With the increased production of color TV receivers, it became apparent that a sweep and marker generator that was fastand casy to use, and produced fool-proof outputs was necessary to satisfy ficldrequirements. Inthe past, sweep alignment has becn time consuming and difficult because of the number of pieces of equipment needed and the complexity of the hook up to the TV set before alignment could take place. Sencore engincershave spent considerable time indeveloping a unique breakthrough in sweep alignment equipment. All the troubles and problems of sweep equipment that have been found in the past, have heen climinated in the SM152, Now, the five picces of equipment previously needed to do the complete alignment job have been combined into one casy to use, acgurate sweep and marker generator. ere are a few of the SM1S2 feature: * Generates text book response curves through high stability, extremely tat RE output displayed on an ultra linear sweep, Complete chroma signal for injection imo the 1 or chroma bandpass amplifier directly. 19 Markers available at the push of a button with a true post injection system. 8 crystal controlled markers for the TV IF can be viewed simultaneously or one ata time. Sweep direction and response polarity fully controlled to enable the technician to duplicate the illustrations given inthe aligoment jnstructions of the different man- ufacture: Calibrated sweep width and RE output voltage. Large 11 inch iuminated dial for easy reading, Completely solid state with electronic sweep. ‘Three curves are shown on the front panel, RE, IF, and Chroma with marker locations.

For TV IF aligament, the swecp should be sct to about 8 MHz so thatall the traps can be seen, In FM, dhe lowest limit of 0.3 Milz will be required. ‘The sweep width control can also be used to expanda portion of the response curve, such as the color slope ina color ‘TV receiver so thal the important points can be set correctly, Simply adjust the TUNING cuntrol to center the partion of the curve that you are Interested in an the scope sereen and then reduce the sweep width ta expand the sweep. The sweep width control does not effect the Chroma signal, which is preset, or the IF spot align band where there is no sweep. ‘The sweep width obtained onthe 10-55, 50-120 and 110-230 Miz hands is that markecon the fronc panel. On UMP, the fourth har- monic of the 110 to 230 MHz, band is used and the swecp width will be four times tha marked on the front pane], If the direction of the sweep is opposite to that shown in the alignment procedure or not to the liking of the technician, it can be changed with the SWEEP DIRECTION switeh. Lf te low frequencics are onthe right side af the scope screenand the man- vlacturers literature show them an the left, simply set the SWELP DIRECTION switch to the apposite position and the direction of the sweep will reverse, matching the display with the literature. If the signal from the SCOPE II jackan the SMIS2 is not used to drive the scope, the SWEEP DIRECTION switch will not affect the direction of the response curve. To reverse the direction of sweep when you do nol use this signal, simply reverse the plug on the scope. ‘The RF cable with the 39G22 matching pad is used to couple signals from the RF OUTPUT jack on the SM152 into the receiver being aligned, ‘The RF jack fs used for all signals from the SM352 with the exception of the 2 10 5 MHz swept Chroma signal, and the 10.7 Milz crystal signal. The 10,7 Miz signal, available from the 10.7 Miz OUT jack near the POWER switch has a fixed level of 100 microvolts used for PM peaking. “The Chroma signal from the CHROMA QUT jack is variable from 0 to 2 volts peak t peakand is controlled with the RI FINE-CHROMA control. “Ihe Chroma signal is uscd for direct injection into the bandpass amplifier for alignment of this sectionof the color receiver as recommended by some manufacturers, or for trouble shpotingof the barpass amplilier when a loss of gainor signal is experienced. 3. MARKER ADDER With the RE cable connected to the antenna terininals or the injection test point and the RF output and sweep widnh sct, the response curve from the set must sow be couples into the marker adder where the markers will he added. ‘The 39G23 detector cable is used for this purpose, and is connected to the DETECTOR IN jack on the lower part of the SMISZ panel, ‘The red lead with a built in isolation resistor is connected tothe detector luad when observing the 1F respanse, ar the blue lead with ihe built in detector ix vonnected to the ompot of the chroma amplifier when ob- serving the bandpass response. ‘The vertical input of the scope is connected to the SCOPL. V jack so that the response curve canbe displayed on the scope screen. ‘The SCOPE H jack is connected to the horizontal input of the scope if no LINE position is able onthe scope or the SWEEP DIRECTION switch on the SM152 is to be used. If the response curve is not of the polarity of that shown in the service literature, simply set the RESPONSE PATTERN switch to the opposite setting to change the polarity of the response curve on the scope screen. 4. MARKER SELECTION After the response curve is obtained on the scope screen, markers are added to determine the exact points onthe response of critical frequencies, With push buttonselection, this isas simple as depressing a button under the desired frequency, For ‘TV IF, the markers are crystal controlled avd cover all ue necessary check point 39.75 for adjacent video traps, 41.25 for the sound traps, 41.67 and 42,67 lor the color limit markers, 42.17 for the color carrier, 44,25 for the central portion ot thecurve, 45.75 for the videocarrier, and 47.25 for the adjacent sound craps. Whea the Chroma signal is imected Intothe IF, the 41,67, 42.17, and 42,6? markers are used ant become 4,08, 3,58, and 3.08 on the response curve when viewed acthe chroma bandpass amplifier. When the IF response is viewed at the video detector, the markers are ag listed on the front panel. When the chroma signal is injected directly into the chroma bandpass amplifier, the markers are 3.08, 3.58, and 4,06 ag marked onthe front panel. Both frequencies are activated when the signal button is depressed, thereby simplifying operation and eliminating confusion, For tuner aligoment, the four most recommended markers are available, one at atime. Chan- nels 4 and 5 are available when the RANGE switch is set to de 50 co 120 Mitz band and Channels 10 and 13 are available when the RANGE switch is set lo me 110 0 230 Miz band. A 10.7 MHz marker is available for FM alignment, ‘This marker has automatic 100 Kitz limit markers of 10,6 and 10.8 Mflz so chat the band width of the FM IF can be determined. ‘This 10.7 MHz crystal controlled signal without the limitmarkers or sweep is available at the 10,7 Milz jackon the lower panel for peaking of monophonic FM (fs, lf markers other than those provided are desired, the signal may be injected from an external marker or signal generator into the EXT MKR IN jack onthe lower panel, Whenthe EXT MKR button is depressed, the marker will appear on the response curve. ‘The TY IF marker switches and che FM IP and EXT marker switches are push-push lype; Push co make, push to break. The RF marker switches are imerlocked so that only one RE Marker is available at a cime. ‘The amplitude of the murkers is variable so that the desired size marker may be put on the response curve with the MARKER HEIGHT control. ‘The setting of this contro! will not affect the response curve in any way ay the marker is post injected, i.¢.; merely added to the response, ‘The marker Width is also variable so that de- pending upon che sweep width, ue desired sizacan be obtained, “Tiree wiz available, NAR or narrow for narrow sweeps such as in EM IF medium for chroma bandpass alignment and WIDE for Tuner and TV EP alignment. Of course, the user can select his choice for any alignment procedure if he desires. REAR PANEL CONTROLS ‘There are three controls on the rear of the $M152 that will seldom be used. These are the BLANKING switch, the PHASE ADJUST, and we FREQUENCY CAL, ‘The location of these controls is shown in figure 5. ‘The PHASE ADJUST will normally be seconce for the scope used, and then not touch= cdagain unless the scope is changed, ‘To adjust the PHASE. ADJUST, the BLANKING switch is pushed tw We unblanking position, [¢ is a spring loaded switch and wi) return to the blanking position the moment itis released. If two waveforms are seen on the scope screen as shown in figure 6, set the PHASE ADJUST control untit they fall on cop of each outer or are in phase. ‘Then release the BILANKING swite! If che horizontal Jine position of we scope is used for horizomal trace, the PHASE ADJUST on the SMi52 will not have any affect. ‘The phase adjustment on the scape must be used to phase the wo waveforms using the BLANKING switch on the SM1S2 the same as was done for the PHASE ADJUST on the SM152,FIGURE 6. RESPONSE CURVE OUT OF PHASE WITH “BLANKING. REMOVED, If the RE frequency of the sweep generaror drifts slightly, it can be put backon fre- quency with che FREQUENCY CAL. control, The control is casily adjusted using the internal markers of the SMI52 asa check point. For example, the RANGE switch can he sot to the 10 ta 85 Miz hind and the 45.75 marker bution depressed. ‘Then set_the tuning dial to the 45.75 point marked on the dial. With the scope connected as for sweep alignment, but no detector input to the SMLS2, adjust the FINE RE ADJUST ancil the marker seen on the base line on the scope screen is in the center of the sercen, You will have w adjust the sweep width, marker height and marker width to get the desired size marker on the screen, “This control will seldom be used, but the accuracy of the dial markings can he checked using the above method, APPLICATIONS —_—__ WHAT IS SWEEP ALIGNMENT A tuned ampliticr, such as the {1 amplifier ina television receiver, is designed to passa bandof frequencies and reject frequencies outside of thishand. For example a color television IF amplifier is designed to pass frequencies bewween 41, 67 and 16.75 MElz anil reject frequencies below 41,25 and ahove 47,25 Miz. ‘This wide pass band is obtained by having several IF stages each cuned to adifferentpart of the band, i.e. :stagger tuned, Alignmentof this amplifier witha standard signal generator is difficult, because cach stage has to be aligned individually and then the overall response checked by laboriously recording the output as input frequency is changed in small steps across the band. Plotiing output against frequency on a graph would then show the response of the amplifier. UF you were able to nine the frequency of the signal generator at an even rate back and forth across the frequency band of interest you could observe the output (after detection) on an oscilloscope and actually see the response of the amplifier. This is what is done in a sweep gencrator. ‘The ourpuc signal from the generator is a constantly changing frequency over a selected range asdetermined by waning and the sweep width settings of the generator. ‘The rate atwhich the output is swept is low, Renerally for convenience, the frequency of the AC line, Markers are ackled to the response curve wo ferent parts af the curve. ‘Th gach = ccuratcly show the frequency at dif- y aire generated by amplifying the low frequencies on le of the zero beat that develops when the frequency of the sweep signal passes through the marker oscillator frequency. Generating markers external to the amplificr under test aod adding them to the respause curve is called post Ine jecbion, It is superior to. preinjection system where the marker oscillator signal is ted w the amplifier under test along with the sweep signal. Markers developed this way cam distortthe response curve or are lost in traps making sweep alignment more difficult. 2THE COLOR TV LF RESPONSE CURVE The ideal color TV IF respons curve is shown in figure 7, It is also shown on the from panel. You should become totally familiar with this curve, because it can be anexcellent trouble shooting aid. Note that the top of the curve shown is flat.

The apposite slope 4s not quite us seep, but should rise linear‘ily for best recovery of low frequency video infurmation. “The upper adjacent channel picture carrier (39,75 Milz) and the lower adjacent channel sound carrier (17.25 Mllz) must be trapped ouc to prevent interference, “Me ani plifier has minimum ar zcro gain al these frequencies There are a wuinber of usings that will affect the response curve, fl a tap is mnis- adjusted far example, it will be impossible to get the correct curve arta lot of Lime can be wasted if this is not recognized. One or more weak stages will also yive a poor curve so the tubes should always be checked ar substituted before aligument is attempred. ‘The design ofan amplifier takes into account the internal whe: capacity, When tubes are replaced in an amplifier a uiffevent internal capacity could upset the alignment. Study the curve in Figure 7, When yau know how the curve should look you will be able to pin-point troubles fust CONNECTING THE SMI52 FOR ALIGNMENT ‘The SMIS2 is extremely casy w connect and will require only three cable coual alignment of a color television reveiver. Howe connect the in the section below: lor the ~ covercal ecable: RE CABLE: ‘The RF cable is connected to the antenna Germinls, tne mixer tube in the tuner, or to the individual upon the: alij of the particular manufacturer. ‘Nhe 39G22 matching pad is used in most cases as it notonly ucts as a 30Y ohm match for the ancenna cerminals found onthe'T'V set or KM tuner, but terminates the cable so that no standing waves are present, When usi the RP frequencies of channe) 2 and above for TY or 88 to 108 for FM, ue KE cable is connected to the antenna terminals of te set. UC TV IF aligament is being per formed, the RE cable with the 39G22 matching pad coonected is either connected Ww yDthe inixer test point or capacity coupled to the mixer tube, The test point is easy to find as it is located next tw a syuarehole in the wner. Figure 8 shows this loca Hon on # tube type tuner. On some solid state tuners, the test point is on top of che tuner as in the cuho model, and in athers it is located on the side of the tuner.

DETERMINING THE ACCURACY OF THE SCOPE FOR SWEEP ALIGNMENT ‘The oscilloscope isan important cool in sweep alignment. If the scope does not have a gond low frequency response, has a phase shift in the vertical amplifier, or a phase shift between the horizontaland vertical amplifier, the response curve on the scope screen canbe misleading asto the actual condition of the television receiver. Any of the above conditions can distort the response curve enough to give inaccurate results when the TV set is aligned. The Sencore SM152 has an ultra linear sweep and a flat automatically controlledoutput and can be used! to check out the scope be~ fore any alignment is started. If the scope is checked our, the results can be taken into consideration when doing the alignment for a more precise job. ‘To make the accuracy check with the SM152 on your scope, follow these steps: 1, Set the SMI52 to the 10-58 Miz, range and the tuning dial to about 43 Megahertz Set sweep width to 15 Megahertz. 2. Connect the RF cable using the 300 olin matching pad tw the detector probe (blue lead) input aad the scape vertical input ¢o the SCOPE ¥ jack on the SM152, 3. Adjust the scope vertical gain untila usablepattern is seen, Ifthe scope is good andhas no phase shiftand has a good low frequency response, thepattern should appear as shown in figure 9, If the scope has a poor low frequency response, the pattern will appear as shown in figure 10. The more the pattern bows or tilts the worse die low frequency response is, Some buwing or tilting of the pattern will be acceptable and should be taken into cansideration when adjuscing the television receiver. Figures 11 ancl 12 show other various scope troubles. [{_ any of these problems appear to excess, it will affect the response curve of the TV set.
