    Model A5-32 Operation And Service Manual For continued protections against fire, replace the line fuse(s) with fuses of the same current rating and type (for example, normal blow time delay). Do not use repaired fuses of short-circuited fuse holders. Voltage, Frequency and Power Characteristics...
  • Page 5: Distribution Amplifier A5-12

    Operating Procedure Introduction The Quartzlock model A5-12 is a linear distribution amplifier designed for standard frequency distribution between 1 MHz and 100 MHz. The circuit is based on a number of balanced linear amplifiers with high reverse isolation and low phase noise. Twelve of these amplifiers are used to drive the twelve 50Ω...
  • Page 6: Circuit Descriptions

    Model A5-32 Operation And Service Manual Circuit Descriptions Output Amplifier The output amplifier is a differential amplifier based on a common emitter, common base, and common collector cascade circuit. TR7 and TR8 are the common emitter input stages. The emitter resistors R11 and R23, and R12 set the transconductance.
