Counter
Ass'y
Unit
This
unit is composed of the counter mixer board that
produces
operating
frequencies by mixing the VCO output
(local oscillator stgnal for the mixer) with carrler signal, and
the counter board that counts the frequencies
in
d~gits.
These units are housed in a r~gid shielding case. Since the
frequencies are read by synthesizing all the
local oscillator
stgnals, accurate operating frequencies are always counted
under any operating conditions. The counter output is pick-
ed up as a signal to
dr~ve the indicating tubes and is fed to
the
d~splay unit.
