The 3100B AORET synthesizer is a d ig itally controlled signal generator which delivers all 0.01 Hz
to 200 kHz frequencies with 0.01 Hz resolution.
The synthesized frequency can be either manually dia lle d through eight rotary switches on the
front panel of the instrument (Local mode), or programmed in parallel BCD code through TTL signals sent to the programming connector on the rear panel of the instrument (Remote mode).
Two channels A and B simultaneously deliver two output signals in phase quadrature with 5 n or 50 a impedance and an electromotive force adjustable from 0 to 10 Vpeak. Moreover, the signal delivered by channel A can have the following forms : sine wave, positivd square wave, symmetrical square wave, negative square wave, TTL level square wave.
According to the user's needs, the 3100B generator synthesizer can be fitte d with the following options :
- Option 311IB : progranmable attenuator
This option allows to attenuate one of the output signals of the generator synthesizer from 0 dB to 79.9 dB with 0.1 dB resolution. The attenuation value can be either manually dialled through three
rotary switches in Local mode, or programmed in parallel BCD code through TTL signals in Remote mode.
- Option 3112B : programmable phase-shifter
This option delivers a sinusoidal signal phase-shifted from 0° to 359.9° with regard to the signal of channel A of the 3100B generator synthesizer. The phase-shift value can be eithe r manually dialled through four thumbwheel switches in Local mode, or programmed in pa rallel BCO code through TTL signals in Remote mode. The electrom otive force of the phase-shifted signal is adjustable from 0 to 10 Vpeak with 5 ft or 50 ft output impedance.
- Option 3114B : Search and Sweep
This option allows progressive frequency variation of the generator synthesizer output signals. Four modes of operation are possible depending on the function required :
- Search function
- Free-run Sweep
- Triggered Sweep
- Search or Sweep by external signal
In all cases, twenty-one "birdy" or re ctified markers display the frequency variation achieved.

I I I- l GENERATOR SYNTHESIZER 3100B
The operation of the 3100B ADRET generator synthesizer is based on indirect frequency synthesis,
which uses the phase-locking of an oscillator to a reference frequency by means of a programmable d iv i
sion rate counter.
The elaboration of the synthesizer output frequency is ite rative ly achieved through six sub-
assemblies, as shown in the block-diagram of plate 111-1.
- The Centade elaborates the 10'2 Hz and 10'1 Hz increments of the output frequency ;
- Four Standard Decades successively generate the 10^ Hz, 10* Hz and 103 Hz increments of the
output frequency ;
- The Twenty-Increment unit elaborates the ten 10^ Hz increments and the two 10^ Hz increments
of the output frequency.
The frequency increments generated in each subassembly are incorporated in the following sub
assembly where they are divided by 10.
Thus, the Centade delivers a FI frequency variable from 2 MHz to 1.901 MHz in 1 kHz and 10 kHz steps representing the 10-2 Hz and 10_* Hz increments of the output frequency. This FI frequency is sent to the firs t Standard Decade where it is added to the frequency carrying the 10° Hz increments of the output frequency and afterwards divided by 10.
This process provides a F2 frequency variable from 2 MHz to 1.9001 MHz in 100 Hz, 1 kHz and
10 kHz steps representing respectively the 10~2 Hz, 10- 1 Hz and 10^ Hz increments of the output frequency
of the generator synthesizer.
The same method of operation is used in the other three Standard Decades and in the Twenty-Incre ment unit as well, where frequency F6 variable from 8 MHz to 7.200 000 04 MHz in 0.04 Hz steps is issued
from, carrying all the increments of the output frequency.
This frequency F6 is divided by 4 in the Output Mixer through a counter providing two signals in
phase quadrature. Two substractive mixing c ircuits receiving frequency F ll : 2 MHz issued from the Time
Base serve to obtain two signals in phase quadrature, the frequency of which varies from 0.01 Hz to
199.999 99 kHz in 0.01 Hz steps. A fter amplification and shaping (channel A), these signals constitute
the A and B outputs of the generator synthesizer.
I l l -2 OPTION 311 IB
The 3111B programmable attenuator consists of ten attenuating cells controlled by a transcoder
circu it which permits the parallel BCD programming.

111-3 O P T I O N 3 1 1 2B
The generation of the sine wave phase-shifted from 0° to 359.9° which is delivered by the 3112B programmable phase-shifter is achieved by multiplying the sine waves issued from channels A and B of the Output Mixer by two DC voltages representing the cosine and the sine of the $ phase-shift angle, and then by adding the signals obtained according to the following formula :
sin (ut + *) = cos if. sin ut + sin <f>. cos <nt
The DC voltages representing cos 4> and sin 4 1 are elaborated through 3 kHz frequency TTL signals generated by a Digital Phase-Shift subassembly.
111-4 OPTION 3114 B
The 3114B Search and Sweep option delivers a F12 frequency variable from 2.1 MHz to 1.9 MHz, which
is substituted fo r one of frequencies FI to F5, so as to permit continuous variatio n of the synthesizer
output frequency within the selected interpolation range. The twenty-one markers spaced every 10 % of the
interpolation range are generated by frequency beat between the interpolation o s cilla to r frequency and a reference signal derived from the Time Base.
