    CATHODE RAY

    OSCILLOSCOPE
    A cathode ray oscilloscope (CRO) is a laboratory instrument used
    to display, measure and analyse waveforms of electrical circuits.
    It is used to display the analysis and measurement of waveforms.
    It is an extremely quick X-Y plotter that shows the input signal vs.
    time.
    COMPONENTS OF A CATHODE RAY
    OSCILLOSCOPE
    A CRO has the following essential parts:

    1. CATHODE RAY TUBE(CRT)


    A CRT is the vaccum tube and the main function of this tube is to
    change the signal from electric to visual. The CRT mainly includes
    the electron gun as well as the eelectrostatic deflection plates like
    horizontal and vertical. The electron gun in the CRT will generate
    a focused electron ray that speeds up to high frequency.

    2. VERTICAL AMPLIFIER
    It amplifies the input signals for display on the CRT screen.

    3. DELAY LINE
    It provides a certain signal that is applied to vertical deflection
    plates of CRT.

    4. TRIGGER CIRCUIT
    It produces a triggering signal for synchronizing both horizontal
    and vertical deflections of the electron beam.

    5. TIME BASE GENERATOR


    It produces a sawtooth signal for horizontal deflection of the
    electron beam.

    6. HORIZONTAL AMPLIFIER
    It amplifies the sawtooth signal and then connects it to the
    horizontal deflection plates of CRT.
    7. POWER SUPPLY
    It produces both high and low voltages. The negative high voltage
    and positive low voltage are applied to CRT and the other circuits
    respectively
    WORKING PRINCIPLE OF CATHODE RAY
    OSCILLOSCOPE

    The electron gun generates a beam of electrons; these electron


    beams consists of several electrons moving towards phosphor
    screen. The control grids are also used in Cathode ray tube to
    control the intensity of electrons.
    The accelerating anodes are used to increase the velocity of the
    electrons they strike the phosphor screen with high speed and
    thus form a bright spot. The beam creates the luminous spot at
    the different points on the screen. This becomes easy with the
    help of deflection plates which deflect the electron beam through
    various angles.

    APPLICATIONS OF A CATHODE RAY


    OSCILLOSSCOPE
     It is used in the radio station to observe the sending and
    receiving signal properties.
     When scientists are designing a new circuit, they check
    voltage, current waveforms of each part of the new circuit
    using the cathode ray oscilloscope.
     It is used with the resonance circuit to observe the
    bandwidth, wave shape, etc.
     It is use in the medical fields and trials, it ccan be used for
    monitoring various body parameters like heart rates and
    nervous reactions.
