Instruction sheet
737 021 Gunn power supply with SWR meter
Carefully read the instruction sheet before putting the device into operation!
Prescribed use
The Gunn power supply with SWR meter is a component of T 7.4 Microwave Technology. It
is designed exclusively for use in demonstrations or student experiments.
Description
DC and control voltages are required to operate the Gunn oscillator, cat. no. 737 01 and the
PIN modulator, cat. no. 737 05. The generation of these voltages as well as the quantitative
evaluation of the demodulated microwave signal is performed using the device described
here. Furthermore, this device is equipped with various inputs and outputs for experiments
on modulation and recording of characteristics. It is delivered in 19" lab bench design. The
device is broken down into the sub systems I…IV as shown in Fig.1:

II MODULATION
The MODULATION circuit integrated into the power supply unit generates a clock-pulse,
which is used for the modulation of the PIN modulator, cat. no. 737 05 and for the control of
the POWER & SWR METER (III). Via the toggle switch (21) the PIN modulator connected to
the socket (8) can be modulated either by the internal clock-pulse signal or by an external
signal fed to socket (9). In order to permit internal modulation without using a microwave PIN
modulator, the toggle switch must be set to GUNN-INT, through which the Gunn voltage is
amplitude-modulated internally by the clock signal.

IV VIDEO
The video amplifier is independent from the measurement amplifier (lock-in amplifier). With
the toggle switch (17) an analog or a TTL signal is supplied to the output socket (18). Using
the potentiometer (15) the DC component for analog signals can be set. With the broadband
video amplifier it is possible to amplify externally modulated signals. Equipment from the
T 7.2 Transmission Technology system can be used as modulation sources.
