Abstract
A repetitive type transient analyzer suitable for the measurement of response time of magnetic amplifiers and other various types of pulse-width controlled switching amplifiers is described. It is a simple and reliable electronic device which displays the transient response on the cathode-ray oscilloscope. The response time in cycles is obtained directly by counting the number of cycles referring to the time markers which indicate the phase angle corresponding to the response time of the amplifier under measurement.
A magnetic pulse counter is utilized to produce a stable repeated switching transient synchronized with the a.c. source frequency.
