TM-11-6625-2872-14&P SECTION I GENERAL INFORMATION 1-1. DESCRIPTION. 1-2 The 8808A is a Log Level Preamplifier which produces a dc output proportional to the logarithm of the ac input signal, over an extremely wide range of signal amplitudes. The input signal dynamic range can be up to 100 dB (100,000:1). In addition, a 50 dB (320:1) span is provided for greater signal resolution 1-3. The Preamplifier is designed for use with low output impedance accelerometers, as well as vibration and aco

TM 11-6625-2872-14&P Table 1-1. Specifications ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS INPUT RESISTANCE: Single-ended to ground 1 megohm minimum. SIGNAL DETECTION: Full-wave average. 50 dB or 100 dB span, switch selected from front panel. DETECTION ACCURACY: ± 1 dB maximum error, sine wave input. MAXIMUM SENSITIVITY: 100 μV rms of sine wave corresponds to bottom scale on most sensitive range. GAIN STABILITY: Temperature: Less than 2 dB/10° C, 0° to 40° C. Line Voltage: Less than 0.5 dB, 103 to 127 v

TM 11-625-2872-14&P SECTION II INSTALLATION 2-1. PORTABLE CASE OR RACK MOUNTING. 2-2. The 8808A is operated as a self-contained instrument using an 860-500 Power Supply to furnish operating power for the preamplifier. The preamplifier power supply combination operates on a 115/230 volt 50 or 60 Hz power line. See the power supply Operating and Service Manual, IM-860-500-3. 2-3. The preamplifier power supply combination can be mounted in the 860-1400 Case for single channel benchtop opera

For use in recording systems, full scale output corresponds to the top division on the recorder chart ( approx. -2.5 volts preamp output). For use with a voltmeter or oscilloscope, full scale output is +5 volts. 3-5. LOG ZERO control sets the preamplifier output level for a bottom scale cal signal applied to the preamplifier input.

EXAMPLE 1: Minimum expected signal level 10 mnV rms. This corresponds to a -40 dBV signal level (see Table 3-1). Set the RANGE switch to the -40 dBV position. The full scale signal level is 50 dB higher: -40 dBV add +50 dB +10 dBV = Full scale input signal = 3.16 volts rms EXAMPLE 2: Minimum expected signal level .5 volt

TM 11-6625-2872-14&P SECTION IV PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION 4-1. The 8808A Log Level Preamplifier is designed to produce a logarithmic output (in decibel units) on a linear scale for a wide dynamic range (100 dB) of input signals. The wide dynamic range is achieved by the use of a combination of series and shunt successive detector stages. The block diagram (Figure 4-1) shows a simple series of successive detector stages with logarithmic compression networks, similar to those used in the 8808A. 4
