Abstract

A signal injecting apparatus which includes a microcontroller for generating a 1024 hertz square wave signal which is supplied through a NAND gate to a field effect transistor. When the transistor is switch on a tank circuit comprising a pair of capacitors and the primary of a signal injector coil starts oscillating and will continue to oscillate when the transistor is switch off. The power level for the signal to the cable is determined by an operator based on the operator inputs from depressing a pair of push button switches. The microcontroller, responsive to the operator inputs from the push button switches, outputs a digital word to a digital-to-analog converter that represents the required power level. The analog output signal from the digital-to-analog converter is supplied to a control loop circuit which adjust the power level by enabling and disabling the NAND gate.
