Question

A time base should have _________

(a) non-linearity

(b) ramp relationship

(c) linearity

(d) unit step relationship

This question was addressed to me by my school principal while I was bunking the class.

The above asked question is from Principle of Time Base Generator topic in division Oscilloscopes of Electrical Measurements

Answer 1

Correct choice is (c) linearity

The best I can explain: In a Cathode Ray Oscilloscope, a time base generator must have a linear relationship. Linearity of the order of more than 1 % across the cathode ray tube can be obtained by making use of a time base generator.
