Abstract
A method and apparatus for generating a sweep signal, the frequency of which is accurately known at all times during the sweep cycle. The beginning and ending frequencies are fixed by a phase-locked loop and the resulting error correction voltages are stored. During the sweep, these error voltages determine the offset and slope of the D.C. voltage ramp signal which governs the frequency of the sweep oscillator.
