Question

Define sweep generater.

Answer 1

The circuit diagram of a transistor sweep generator is shown in the figure. The performance of the circuit can be explained as follows.

    During the positive half cycle of the input signal the base-emitter junction of the transistor becomes forward biased. The transistor

    conducts and is driven into saturation. Then the output voltage will be low. During the negative half cycle the base-emitter junction

    becomes reverse biased and the transistor is driven into cut-off. During this interval the collector of the transistor will be at a

    voltage slightly less than VCC. The capacitor now charges towards this high voltage. During the next positive half cycle the transistor

    turns ON and provides the discharge path for the capacitor. The capacitor discharges during the short time interval.

    Thus during the positive half cycle the output of the circuit will be low and during the next half cycle we obtain the sweep wave in

    the output. Hence the name sweep generator for the circuit.
