Microwave Trainer (Type 4510)

 

 

Front View

       
        The Microwave Trainer consist of a sturdy, lockable case with the entire electronic components,    including      the power pack, built in. All the components necessary for conducting the experiments are accommodated in the lid of the case. The components can be fixed on the mounting rail by means of holders and snap-in devices. All currents supplies, modulation voltages are produced internally. Oscillator, modulator, detector and demodulator are protected against  incorrect connection. All waveguide components are gold-plated. The microwave Trainer (Type 4510), in conjunction with the appropriate components, allows experiments and measurements in the microwave range of about 14.5 GHz.

Mains Connection

 

Mains voltage:             230 VAC/115 V AC, 50 … 60 Hz, 20 VA

Mains switch:               ON/OFF with pilot lamp

Mains fuse:                   F1 = 0.1 A slow (at 230 V), primary side

                                       F1 = 0.2 A slow (at 115V), secondary side

 

Power is supplied through a 3-pin appliance connector on the rear side of the unit.

 

Change-over from 230 V to 115 V (110 V) mains voltage is done by resoldering jumpers (0 W resistors) inside the unit (see fig.1).

 

Warning: Before dismantling the unit pull the mains plug!

 

 

Oscillator Current Supply

 

The oscillator current supply alternatively supplies a continuous signal or meander-from signal clocked with 1 kHz, the voltage of which is continuously adjustable by means of a potentiometer. Selection is done by plugging in a 4 mm connecting plug. The current consumption can be measured as a voltage value via a 1 W resistor and afterwards be calculated.

 

Voltage range:              -4 V … -9 V

Max. Current:                 500 mA

 

Fastening Screws

 

The unit can be screwed out of the case by loosening the six fastening screws.

Warning: Before dismantling the unit pull the main plug!

 

Modulator Signal

 

Amplitude of the modulator signal continuously adjustable by means of potentiometer. The signal is a meander-form voltage clocked with 1 kHz and used for the PIN Modulator (Type 4521).

 

Voltage range:              -1 … -6 V

Max. current:                  50 mA

 

Constant Voltage Source

 

High-ohmic voltage source. It supplies a constant bias voltage for the Schottky diode of the VSWR Detector (Type 4556).

 

Voltage:            -9 V

 

Mounting Rail

 

Mounting rail for setting up experiments with the components

 

Length: 60 cm

 

Scale

 

Millimetre scale for accurate positioning of the components on the mounting rail.
