Prescaler Circuit Board
There are several different optional prescalers available with
different frequency ranges. The prescaler is located on a sepa-
rate circuit board that is connected to the main circuit board
with a PCB connector.
A typical prescaler consists of a limiter, an amplifier, a fre-
quency divider, and a detector. The limiter and the amplifier
condition the input signal so that the amplitude to the divider
is constant. The divider scales the input signal so that it can be
handled by the measuring logic on the main circuit board. A
detector switches off the output signal from the divider if the
input level is too low for the divider to work correctly (divid-
ers often oscillate without input signal).
