MEASUREMENT BY LISSAJOUS’ FIGURES.
(a) Frequency measurement
Lsojous figures area widely used methd for measurement ofthe fraquency of asignl. To make
1 froquancy measurement using this method, proceed as follows
Set the SWEEP RANGE selector switch (11] tothe EXT position, Connect signal generator arose
the HOR EXT. INPUT terminals (3) and (4) and acjust the generator output until the
waveform appearing on the cathode ray tube sereen provides 3 trace width of approx. 6 DIV.
‘Apply the unknown fraquency signal across the == (4! and VERT INPUT (5) terminals and adit
‘tho V. GAIN control (8) until the waveform appearing on the cathode ray tube sereen has an
amplitude of approx. 6 DIV.
Slowly vary the output frequency of the generator until the waveform appears as ono of the
following figures.

becomes a straight ine, an
relation between the frequency of the signal generator and tha unknown frequency thet the former

‘frequency through a caeulation.
The frequency ratio is determined by observing the numberof tangent points on ether vertical sie

(b) Measurement of phase itference
[Apply the two signals having the sme frequency {for instance the Rand L signals ofa stereo signal)
to HOR EXT. INPUT (3) and VERT INPUT torminals (5) inthe same manner as described in ().
Straightline running from the upper left corner to the lower right corner of the seroun indicates
both signals are in phase with each other. Increasing phase ciffrence causa the straight line on the
cathode ray tube seen to gradually tun into an alias, When the ellipse tur into a citele or an
lipse witha vertical or horizontal ait the signals ae 90" out of phate with each other.
To make the measurement ofthe phage ciference ofthe two signals mentioned above, measure the
