applied to Q418. R418 (Delay adjustment) varies the RC time constant of the waveform, thus setting the charge time of C418.
Q418 is normally biased at saturation. The negative-going excursions at the base bring Q418 into cutoff. Duration of cutoff is determined by the width of the negative-going spike at cutoff. See Fig. 3-16.

U414, U416 and U420 are triggered by a negative-going excursion. Duration of the pulse from Q418 determines the time at which the negative excursion occurs.
Colour Bar Luminance Counter and Logic
U414, U415B, U416, U418 and U420 are the Colour Bar Luminance Counter and Logic elements. This circuit is similar to the Chroma Counter and Logic circuit, except that luminance gates are generated corresponding to green, red and blue.
U422 provides a luminance setup level which ends at the end of black level to pin connector H. This signal is also coupled via pin connector G to U515 and U517 to provide part of the composite blanking output and as a gate signal to the APL Amplitude and APL Offset Chroma stages.
U423 provides a luminance setup level which ends at the end of the blue colour bar to pin connector K. The desired

setup level duration is selected by connecting the lead going to the Colour Bar Luminance Amplitude circuit (J 7 ) to either pin connector H or K. (See Operating Instructions).
Output from the Colour Bar Luminance Counter and Logic is coupled via pin connectors S, R and T to the Colour Bar Luminance Amplitude circuit.
Horizontal Detail Timing
The Horizontal Detail Timing circuitry consists of U440A, Q440, Q445, Q448, Q450, Q455 and Q460. The circuit provides signals to the Composite Sync Logic circuits to control horizontal sync start and stop and equalizer stop functions. These signals, when combined with other signals coupled into the Composite Sync Logic circuits, form the complete composite sync signal.
A symmetrical square wave at twice the horizontal line rate is coupled through U440A to Q440 and Q445, which are connected as a conventional Miller integrator. C440 and R441 are the integrator timing components. Output of the integrator at the emitter of Q445 appears as a trapezoidal waveform. This signal is applied across resistive dividers in the base circuits of Q450, Q455 and Q460.
Fig. 3-17 illustrates the operation of the horizontal sync start circuit (Q450). Q455 and Q460 operate in a similar manner.
Q448 serves as a temperature compensation for the Miller integrator and Q450, Q455 and Q460.
Composite Sync Logic
Composite Sync Logic functions are performed by U405, U436, U438 and U439. This circuit combines various timing signals to make up the composite sync signal.
The timing signals are combined by means of Type F,uL 914 micrologic units (integrated circuits). Fig. 3-18 shows con-

Circuit Description-Type 141 A/R141 A
nections between micrologic units in the Composite Sync Logic circuit.
Signals which drive the various micrologic units and the resulting output signals are illustrated in Fig. 3-19. The composite sync signal at terminal A is coupled to Q550 to become part of the composite video signal. The signal at terminal A is also coupled to Q556, driving the Sync Out Amp which provides the signal output at the COMP SYNC connectors.
Burst Logic
Burst Logic consists of Q465, Q470, U440, U460 and U470 connected in a manner that provides burst flag and gating signals of proper duration, occuring at the correct time on each line. When the BRUCH SEQ switch is on, the burst flag signals are keyed out at the correct times to provide Bruch-type burst operation. When BRUCH SEQ is off, burst flag signals are generated in accordance with NTSC encoding.
Fig. 3-20 shows the circuits which perform the Burst Logic functions.
U460 is connected as a three-input AND gate which requires a low on all input terminals (pins 1, 2 and 3) simultaneously to obtain an output signal (high). The output signal is differentiated and then coupled to pin 1 on U470. U440B is an inverting amplifier stage, coupling the burst stop signal to pin 5 of U470.
U470 is connected as set-clear flip-flop, controlled by the input signals at pins 1 and 5. Output signals appear at pins 6 and 7.
Control and output signals for Burst Logic are illustrated in Fig. 3-21. Note that during the time that pins 1, 2 and 3 of U460 are all low, an output (high) is present on pins 6 and 7.
When pin 1 on U470 goes to high, pin 6 goes to high. The flip-flop stays in this state until pin 5 goes high, which returns pin 6 to low. The time between these two events

determines width of the burst flag signal. Pin 7 of U470 has the same signal as pin 6, but polarity of the signal is opposite.
Time between burst flag signals is determined by the relationship between the signals at pins 1 and 3 of U460. The state (high or low) of the signal at pin 2 of U460 determines the period during the vertical blanking interval which will be without burst.
The output signal at pin 7 of U470 is coupled to the Burst Amplitude stage and serves to gate the burst signal on and off.
Pin 6 of U470 is coupled to the Burst Flag Output Amp and thence to the BURST FLAG output connector (J92).
STAIRCASE~
APL Timing Logic
The APL Timing Logic circuit consists of U502B, U504 and U506. U504 and U506 are each + 2 counters, triggered by the horizontal rate signal at pin 2 of U506 and preset by the vertical blanking signal at pin 6 on each. There is a changing signal on pin 6 only when the COLOUR BAR/ MODULATED STAIRCASE switch is set to VAR APL. In the other positions, COLOUR BAR and 50% APL, pin 6 is high, holding pin 5 high and pin 7 low.
U502B is a two input gate. Fig. 3-22 is the truth table for U502B, showing input and output signal conditions. VAR APL mode must be selected to obtain a changing output signal. In the COLOUR BAR and 50% APL modes, the output at pin 6 is high.
Staircase Line Drive
U501, U502A, CR505 and Q505 comprise the Staircase Line Drive circuitry. Setting of the COLOUR BAR/MODULATED STAIRCASE switch determines the input signals to this cir-

cuit. A positive pulse with the duration of the vertical blanking interval appears at terminals AD, AE or AA in accordance with selection of COLOUR BAR, 50% APL or VAR APL as the mode.
Assume that the 50% APL mode of operation has been selected for example. Pin 6 of U502B is high (see APL Timing Logic). U502A inverts the high, setting pin 2 of U501 to low. Pin 1 of U501 with no signal present sets high (through R504 to +3.6 V). Pin 7 will therefore be low. (See Fig. 3-22 Truth Table.)
With the front-panel VERTICAL INSERTION TEST SIGNAL FIELD switch set at BOTH, a positive pulse will be present at terminal AC and pin 3 of U501 during the vertical blanking interval, coincident with the line selected by the VERTICAL INSERTION TEST SIGNAL LINE selector switch. (If either FIELD 1 or FIELD 2 is selected, the pulse will be present during every other field at 40 ms intervals.)
Since pin 7, and therefore pin 5, of U501 are low, the output at pin 6 of U501 will be low during the positive pulse on pin 3. At all other times, pin 6 will be high.
A positive pulse coincident with the vertical blanking interval is present at terminal AE and at the cathode of CR505. The junction of pin 6 of U501 and the anode of CR505 function as a "phantom" OR circuit. A high is coupled to the base of Q505 via CR506 and CR507 whenever there is a high at pin 6 of U501 or at the anode of CR505. CR506 and CR507 form a voltage divider with R507 to set the bias on Q505. Q505 is an emitter-follower which couples the signal to pin connector AG. (See Fig. 3-23).
Colour Bar Line Drive
The Colour Bar Line Drive circuit consists of Q501 and CR501. When the front-panel FULL FIELD mode switch is set to COLOUR BAR, a positive pulse coincident with the vertical blanking interval appears at terminal AD and is coupled to the base of Q501 via CR501 to cancel Q501's

offset. By emitter-follower action, Q501 couples the pulse, now with sufficient drive capability, to terminal AF.
APL Offset Chroma
In the VAR APL mode of operation, Q511, Q513 and Q516 develop the APL offset chroma gating signal.

When the front-panel COLOUR BAR/MODULATED STAIRCASE switch is in the VAR APL position, the APL timing logic signal is generated as previously described and appears at the base of Q511.
Simultaneously, a signal at the horizontal blanking rate appears at terminal AJ and thus at the base of Q513. The emitters of Q511 and Q513 are connected together so that a negative signal at both bases switches the tail current from R511 to Q516 and thus to pin connector AK. [See Fig. 3-24(). From pin connector AK, the signal is coupled to the
+V Filter (l661 ).
APL Amplitude
The APL Amplitude circuit consists of Q510, Q512 and Q515. This circuit is very much like the APL Offset Chroma circuit previously described.
The signal from APL Timing logic appears at the base of Q51 0 (only in the VAR APL mode). At the same time, a signal at the horizontal blanking rate appears at the base of Q512. Q51 0 and Q512 emitters are connected together and to the emitter of Q515. R513 and S25 (AVERAGE PICTURE LEVEL switch) form the current long-tail to -15 V.
In the 12.5 position of S25, the emitter circuit is open and no current flows through Q515. In all other positions of S25, the signal current through Q515 is determined by the resistance of R513 and the series resistance (R20 through R28) selected by S25. The resulting signal current flows through R514 to terminal AM and thence to the luminance Driver, Q725.

Composite Blanking Drive
U515 and U580 comprise the Composite Blanking Drive stages. From pin connector 0, the vertical blanking gate is coupled through U580 to pin 5 of U515. The horizontal blanking gate is coupled to pin 3 of U515 from pin connector AJ. U515B is connected as an AND gate, requiring a low path at both pins 3 and 5 to yield a high at pin 6. This high is inverted by U515A and is coupled to pin connector N. From pin connector N, the composite blanking signal is coupled to the Comp Blanking Output Amp and then to rear-panel jack J94 to become the COMP BLANKING output signal.
Staircase Timing Logic
The Staircase Timing logic consists of U508B, U51 0, U512, U514, U520, U522, U524, U526, U528, U530 and U532. This circuit is a series of 2-input gates and flip-flops which generate gating pulses of various widths by use of micrologic units. Operation of the circuit is similar to Composite Sync logic, previously described.

Staircase Luminance Amplitude
Q526, Q528, Q530, Q532, Q536, Q538, Q540, Q542, Q546 and Q548 comprise the Staircase luminance Amplitude stages.
Output waveforms of the Staircase Timing logic (and input waveforms to Staircase luminance Amplitude) are shown in Fig. 3-25. Each waveform drives the base of a switching pair stage in the Staircase luminance Amplitude or Staircase Chroma Amplitude circuits. These circuits are identical in configuration, so the circuit for Step 1 of the staircase (Q530 and Q532) will be described as an example.
The negative gate pulse arriving at the base of Q530 turns Q530 off, diverting the current through Q532. R531 in the emitter circuit sets the magnitude of the current through Q532, thus setting the amplitude of the step.
At a later instant (approximately 6.5 f-tS later), a negative gate pulse arrives at the base of Q536, diverting current through Q538. This current is added to the current from Q532, combining in the common collector circuit. Fig. 3-25

illustrates the additive result of combining the individual step currents. Q725 on the Bar Drive and Video Out board serves as a common stage for combining the currents from each step amplitude stage.
CR525, CR530, CR535, CR540 and CR545 couple a positive level to the respective emitter circuits during the vertical blanking interval except during VITS, disabling the step generators. The negative step currents are coupled through these diodes when the front-panel STEPS switch is off (down}.
Composite Sync Amplitude
Composite sync at terminal AP is coupled to the current switching pair, QSSO and Q552. The signal passes through Q552 and R552 to be combined with the staircase waveform in the common collector circuit. Sync tips occur at points where current output is zero.
When the front-panel SYNC switch is turned off (down}, +3.6 V appears at terminal AN. This diverts the signal current to the +3.6 V supply, removing the composite sync component.
Staircase Chroma Amplitude
Q520 and Q522 operate in the same manner as the Staircase luminance Amplitude stages. A signal for gating on chrominance during the staircase drives the switch pair Q520 and Q522 which deliver the signal current to the U and V Modulator board. R521 sets the magnitude of the current. Fig. 3-25 shows the relationship of the chrominance gating waveform and the staircase waveform. When the front-panel SUBCARRIER MOD switch is turned off (downL +3.6 V is coupled from terminal AH to the anode of CR 521, diverting the signal current through CR521 to the +3.6 V supply.
Composite Sync Output
The composite sync waveform from Composite Sync logic is coupled into terminal AP on the Staircase board. From terminal AP, the positive sync tip signal switches the current through RSSS from Q556 to Q558.
2 MHz Filter
The high output impedance of Q558 serves as a constant current signal source to drive the 2 MHz Filter, l556 and l557. The filter has a sine-squared response and limits the risetime of the sync pulses to prevent ringing in transmission cables. The filter termination is R559 at the emitter of Q560.
Comp Sync Output Amplifier
The Comp Sync Output Amplifier consists of Q560, Q570, Q572, Q574 and Q576 connected as an operational amplifier. Rf for the amplifier is R567. The input current is determined by RSSS.
The signal voltage at the emitter of Q560 will be only a few millivolts in amplitude but the amplifier input signal can be observed at the filter end of R559. Amplitude at this point is approximately 400 mV. Q572 and Q576 are parallelconnected to supply the negative-going drive to the two COMP SYNC outputs. Q574, an NPN, provides current for the positive-going excursions o'f the composite sync signal. R572 and R575 equalize the output currents from Q572 and Q576 emitters.

Circuit Description-Type 141A/R141A
The composite sync signal is coupled from the emitter of Q574 and the emitters of Q572 and Q576 (via R572 and R575} to R578 and R579 and then to the front- and rear-panel COMP SYNC output connectors (J79 and J78 respectively}. Amplitude of the output signal is 4 V P-P when terminated with a 75-ohm external load.
U-V Quad Phase ~
4.43 MHz from the level Controlled Output Amplifier is coupled to pin connector N on the U and V Modulator board. From pin connector N, the subcarrier signal (4.43 MHz} is connected to the primary of T601 and to l646, the U-V Quad Phase adjustment.
l646, C646 and C647 shift the phase of the subcarrier signal by 90°. The phase-shifted signal is then coupled to the primary of T651 via C648.
0°-180° Phase Shifter
At pin connectors R and P and the bases of Q640 and Q642, the polarity of the signal from the Phase Alternate line (PAL} circuit alternates as previously described.
With the V AXIS PHASING switch set at 90 ° /270 °, the signals at the bases of Q640 and Q642 will change polarity each horizontal line. Therefore, during one line Q640 will conduct and during the next line Q642 will conduct. When Q640 is conducting, Q642 is in cutoff and the collector of Q642 is positive. This positive potential appears at the base of Q646, bringing Q646 into saturation. When the PAL signal alternates, Q646 is turned off and Q644 goes into saturation. Polarity of the signal across T641 will, therefore, alternate each line.
Since l646 has shifted the phase of the subcarrier signal applied to T651 by 90°, when the 0°-180° phase shifter alternates the primary of T651 between 0° and 180°, the total phase difference between the signal across T601 and across T651 is alternately 90° and 270° (0° + 90° and 180° +90°}. The secondary of T651 drives the V modulator, while the U modulator is driven by the secondary of T601. The V signal is therefore alternately phase-shifted 90° and 270° from the U signal.
+ + U and - U Filters, V and - V Filters (Low-
Pass Filter}
l611, C611 and C612 comprise the +U Filter. The -U Filter consists of l621, C621 and C622.
Bandwidth of each filter is approximately 2 MHz, preventing the U components from exceeding the 4.43 MHz modulated frequency. The +V Filter (l661} and the -V Filter (l671} are identical in operation to the +U and -U filters.
The blue component of the colour bar signal appears at pin connector H, becoming the +U signal. At pin connector I, the green, red and U burst components form the -U signal. In the 50% APL and VAR APL positions of the COLOUR BAR/MODULATED STAIRCASE switch, the staircase chrominance signal is coupled to pin connector J to become part of the -U signal.
The + V signal consists of the red and V burst components appearing at pin connector B. Staircase offset chrominance is coupled to pin connector C when the COLOUR BAR/MODULATED STAIRCASE switch is set at VAR APL Blue and green components at pin connector E form the -V signal.

Circuit Description-Type 141A/R141A
U and V Double Balanced Modulators
Except for the phase-shifting of the V axis with respect to the U axis, the two modulators are identical in operation. A description of the U modulator will be given as an example.
The U modulator circuit consists of 0605, 0606, 0607, 0608, 0610, 0620, 0630, 0635A and 0635B.
The modulator stage, 0605, 0606, 0607 and 0608 is connected in a double-balanced configuration. This type of modulator cancels out the modulated carrier and the modulating signal, retaining the sidebands.
The subcarrier signal (4.43 MHz) across the secondary of T601 drives the bases of 0605, 0606, 0607 and 0608. 0635A and 0635B provide a differential signal current depending on the drive conditions. For example, if a + phase signal is required, a negative signal current is delivered through the +U Filter and its terminating grounded base stage (061 0) to the 1 kn equivalent load of R618. This develops a negative voltage at 0635A base, decreasing its collector current while increasing 0635B's collector current, since a constant current is delivered to both 0635 emitters by 0630.
0605 and 0607 will switch the current from 0635A alternately from one end of T691 to the other at a 4.43 MHz rate, thus developing a 4.43 MHz square wave across the reflected load of R692.
0606 and 0608 switch the current from 0635B alternately from one end of T691 to the other also, but 180 · out of phase with the current delivered by 0635A. Thus, if the currents from 0635A and 0635B are equal, the current square waves in T691 will cancel. If 0635B delivers a greater current than 0635A, the signal developed across T691 will be proportional to the current difference and positive in polarity.
R625 and C628 balance the plus and minus U driver stages to minimize any residual subcarrier component. These are adjusted for minimum chrominance output when U and V are turned off (see Performance Check/Calibration Section).
Bandpass Filter
The modulated output appears across T691 and is coupled through the Bandpass Filter, l691 and l693, to pin connector G. From pin connector G, the chrominance signal is coupled to the Chroma Output Amplifier.
The Bandpass Filter has an arithmetically symmetrical response with a center frequency of 4.43 MHz. Bandpass of the filter is approximately 2 MHz.
This bandwidth in conjunction with the 2 MHz U and V filters provides a chrominance bandwidth of approximately -+-1.5 MHz.
0 Colour Bar Luminance Amplitude
Colour Bar luminance Amplitude stages include 0701 through 0710, 0712, 0714, 0715 and 0720. In this circuit, red, green and blue luminance levels, white reference and setup levels are adjusted and their outputs are combined at the emitter of 0715.
The red, green and blue amplitude-setting stages, white reference and setup level stages are all similar in operation,
3-34

so a description of the green amplitude-setting stage will serve as an example.
Green luminance signals of negative polarity are coupled from terminal l to the base of 0708. The negative polarity turns 0708 off, diverting the current through 0710. Amplitude of the current is adjusted by R709. When the frontpanel Y switch is set to off (down), +3.6 V is applied to the anode of CR708, diverting the signal current to the +3.6 V supply. A positive level is also applied to the anode of CR708 during the vertical blanking interval except during VITS.
To develop the white reference signal, the blue, red and green luminance signals are also coupled to the bases of 0703, 0705 and 0709 respectively. These signals are combined in the common emitter circuitry consisting of R703 and R706.. R706 adjusts the current to the proper white reference amplitude. This signal current is coupled through 0707. Currents from the red, green and blue amplitude stages and the white reference stage are coupled together through R714 to the emitter of 0715.
AMPLITUDE Switch
With the AMPLITUDE switch S750 set to 75%, 0 SETUP, the emitters of the red, blue and green and white reference amplitude stages are returned to -11.25 V. The emitter circuit of the setup amplitude stage (0712) is open, so that setup is zero.
With the AMPLITUDE switch set to 100%, 0 SETUP, the emitters of the red, blue and green and white reference amplitude stages are returned to -15 V, increasing the luminance amplitudes to 100%. The emitter circuit of the setup amplitude stage is open, as before, resulting in zero setup.
When the AMPLITUDE switch is set to 75%, 25% SETUP, the emitters of the red, blue, green and white reference stages are returned to -11.25 V as before, and the emitter of the setup amplitude stage is now also returned to -11.25 V. The setup gate at pin connector J is coupled through 0712 and 0714 to combine with red, blue, green and white reference amplitudes.
Luminance Driver and Narrow Band Filter
Composite sync and staircase steps at terminals H are coupled through 0725, a grounded-base stage. This prevents collector voltage changes with signal on the current switches. Output impedance of 0725 is high, serving as a constant-current signal source to drive the Narrow Band Filter, l725 and l726. Termination for the filter is R727. This filter minimizes step harmonics in the chrominance band.
Wide Band Filter
The colour bar luminance levels are coupled through 0715 to the Wide Band Filter, l715 and l716. Except for the response of the filter, this circuit is very similar to that described for 0725. Response of the wide band filter has been selected to provide colour bar luminance steps extending to the allowable system bandwidth.
0720, in the base circuits of 0715 and 0725, "serves as a temperature compensation and sets the base potential on 0715 and 0725.
R730, lum DC level, provides a -+-DC current at the input
®!

to the Luminance Output Amplifier, thus determining the output DC level.
Output signals from the two filters are combined at the input to the Luminance Output Amplifier.
Luminance Output Amplifier
The Luminance Output Amplifier, consisting of 0735, 0740, 0745 and 0748, is connected as an operational amplifier. Characteristically, the input impedance is very low and the signal voltage at the emitter of 0735 will be only a few millivolts in amplitude. Signal drive into an operational amplifier is normally current rather than voltage.
Rt for the amplifier consists of R746 and R747. Adjustment of R747 sets the gain of the stage, providing a calibrated luminance amplitude at the output connector.
0745 sets the emitter voltage of 0740 and acts as a temperature compensation. CR735 in the base circuit of 0735 is also a temperature compensation.
The amplified luminance signal is coupled through R748 and R749 to the rear- and front-panel COMP VIDEO connectors respectively.
Chroma Output Amplifier
The Chroma Output Amplifier, 0755, 0760, 0765 and 0768, is an operational amplifier. The circuit is very similar to the Luminance Output Amplifier previously described.
The chrominance signal at terminal AH is coupled to the emitter of 0755 through R754, which serves as R; for the amplifier. Rt consists of R766 and R767. Adjustment of R767 sets the gain of the stage to provide a calibrated chrominance amplitude at the output connector.
0765 and CR757 are temperature compensations. The amplified chromina.nce signal is coupled through R768 and R769 to the rear- and front-panel COMP VIDEO output connectors respectively.
Luminance and chrominance signals are combined into a composite signal at the output connectors. The parallel combinations R748/R768 and R749/R769 each provide an output impedance of 75 ohms at each respective connector.
Separate output amplifiers for luminance and chrominance are used in order to minimize distortions such as differential phase. If a common output amplifier were used, changes in the luminance signal could cause changes in the instantaneous operating level of the amplifier stages, introducing phase distortion to the chrominance signal.
<ij> Colour Bar Chroma Amplitude
0771 through 0776 and 0781 through 0786 comprise the Colour Bar Chroma Amplitude circuit. In this circuit, the amplitudes of the red, green and blue components of the +U, -U, +V and -V signals are adjusted to industry standards.
The circuit consists of 6 similar stages. Each of the three colours has an individual switching stage for the U component and a stage for the V component.
Since the stages are all similar, the blue amplitude-setting stage for the +U signal will be described as an example.
®!

Circuit De·scription-Type 141 A/R141 A
From the Colour Bar Chroma Count and Logic circuit, the blue chrominance signal is coupled to terminal N on the Bar Drive and Video Out board. The signal is then coupled from terminal N to the base of 0771. The signal at the base is of negative polarity, driving 0771 into cutoff during each pulse. The current that had been flowing through 0771 is now diverted to flow through 0772, R771 and R772. R772 is adjustable, permitting calibration of the +U signal magnitude. The signal is coupled through R779 to terminal S.
When the front-panel AMPLITUDE switch S750 is set to either 75%, 0 SETUP or 75%, 25% SETUP, the divider consisting of R771 and R772 is returned to -11.25 V. When the AMPLITUDE switch is set to 100%, 0 SETUP, the divider is returned to -15 V, thus increasing the current through 0772 and therefore increasing the magnitude of the blue + U signal.
R770 and C770 introduce a signal delay to permit timecoincidence adjustment of the +U signal to the -U signal.
CR771 couples a positive pulse {from terminal Y} to the emitters of 0771 and 0772 during the vertical blanking interval, diverting the signal current from 0772. When the front-panel COLOUR BAR U switch is set to off {down}, +3.6 V is applied through terminal Y to the anode of CR771, again diverting the signal current.
From terminal N, the blue chroma signal is also coupled to the base of 0781 and through a circuit similar to that just described to form part of the -V signal.
Burst Amplitude
The Burst Amplitude circuit consists of 0790, 0792, 0794 and 0796. This circuit contains two separate stages which are very similar to the Colour Bar Chroma Amplitude stages previously described.
The burst gating signal appears at terminal 0 and the bases of 0790 and 0794. The gating pulse is negative, so during the pulse, the current that had been flowing through 0790 and 0794 is diverted through 0792 and 0796 respectively. R792 sets the magnitude of the signal current through 0792 and R796 sets the signal current through 0796. The current from 0792 is coupled to terminal R through R778 to become part of the -U signal. From the collector of 0796, the signal current is coupled through R789 to terminal U, forming part of the +V signal.
The front-panel BURST U switch applies +3.6 V to terminal X when it is turned off (down}. This voltage is coupled to the anode of CR791, diverting the signal current to the +3.6 V supply. CR795 performs the same function for the BURST V signal.
LOW VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLY 9
The Low Voltage Power Supply circuit provides the operating power for the Type R141A from three regulated supplies: -15 volts, +3.6 volts and + 10 volts. Electronic regulation is used to provide stable, low ripple output voltages. All the supplies are current limited to prevent instrument damage in the event that a supply is inadvertently shorted to ground. The primary circuit of the transformer employs voltage and range selector plugs to permit selection of the line voltage operating range.
3-35

Circuit Description-Type 141A/R141A
Power Input
Power is applied to the primary winding of transfor~er Tl via the RF1 Filter Fll, the POWER switch 54, 115 volt lme fuse F2, Voltage Selector plug 53 and the Range Select~r plug 52. The Voltage Selector plug 53 connects the ~pht primaries of T1 in parallel for 115 volt range of operat1o~, or in series for 230 volt range. A second line fuse, F3, IS connected into the circuit when the Voltage Selector plug is placed in the 230 volt position to provide the c~rrect protection for 230 volt operation. The current ratmg of F3 is one half of F2.
The Range Selector plug 52 allows the instrume~t to regulate properly on higher or lower than normal lme voltages. Each half of the primary has taps above and belo':"' the 115 volt (230 V) point. As the Range Selector plug IS moved from LO to M and then to HI, more tu.rns are added to the primary winding. Therefore, whether the primary voltage has increased or decreased, the secondary voltage
can be maintained at a nearly constant level (Es = Ep X
Ns/Np).
The RFI Filter Fll serves to prevent external RF interference from appearing across T1 and also prevents signals generated within the Type R141A from being introduced onto the AC line.
-15 Volt Supply
The -15 volt supply provides the reference voltage for the +3.6 volt and + 10 volt supplies (see Fig. 3-26). The reference for the -15 volt supply is a 9.1 volt zener VR870.
The output from the secondary winding (terminals U and W) of T1 is rectified by a full-wave rectifier consisting of CR861 and CR862. The rectified voltage is filtered by C61 and applied through a -15 Volt Series Regulator stage Q85 before being supplied to the load. Series Regulator Q85 and its Driver E.F. (Emitter Follower) Q880 are controlled by a Voltage Comparator consisting of Q875 and Q876 with associated components.
The base of Q875 in the Voltage Comparator stage is referenced by a 9.1-volt temperature-compensated zener diode, VR870. The voltage on the base of Q876 is determined by a divider network consisting of R885, -15 Volts control R886 and resistor R887. Variable resistor R886 adjusts the base voltage of Q876 so the output voltage of this supply is -15 volts within a tolerance of 3%. The collector current of Q875 is applied to Driver circuit Q880; this circuit controls Q85, connected as a series regulator.
Assume that the -15 volt supply tends to go in the positive direction (toward -14 volts). This positive-going voltage change is applied to the base of Q876, increasing the current through Q876. The increased current through Q876 decreases the conduction of Q875 and causes the voltage change at the collector of Q875 to be positive-going. This positive-going voltage change is applied to the base of Q880, causing the current through Q880 to increase. The increased current through Q880 causes a positive-going voltage change to occur at its emitter, and this change is applied to the base of Q85. Transistor Q85 increases its conduction. This increased conduction through Q85 effectively decreases its internal resistance and voltage drop, thus increasing the available voltage to the -15 volt supply to offset the original tendency for the supply to go toward -14 volts. Filter ca-

pacitor C885 suppresses sudden load changes that fall outside the bandwidth of the regulator circuit.
Network R880 and C880 suppresses any tendency for the Voltage Comparator stage to oscillate. C871 filters out any noise generated by VR870.
Q860 with associated components is an overload protection circuit. This transistor is normally cut off. However, if the -15 volt supply load current is excessive, current through R861 forward biases Q860. The collector current from Q860 flows through R816 (in the + 10 volt supply) and causes the base of Q830 to go in the negative direction. The emitter of Q830 follows the base, pulling the base of Q35 down and shutting down the + 10 volt supply.
The negative-going voltage change at the emitter of Q830 also appears across R831 and is coupled through R875 and C875 to the base of Q880. The emitter of Q880 follows this change, pulling down the base of Q85 which shuts down the -15 volt supply.
Notice, from this description, that an overload on the -15 volt supply causes both the + 10 volt and -15 volt supplies to shut down.

+3.6 Volt Supply

Full wave rectification for the +3.6 volt supply is provided by CR841 and CR842. The rectified voltage is filtered by C42 and applied to the +3.6 Volt Series Regulator stage Q55 before being applied to the load.

The error sensing divider resistors for the +3.6 volt sup-

ply are R855, +3.6 VOLTS control R856, and resistor. ~857. (

The -15 volt supply is used as the reference for the d1v1der.

ference between these two supplies.

Q845 and Q846 form a comparator circuit with the base of Q845 referenced at ground. When the +3.6 volt and -15 volt supplies are at the proper voltages, the base of Q846 is also at 0 volts. If either supply voltage changes, the comparator (Q845 and Q846) is unbalanced, resulting in an error signal at the base of Q850.

Since Q850 is an emitter follower, the polarity of the error signal is the same at the emitter of Q850 and the base of Q55. The error signal, applied to the base of Q55, is used to control the emitter-to-collector drop across Q55. In this way the output voltage is maintained at its rated value.

For example, if the +3.6 volt supply attempts to rise, the difference voltage across the error sensing divider resistors tends to increase and a fraction of this increase is applied as a positive-going error signal to the base of Q846. At the collector of Q846, the error signal is negative-going and this signal is applied to the base of Q850. The signal is also negative-going at the emitter of Q850, and this signal is applied to the base of Q55. The negative-going signal decreases the current through Q55 and thus increases the voltage drop across Q55 to offset the original tendency for the output voltage to increase.

Variable resistor R856 is the +3.6 VOLTS control to set the output of the supply at +3.6 volts within a tolerance of 3%. Q845 provides temperature compensation for Q846

and clamps the emitter of Q846 at about -0.6 volt. Q840 provides overload protection for the +3.6 volt supply. 0840 is normally in cutoff. If the load current for the supply becomes excessive, Q840 becomes forward biased and a negative-going signal occurs at its collector. This negative-going signal increases the internal resistance of 055 to limit the current available at the output of the +3.6 volt supply.
Network R850 and C850 prevents the +3.6 volt regulator circuit from oscillating. Operating voltage for the POWER light DS42 is obtained from the connections across one half of T1 secondary winding at pins D and E on the Power Supply circuit board.
+ 10 Volt Supply
The + 10 Volt Supply is similar to the +3.6 Volt Supply. Rectified voltage for the + 10 volt supply is provided by the full-wave bridge rectifier consisting of CR811, CR812, CR813 and CR814. The rectified voltage is filtered by Cll and applied to Series Regulator Q35.
The error sensing divider resistors are R835, + 10 VOLTS control R836 and resistor R837. The Error Amplifier stage consists of Q825 and Q826 connected as a comparator. The base of Q825 is at ground, and, with the + 10 volt and the -15 volt supplies at the proper voltages, the base of Q826 will be at 0 volts.
Any change in the + 10 volt output will appear at the base of Q826 and will thus be coupled to the base of Q830 as an error signal. This error signal will be coupled to the base of Q35, opposing any tendency for the supply voltage to change.
Q815 serves as a constant current source for Q826. Q81 0 provides overload protection for the + 10 volt supply. If the + 10 volt supply load current is excessive, current through R811 forward biases Q81 0, which shuts down the + 10 volt and the -15 volt supplies in the same manner as described for Q860 in the -15 volt supply.
BUFFER AMPLIFIERS AND SWITCHING ~
Diagram 10 shows front-panel control lead connections.

Buffer amplifiers for driving several of the output connectors are also shown on this diagram. Circuit descriptions for the switches and buffer amplifiers have been previously covered along with the associated circuitry.
<D> OUTPUT AMPLIFIERS
The Output Amps board contains the output amplifiers for the FIELD DRIVE, PAL PULSE, COMP BLANKING, LINE DRIVE and BURST FLAG signals available at front- and rearpanel connectors.
These five amplifiers are all nearly identical in operation to the Comp Sync Output Amp previously described.
A description of the Field Drive Output Amp follows. This description may be used to gain an understanding of the operation of the other four amplifiers.
Field Drive Output Amp
The Field Drive Output Amp consists of Q980, Q982, Q990, Q992, Q994, Q996 and Q998.
The field drive signal from the Field Drive Logic circuit is coupled to pin connector AE, and through R982 to the base of Q982. At pin connector AE, the field drive signal is positive in polarity with an excursion from approximately 0 V to +2V.
Q980 and Q982 operate as a switch pair. The positive signal at the base of Q982 drives Q982 into cutoff, diverting the current flowing in R981 through Q980.
The relatively high output impedance of Q980 serves as a constant current source to drive the filter, L984 and L985. The filter limits the risetime of the field drive signal to prevent ringing in transmission cables.
Q990, Q992, Q994, Q996 and Q998 form .an operational amplifier. R990 is the feedback resistance. The input current is determined by R981. Q996 and Q998 are parallel-connected to supply the negative-going drive to the two FIELD DRIVE outputs. Q994, an NPN, provides current for the positive-going excursions whenever the amplifier is heavily loaded.
Q964 is common to all five output amplifiers, supplying temperature-compensated base bias for Q900, Q920, Q940, Q960 and 0980.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

STAIRCASE switch. For smooth action, place lubricant on the toggle end of the switch that moves the contacts.

General

Preventive maintenance consists of cleaning, visual inspection and lubrication. Preventive maintenance performed on a regular basis may prevent instrument breakdown and will improve the reliability of this instrument. The severity of the environment to which the Type R141A is subjected determines the frequency of maintenance.
Cleaning
General. The Type R141 A should be cleaned as often as operating conditions require. Accumulation of dirt in the instrument can cause overheating and component breakdown. Dirt on components acts as an insulating blanket that prevents efficient heat dissipation. It also provides an electrical conduction path.
CAUTION
Avoid the use of chemical cleaning agents which might damage the plastics used in this instrument. Avoid chemicals which contain benzene, toluene, xylene, acetone or similar solvents.
Exterior. Loose dust accumulated on the outside of the Type R141A can be removed with a soft cloth or small paint brush. The paint brush is particularly useful for dislodging dirt on and around the front-panel controls. Dirt which remains can be removed with a soft cloth dampened in a solution of water and mild detergent. Abrasive cleaners should not be used.
Interior. Dust in the interior of the instrument should be removed occasionally due to its electrical conductivity under high-humidity conditions. The best way to clean the interior is to blow off the accumulated dust with dry, low-velocity air. Remove any dirt which remains with a soft paint brush or a cloth dampened with a mild detergent and water solution. A cotton-tipped applicator is useful for cleaning in narrow spaces.

Visual Inspection
The Type R141 A should be inspected occasionally for such defects as broken connections, loose or disconnected pin connectors, improperly seated solid-state devices, damaged circuit boards and heat-damaged components.
The corrective procedure for most defects is obvious; however, particular care must be taken if heat-damaged components are found. Overheating usually indicates other trouble in the instrument; therefore, it is important that the cause of overheating be corrected to prevent recurrence of the damage.
Transistor and Integrated Circuit Checks
Periodic checks of the transistors and integrated circuits (ICs) used in the Type R141 A are not recommended. The best indication of performance is the actual operation of the component in the circuit. Performance of the circuit is thoroughly checked during recalibration; substandard transistors and integrated circuits will usually be detected at that time_
Recalibration
To insure correct and accurate instrument operation, the instrument calibration should be checked each 1000 hours of operation or at least every 6 months. Performance Check and Calibration procedures are given in Section 5.
The calibration procedure can be helpful in isolating major troubles in the instrument. In some cases, minor troubles not apparent during normal operation may be revealed and ·COrrected during calibration.
CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE

Lubrication
The reliability of switches and other moving parts can be maintained if they are kept properly lubricated. Use a clean-

Maintenance-Type 141 A/ R141 A
Obtaining Replacement Parts
Standard Parts. All electrical and mechanical replacement parts for the Type R141A can be obtained through your local Tektronix Field Office or representative. However, many of the standard electronic components can be obtained locally in less time than is required to order them from Tektronix, Inc. Before purchasing or ordering replacement parts, consult the Parts List for value, tolerance and rating.
NOTE
When selecting replacement parts, it is important to remember that the physical size and shape of a component may affect its performance at high frequencies. All replacement parts should be direct replacements unless it is known that a different component will not adversely affect instrument performance.
Special Parts. In addition to the standard electronic components, some special parts are manufactured or selected by Tektronix, Inc. to meet specific performance requirements, or are manufactured specifically for Tektronix, Inc. These special parts are indicated in the Parts List by an asterisk preceding the part number. Most of the mechanical parts used in this instrument have been manufactured by Tektronix Inc. Order all special parts directly from your Tektronix Field Office or representative.
Ordering Parts. When ordering replacement parts from Tektronix, include the following information:
1. Instrument type.
2. Instrument serial number.
3. A description of the part (if electrical, include circuit number).
4. Tektronix Part Number.

can be cleaned by reheating the solder and placing a sharp object such as a toothpick into the hole to clean it out. A vacuum-type de-soldering tool can also be used for this purpose. If the removal is not accomplished in the first few seconds of heat application, go to another connection or wait a few minutes before reheating the connection. This is to avoid transferring too much heat to the circuit board base material.
3. Bend the leads of the new component to fit the holes in the board. If the component is replaced while the board is mounted in the instrument, cut the leads so they will just protrude through the board. Insert the leads into the holes in the board so the component is firmly seated against the board (or as positioned originalfy). If it does not seat properly, heat the solder and gently press the component into place.
4. Touch the iron to the connection and apply a small amount of solder to make a firm solder joint; do not apply too much solder. To protect heat-sensitive components, hold the lead between the component body and the solder joint with a pair of long-nose pliers (see Fig. 4-1) or" other heat sink.

Soldering Techniques
WARNING
Disconnect the instrument from the power source before soldering.
Circuit boards. Use ordinary 60/40 solder and a 25 to 40 watt pencil type soldering iron on the circuit boards. A higher wattage soldering iron may separate the etched wiring from the base material.
The tip should be made of copper and have a chisel or
beveled shape, with a 1fa inch width. The tip of the iron
should be clean and properly tinned for best heat transfer to the solder joint.
The following technique should be used to replace a component on a circuit board:
1. Grip the component lead with long-nose pliers. Touch the soldering iron to the lead at the solder connection. Do not lay the iron directly on the board.
2. When the solder begins to melt, pull the lead out gently. This should leave a clean hole in the board. If not, the hole
4-2

Fig. 4-1. Use of a heat sink to protect components during soldering.
5. Clean the area around the solder connection with a flux-remover solvent. Be careful not to remove information printed on the board.
Metal Terminals. When soldering to metal terminals (e.g., switch terminals, potentiometers, etc.), ordinary 60/40 solder can be used. Use a soldering iron with a 40- to 75-watt rating and 3/ 16 inch wide wedge-shaped tip.
Observe the following precautions when soldering to metal terminals:
1. Apply only enough heat to make the solder flow freely. 2. Apply only enough solder to form a solid connection. Excess solder may impair the function of the part. 3. If a wire extends beyond the solder joint, clip off the excess. 4. Clean the flux from the solder joint with a flux-remover solvent.

Component Replacement
WARNING
Disconnect the instrument from the power source before replacing components.
Circuit Boards. If the circuit board is damaged beyond repair, replacement can be made of the entire assembly including all soldered-on components, or of the board alone. Part numbers are given in the Mechanical Parts List for either the completely wired or the unwired board. The following procedure outlines the removal and replacement of the boards.
Removal:
1. Check the colour code of the wires in the instrument against the appropriate illustration given in this section of the manual (see Fig. 4-6 through 4-15). Note any differences so that when the board is replaced, the wires can be reconnected to their original pins.
2. Disconnect all the wires from the pin connectors on the board.
3. Remove board hold-down screws (Subcarrier Output Amp and Power Supply and Output Amp boards only). Unsnap one edge of the board from the plastic mounting clips.
4. Remove the board.
Circuit Board Replacement:
1. Insert one edge of the circuit board so that the board notches fit into the plastic mounting clips.
2. Snap the board into place and check that the board is firmly mounted in the plastic clips.
3. Reconnect all wires to their respective pin connectors on the board.
Transistor and Integrated Circuit Replacement. Transistors and integrated circuits (ICs) should not be replaced unless they are actually defective. Replacement or exchange of components may affect the calibration of the instrument. If a transistor or integrated circuit is removed during routine maintenance, return it to its original socket.
Any replacement component should be of the original type or a direct replacement. Bend the leads to fit the socket and cut the leads to the same length as on the component being replaced. Use Fig. 4-2 as a reference for insertion.
The chassis-mounted power supply transistors and their mounting bolts are insulated from the chassis. In addition, silicone grease is used to increase heat transfer cap0 bilities. Re-install the insulators and replace the silicone grease when replacing these transistors. The grease should be applied to both sides of the mica insulators, and should be applied to the bottom side of the transistor where it comes in contact with the insulator.
WARNING 1. Silicone grease should be handled with care and should be kept away from the eyes. Wash hands thoroughly after contact with the grease.
2. Voltages are present on the exterior surface of the chassis-mounted power supply transistors
REV. B, APR. 1975

Maintenance-Type 141A/R141A
if power is applied to the instrument and the POWER switch is on.
After any component is replaced, check the operation and calibration of the associated circuits.
Indicator Lamp Replacement. The oven lamp can be removed from the front panel. To remove the lamp, unscrew the lens; use fingernails to grip the lamp, and pull outward. To replace the lamp, insert it and rotate it while applying light pressure. After the pins align with the socket, push the lamp fully into place. Replace the lens.
To remove the Power On indicator lamp, first remove the top cover from the instrument. Then, reach behind the front panel and unplug the lamp from its holder. To replace the lamp, reverse the procedure.
Fuse Replacement. Both line fuses are contained in plastic holders in the cover for the Line Voltage Selector Assembly at the rear of the instrument. To remove the fuses, disconnect the line cord from the power source and remove the cover of the assembly. Push on the end of the fuse to be removed and slide it out of the holder. Replace the fuse in a similar manner, being sure the cover fits snugly against the rear panel of the instrument.
Use only the correct value replacement fuse. A smaller value will tend to blow out; a larger value will not provide adequate protection for the instrument. Only the upper fuse within the assembly (1/2 A) is used for 115-volt operation. However, for 230-volt operation both the upper and lower fuse (1/4 A) mwst be installed.
Switches. If a switch is defective, replace the entire assembly. Replacement switches can be ordered by referring to the Parts List for the applicable part numbers.
When replacing a switch, tag the leads and switch terminals with corresponding identification tags as the leads are disconnected. Then, use the old switch as a guide for installing the new one. An alternative method is to draw a sketch of the switch layout and record the wire colour at each terminal. When soldering to a new wafer-type switch, be careful that the solder does not flow beyond the rivets on the switch terminals. Spring tension of the switch contact can be destroyed by excessive solder.
Power Transformer Replacement. Be sure to replace only with a direct replacement Tektronix transformer.
When removing the transformer, tag the leads with the corresponding terminal numbers to aid in connecting the new transformer. After the transformer is replaced, check the performance of the complete instrument using the Performance Check procedure.

Troubleshooting Aids

Diagrams. Circuit diagrams are provided on foldout pages in Section 8. The component number and electrical value of each component in this instrument are shown in the diagrams. Each main circuit is assigned a diagram number. Table 4-1 lists the main circuits in the Type R141A and their assigned diagram numbers. Important voltage and waveforms are also shown on the diagrams.

Switch Wafer Identification. The VERTICAl INSERTION TEST SIGNAl liNE selector switch shown on the Vertical diagram is coded to indicate the position of the wafer in the complete switch assembly. The numbered portion of the code refers to the wafer number counting from the front, or mounting end of the switch, toward the rear. The letters 'F' and 'R' indicate whether the front or rear of the wafer performs the particular switching function. For example, a wafer designated 3R on the diagram indicates that the rear of the third wafer is used for this particular switching function.

Circuit Boards. Fig. 4-5 shows the location of each circuit board within the instrument. Fig. 4-6 through 4-15 show a full view of each circuit board. Each electrical component on the boards is identified by its circuit number, and all wire colour codes are shown. These pictures, used along with the diagrams, aid in locating the components on the circuit boards.

Wire Colour Code. All insulated wires in the Type R141A are colour coded to facilitate circuit tracing. Table 4-2 summarizes the coding system used by Tektronix, Inc. for chassis wiring in all its instruments at this time.

Resistor Colour Code. In addition to the brown composition resistors, metal film resistors (identifiable by their gray or light blue colour) are used in the Type R141 A. The resistance value of composition and metal film resistors is colour-coded on the components with the standard EIA colour code. The colour code is read starting with the stripe nearest the end of the resistor. Composition resistors have four stripes consisting of two significant figures, a multiplier and a tolerance value. Metal-film resistors have five stripes which consist of three significant figures, a multiplier and a tolerance value (see Fig. 4-3).

Capacitor Markings. The capacitance value of a common disc capacitor or small electrolytic is marked in microfarads on the side of the component body. The white ceramic capacitors used in the Type R141A are colour-coded in picofarads using a modified EIA code (see Fig. 4-3).

Diode Colour Code. The cathode end of each glass-enclosed diode is indicated by a stripe, a series of stripes, or a dot. For metal-enclosed diodes, the anode and cathode are marked on the case. When the diode is a JEDEC registered device, a series of stripes indicates the diode type number using the EIA colour-code system. On diodes manufactured especially for Tektronix, a four-band colour code system is used, the first band of which is either blue or pink. On the latter type of diodes, the last three bands identify the diode
within a class of part numbers (e.g., a diode colour-coded blue (or pink) brown gray green probably indicates Tektronix Part Number 152-0185-00). When in doubt, consult the Parts list.

Transistor and IC Lead Configuration. Fig. 4-2 shows the lead configuration for socket mounted transistors, FETs and ICs used in the Type R141A.

Accuracy within 3% is adequate for other circuit voltage readings. The ohmmeter needs a range of 0 to 50 megohms.
Purpose: To check voltages and for general troubleshooting in this instrument.
3. Test Oscilloscope
Description: DC to 10 MHz frequency response (signal tracing). 10 millivolts to 10 volts/division deflection factor using a lOX probe.
Purpose: To check waveforms in this instrument.
Troubleshooting Techniques
This troubleshooting procedure is arranged in an order which checks the simple possibilities before proceeding with extensive troubleshooting. The first few checks assure proper connection, operation and calibration. If the trouble is not located by these checks, the remaining steps aid in locating the defective component. When the defective component is

located, it should be replaced following the replacement procedure given under Corrective Maintenance.
1. Check Control Settings. Incorrect control settings can indicate trouble that does not exist. If there is any question about the correct function or operation of any control, see the Operating Instructions.
2. Check Associated Equipment. Before proceeding with troubleshooting of the Type Rl41A, check that the equipment used with this instrument is operating correctly. Check that the signal is properly connected and that the interconnecting cables are not defective. Also, check the power source.
3. Visual Check. Visually check the portion of the instrument in which the trouble is located. Many troubles can be located by visual indications, such as unsoldered connections, loose pin connectors, broken wires, damaged circuit boards, damaged components, etc.
Check Instrument Calibration. Check the calibration of this instrument, or the affected circuit if the trouble exists in one circuit. The apparent trouble may only be a result of misadjustment and may be corrected by calibration. Complete calibration instructions are given in the Performance Check/Calibration section.
5. Isolate Trouble to a Circuit. To isolate trouble to a circuit, note the trouble symptoms. The symptoms often

identify the circuit in which the trouble is located. For example, if one luminance step in the composite video staircase signal is absent, this indicates that the Staircase luminance Amplifier circuit is probably at fault. When trouble symptoms appear in more than one circuit, check affected circuits by taking voltage and waveform readings.
Incorrect operation of all circuits often indicates trouble in the power supply. Check first for correct voltage of the individual supplies. A defective component elsewhere in the circuit can also appear as a power-supply trouble, and affect the operation of other circuits. Table 4-4 lists the tolerance of the power supplies in this instrument when measured at the test points given in the table. Fig. 4-4 shows the locations of these test points and the ground connection for the YOM common lead. If a power supply voltage is within the listed tolerance, the supply can be assumed to be working correctly. If outside the tolerance, the supply may be misadjusted or operating incorrectly. Use the procedure given in the Calibration section to adjust the power supplies.
Table 4-4 also lists the approximate power supply resistances when measured between each of the power supply test points and ground (pin connector X on the Power Supply board). Two resistance measurements are given: (1) With the + (positive polarity) lead of the YOM connected to the power supply test point, and (2) with the - (negative polarity) lead connected to the same power supply test point. Since these measurements are not absolute and may vary considerably between instruments and because of the type of ohmmeter used, space is provided in the table for filling in the information that pertains to a particular instrument and
ohmmeter.
Fig. 3-1 through 3-4 in the Circuit Description section can be used as a guide for isolating a trouble. These illustrations are functional block diagrams that show how the various signal components are combined to form the composite video signal. By using the front-panel controls and checking the signals at the BNC connectors, it is possible to determine the blocks or circuits that are functioning properly and those that
do not.
When a trouble is isolated to the smallest possible area, proceed with steps 6 through 8 in this troubleshooting procedure to locate the defective component(s).

6. Check Circuit Board Interconnections. After the

trouble has been isolated check the pin connectors on

to a particular the circuit board

area or circuit
for correct con~

nection. Figs. 4-6 through 4-15 show the correct connections

for each board.

The pin connectors used in this instrument also provide a convenient means of circuit isolation. For example, a short in a power supply can be isolated to the power supply itself by disconnecting the power distribution pin connectors for the voltage at the Power supply board when making resistance to ground checks.
7. Check Voltage and Waveforms. Often the defective
component can be located by checking for the correct voltage or waveform in the circuit. Typical voltages and waveforms are given on the diagrams.
NOTE
Voltages and waveforms given on the diagrams are not absolute and may vary slightly between instruments. To obtain operating conditions similar to those used to take these readings, see the inside portion of the Subcarrier Oscillator and Output diagram pull-out page.
CAUTION
Due to the component density on the circuit boards, care should be taken with meter leads and probe tips. Accidental shorts can cause abnormal voltages or transients which may destroy many components.
WARNING
"Ground lugs" are not always at ground potential. Check the schematic before using such connections as a ground for the voltmeter test prod or oscilloscope probe. Some transistors cases may be elevated.
8. Check Individual Components. The following procedures describe methods of checking individual components in the Type Rl41A Components which are soldered in place are best checked by disconnecting one end. This isolates the measurement from the effects of surrounding circuitry.
A TRANSISTORS (excluding FETs). The best check of transistor operation is actual performance under operating conditions. If a transistor is suspected of being defective, it can best be checked by substituting a new transistor or one which has been checked previously. However, be sure that circuit conditions are not such that a replacement transistor might also be damaged. If substitute transistors are not available, use a dynamic tester (such as Tektronix Type 576).

F. CAPACITORS. A leaky or shorted capacitor can best be detected by checking resistance with an ohmmeter on the highest scale. Do not exceed the voltage rating of the ca- ( pacitor. The resistance reading should be high after initial charge of the capacitor. An open coupling capacitor can best be detected with a capacitance meter or by checking whether the capacitor passes AC signals.
G. POWER INPUT CONNECTOR AND RFI FILTER. This item is replaceable as a unit and repair should not be attempted. If it is necessary to replace this unit, be sure to observe polarity to assure protection for the instrument. The narrow blade (terminal 4} should show continuity to terminal 3 which connects to fuse F2. The filter contains an internal nonreplaceable fuse between terminals 4 and 3. Use care when soldering to terminals 1 and 3, as excess solder could cause a short to the filter case.

9. Repair and Readjust the Circuit. If any defective parts are located, follow the replacement procedure given in this section. Be sure to check the performance of any circuit that has been repaired or that has had any electrical components replaced.

Fig. 4-4. Power Supply board test point locations.
Static-type testers are not recommended, since they do not check operation under simulated operating conditions.
B. FET and IC Replacement. FETs and ICs should not be replaced unless they are actually defective. The best method for checking these devices is by direct substitution. Be sure the voltage conditions of the circuit are not such that the replacement component might also be damaged.
C. DIODES. A diode can be checked for an open or shorted condition by measuring the resistance between terminals. With an ohmmeter scale having an internal source of between 800 millivolts and 3 volts, the resistance should be very high in one direction and very low when the leads are reversed.
CAUTION
Do not use an ohmmeter scale that has a high internal current. High current may damage the diode.
D. RESISTORS. Check the resistors with an ohmmeter. Check the Electrical Parts List for the tolerances of the resistors used in this instrument. Resistors normally do not need to be replaced unless the measured value varies widely from the specified value.
E. INDUCTORS. Check for open inductors by checking continuity with an ohmmeter. Shorted or partially shorted inductors can usually be found by checking the waveform response when high-frequency signals are passed through the circuit. Partial shorting often reduces high-frequency response (roll-off}.

PERFORMANCE CHECK/CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

In the following procedure, a test equipment setup picture is shown for each major group of adjustments and checks. Following each setup picture is a complete list of front-panel

control settings for the Type Rl41A. To aid in locating in-

General

dividual controls which have been changed during the com-

The following procedure is arranged in a sequence de-

names are printed in bold type. If only a Partial Perform-

signed for checking or calibration with minimum interaction

ance Check and/or Calibration is performed, start with the

of adjustments and reconnection of equipment. However,

some adjustments affect the calibration of other circuits with-

disconnected.) Type Rl41 A front-panel and rear-panel control

in the instrument, and it may be necessary to check the oper-

titles and output connectors are capitalized (e.g., COMP

ation of other parts of the instrument. When a step interacts

SYNC). Internal adjustment titles are initial capitalized only

with others, the steps which need to be checked are noted

(e.g., H Sync Start). Unless stated otherwise, all connections

in the "INTERACTION . . . . . . ." step.

are made to the Type R141A front-panel connectors.

NOTE
If adjustments are made on the power supplies, the calibration of the entire instrument must be checked.

The following procedure uses the equipment and fixtures previously listed in this section of the manual. If equipment and fixtures are substituted, control settings or test equipment setup may need to be altered to meet the requirements
of the equipment used.

Do not preset internal controls unless the instrument has been repaired or is known to be seriously out of adjustment. If repairs have been made, preset internal controls to midrange in the affected circuits.
Steps titled "CHECK . . . ." or "CHECK/ ADJUST . . . ." are a combined Performance Check and Calibration procedure. When performing a Performance Check only, do not do the ADJUST portion of the step. For convenience, the actual portion of the steps where an adjustment(s) is made are printed in red. Steps titled "ADJUST . . . . . ." are used only with a complete Calibration of the instrument.

NOTE

The Type R141 A is calibrated in accord with PAL

Signal specifications per CCIR as fo.llows:

Y

+ + .587G .299R .1148

V .877 (R-Y)

U .493 (B-Y)

0 The symbol

is used to identify the steps in which an

adjustment is made. To prevent recalibration of other cir-

cuits when performing a partial calibration, readjust only

if the listed tolerance is not met. However, when perform-

ing a complete calibration, best overall performance will be

provided if each adjustment is made to the exact setting.

NOTE
All waveforms shown in this procedure are actual photographs taken with a Tektronix Oscilloscope Camera System.
Preliminary Procedure
1. (Calibration Procdure only.) Remove the Type R141A from any enclosure so as to provide access to all internal adjustments and test points, including rear-panel connectors. (Exception. See Steps 6, 21, and 39.)
2. (Calibration Procedure only.) Lay the Type R141 A on its side for access to the Power Supply board.
3. Connect the autotransformer to a suitable power source
and the Type R141A to the autotransformer output.
4. Set the autotransformer output voltage to the design center voltage for which the Type R141 A LINE VOLTS selector switch has been set.
5. Set the Type R141A POWER switch to ON. Allow at least 20 minutes warmup at 25°C, +5°C before checking and/or calibrating the instrument to the given accuracy.
6. Set the Type R141 A and Test Equipment controls as described following Fig. 5-l.

With this error, the dial reading obtained in part w would have to be between 2% and 3% below, or between 2% and 3% above, the standard value of the blue colour bar. In other words, the V2 Volts control dial setting must be between 2-2-29 and 2-2-65

(2% to 3% below), or between 2-4-56 and 2-4-94 (2% to 3% above}.
x. Using the procedure just described for checking the amplitude of the blue colour bar, Fig. 5-24C, Fig. 5-25A, B, and C, check each remaining chrominance amplitude listed in Table 5-2.
y. Set the Type R141A COLOUR BAR U and V switches up, and the AMPLITUDE switch to 100%, 0 SETUP.
z. Repeat part i through w for all components listed in Table 5-3.
NOTE All values are different, but procedure is identical.
aa. Test equipment remains connected.

VOLTAGE AND WAVEFORM CONDITIONS

DC circuit voltages measured with a digital multimeter with an
accuracy of 0.1 %; input impedance is greater than 1 kMQ on the 1.500
volt range and 10 MQ on the higher ranges. AC voltages measured
with a YOM having an accuracy of 3%. All voltages were measured
with respect to chassis ground unless noted otherwise.

Waveforms shown are actual photographs taken with a Tektronix

Oscilloscope Camera System and Projected Graticule. Each major divi-

sion represents one em. Test oscilloscope deflection factor and sweep

rate conditions are noted adjacent to each waveform. DC coupling was

used to obtain the DC levels that are recorded at the right side of each

waveform. These DC levels are located with respect to the graticule

line rather than to the waveform. To show time related waveforms,

the triggering source for the test oscilloscope is indicated on each dia-

cen

gram.

The test oscilloscope used for obtaining the waveform photographs

had the following minimum characteristics: Deflection factor, 1 mYI em

RACKMOUNTING

Rackmounting Instructions

Rackmounting in a Cabinet Rack

Mounting Method (figs. 9-1, 9-2, 9-5 and 9-6)

when they are properly mated to the chassis sections as shown in Fig. 9-3.

The last pullout page in this section shows dimensional drawings exclusive of the power cord and cables.

Mounting Procedure-Use the following procedure to mount both sets. See Figs. 9-5 and 9-6 for installation· details.

Width-A standard 19-inch rack may be used. The dimen-

sion or opening between the front rails must be at least 17%

inches (see Fig. 9-2) for a cabinet rack in which the front lip

of the stationary section is mounted behind an untapped

front- rail as shown in the right-hand illustration of Fig. 9-6.

This dimension allows room on each side of the instrument

for the slide-out tracks to operate so the instrument can move

freely in and out of the rack.

'

De~th-For proper circulation of cooling air, allow at least 2 inches clearance behind the rear of the instrument and any enclosure on the rack (see dimensional drawing). If it is sometimes necessary or desirable to operate the Type R141 A in the fully extended position, use cables that are long enough to reach from the instrument to the location where the signal(s) need to be applied.

1. To mount the instrument directly above or below another instrument in the cabinet rack, select the approp'riate holes in the front rack rails for the stationary sections using Fig. 9-5 as a guide.
2. Mount the stationary slide-out track sections to the front rack rails using either of these methods:
(a) If the front rails are not countersunk, use the pan head screws and bar nuts to mount the stationary sections similar to the right-hand illustration shown in Fig. 9-6.
(b) If the front rails are countersunk, use the flat head screws and bar nuts to mount the stationary sections as shown in Fig. 9-6 right-hand illustration.
3. Mount the stationary slide-out track sections to the nontapped rear rails using this method:

Mount the left stationary section with hardware provided as shown in the left-hand or center illustration in Fig. 9-6. Note that the rear mounting bracket can be installed either way so the slide-out tracks will fit a deep or shallow cabinet rack. Use Fig. 9-6 as a guide for mounting the right stationary section. Make sure the stationary sections are horizontally aligned so they are level and parallel with each other.
Adjustments
To adjust the slide-out tracks for smooth operation, proceed as follows:

1. Insert the instrument into the rack as described and as shown in steps 1 through 4 of Fig. 9-7 installation procedure.
2. Adjust the slide-out tracks for proper spacing as shown in Fig. 9-8.
Maintenance
The slide-out tracks require no lubrication. The special dark gray finish on the sliding parts is a permanent lubrication.

MANUAL CHANGE INFORMATION
At Tektronix, we continually strive to keep up with latest electronic developments by adding circuit and component improvements to our instruments as soon as they are developed and tested.
Sometimes, due to printing and shipping requirements, we can't get these ch·anges immediately into printed manuals. Hence, your manual may contain new change information on following pages.
A single change may affect several sections. Since the change information sheets are carried in the manual until all changes are permanently entered, some duplication may occur. If no such change pages appear following this page, your manual is correct as printed.
SERVICE NOTE
Because of the universal parts procurement problem, some electrical parts in your instrument may be different from those described in the Replaceable Electrical Parts List. The parts used will in no way alter or compromise the performance or reliability of this instrument. They are installed when necessary to ensure prompt delivery to the customer. Order replacement parts from the Replaceable Electrical Parts List.
