AV8073 - Tone Burst generator

 
Connects to a sine-wave oscillator (like HM8037), delivers a burst of 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64 periods with variable pause.
The circuit diagram is a small modification of a design I made in 1973 which can be found HERE

Oscilloscope (Hameg HM1508-2)


With variable attenuation set at mid position.


Using external gate signal, TTL-levels from a function generator (like Hameg HM8030-6) enables constant burst and pause length regardless of input frequency. (Which should be at least ten times higher than the gate frequency). Burst start synchronized to input signal.
