A sweep ramp provides the tuning voltage for a voltage-tuned oscillator and is simultaneously applied to the horizontal-deflection system of a cathode-ray-tube display. The local-oscillator frequency is mixed with the input signal to produce an intermediate frequency(IF). The IF is detected, filtered, and applied to the vertical deflection plates of the CRT [cathode-ray-tube]. 5, record 1, English, - cathode%2Dray%20tube%20display

The receiver has to have suitable pass band characteristics to deal with the pulse modulation side bands, and must be free from paralysis following reception of a large signal ... Its output is rectified and amplified and applied to the cathode-ray tube display, either as a deflexion or an intensity modulation. The cathode-ray tube is also supplied with a range time base ..., synchronized to the pulse transmission, and suitable calibration devices ... are usually also necessary. The form of the display unit depends on the particular radar application, and on what coordinate or coordinates other than range are to be presented. For example, in the plan position indicator the time base starts from the centre of the tube and goes radically outwards in a direction depending on the azimuth of the beamed aerials (which sweeps continuously), and the signal is presented as a spot intensifier. 6, record 1, English, - cathode%2Dray%20tube%20display

Through communications between observation posts, azimuths were obtained to the same muzzle flashes. Through intersecting the azimuths reported, the enemy artillery positions were located with sufficient accuracy to commence counterbattery fire by zone and deflection sweep. 2, record 2, English, - deflection%20sweep

An amplifier used with a cathode-ray tube, such as in a television receiver or cathode-ray oscilloscope, to amplify the sawtooth output voltage of the sweep oscillator, to shape the waveform for the deflection circuits of a television picture tube, or to provide balanced signals to the deflection plates. 2, record 3, English, - sweep%20amplifier

La caméra comporte, en outre, les circuits nécessaires au fonctionnement du tube analyseur: ensemble de concentration, bloc de balayage et bloc de focalisation. Tous ces dispositifs sont enfermés dans un blindage en mumétal, dont le rôle est d'éviter les influences parasites de champs électriques ou magnétiques sur le tube analyseur. En général, les amplificateurs de balayage sont compris dans la caméra. 1, record 3, French, - amplificateur%20de%20balayage
