Abstract

II. PURPOSE OF THESIS

The foregoing comments pointed out the facts that: 1) little has been done to show the similarity between the multivibrator and the RC amplifier with degenerative feedback; 2) the existing treatment of the conditions under which a linear relationship between pulse duration and applied grid voltage will exist does not give results which are in very good agreement with the values used in a practical circuit.

It is the purpose of this study to fill in these gaps by showing that the equations resulting from an analysis of the cathode-coupled multivibrator are, in general, those of the degenerative amplifier multiplied by an additional factor which compensates for the heavily biased operation, and that the conditions for a nearly linear relation between pulse duration and applied grid voltage depend upon a rather complicated function of the circuit parameters which does not allow a general solution, but which does allow values to be computed for any particular case.
