B4500 – TRANSMISSION LINE DEMONSTRATOR
General: This trainer is a useful aid for the demonstration and study of the characteristics of various types and conditions of transmission lines. The simulator consists of two associated signalprocessing chains, each one working on opposite directions of the line. This allows the unit to realistically reproduce the behavior of an actual transmission line, while having the advantage that the major transmission parameters can be controlled, for improved didactic efficiency. Each signal-processing chain consists of a socalled “Bucket-Brigade” arrangement of charge-storing cells. Each one passes its charge to the next on a common clock signal command. The simulated line is sub-divided into 12 equallength segments. Each segment is provided with BARGRAPH Led indicators, which display the actual algebraic sum of two signal voltages related to the two transmission directions. This is the signal level at that particular point in the line.
Features: – – –
Selectable frequency Clock Generator, used to simulate different line propagation times and lengths (L, 2L, 8L). HOLD key, for manual operation in steps, for specific testing purposes. Sine wave and pulse test signal generator, with adjustable frequency, width and amplitude. The frequency range for the sine section is from 0,1Hz to 20Hz (approx).
–
Attenuation control which is continuously adjustable to simulate lines with different characteristics. Termination elements are available, and can be connected by jumper cables to the line output, to allow the study of various conditions:

B4510 – COAX TRANSMISSION LINE TRAINER
General: This trainer allows the investigate and study of all the aspects of propagation of electrical waves along coaxial transmission lines. The B4510 is similar in conception to the B4511, which deals with cable pair lines, but covers the subject of coaxial lines. The study subjects allowed by the two are also similar. The examination of these two panels allows the student to gain a complete view of the use, characteristics and limitations of the two transmission media. The panel consists of a 100m long coaxial cable, which is sub-divided in four separate 25m long trunk sections. Each section can be studied separately or interconnected, to produce lines of different lengths. The panel also includes two wire-wound potentiometers (100 ), which can be used to create various load conditions for the line.
The clear component layout synoptic and rugged construction renders this unit particularly ideal for the most demanding of classroom conditions.

B4511 – CABLE PAIR TRANSMISSION LINE MODEL
General:
cularly ideal for the most demanding of classroom conditions.
This trainer allows the investigate and study of all the aspects of propagation of electrical waves along cable pair transmission lines. The B4511 is similar in conception to the B4510, which deals with coaxial lines, but covers the subject of cable pair lines.
Features:
Note that while the B4510 consists of an actual coaxial transmission line, the B4511 is a line simulator. The behaviour of each cable pair trunk is simulated by electronic components, which eliminates the need to use bulky and impractical real lines and facilitates the use of the panel in the classroom. The B4511 contains two simulated line models, each one consisting of 3 sections. Each section of the panel can be studied separately or interconnected, to produce complex lines. The examination of these two panels allows, the student to gain a complete view of the use, characteristics and limitations of the two transmission media. The clear component layout synoptic and rugged construction renders this unit parti-
