The BODE FREQUENCY SHIFTER 1630 shifts the frequency spectrum of a given
signal by either a fixed amount, or one that varies using control voltages. Its uses
include tonal modification, feedback suppression and frequency modulation.

SHIFT CONTROL – use this control to set the amount of fixed frequency shift,
according to the setting of the Scale control (2). Turning the control CW shifts
the frequency upwards; CCW shifts down. Note that frequencies cannot be
shifted below 0 Hz, so when using a low frequency input once 0 Hz downshift
is reached the down shift will wrap around to become an up shift.
SCALE – use this switch to set the scale for the frequency shift. The available
options are:
0 – no shifting takes place, Shift control (1) and CTRL inputs are inactive.
This mode should be used to disable frequency shifting, or for calibration.
EXP – shifting takes place on an exponential scale, from +2 Hz to
+2 kHz, as marked on the Exponential scale, providing a 1 V/Octave shift
which can be controlled using the CTRL inputs (7).
5 – Gives a linear shift of +5 Hz CW or -5 Hz CCW.
50 – Gives a linear shift of +50 Hz CW or -50 Hz CCW.
500 – Gives a linear shift of +500 Hz CW or -500 Hz CCW.
5k – Gives a linear shift of +5 kHz CW or -5 kHz CCW.
SQUELCH THRESHOLD – use this control to suppress the output of the
frequency shifter when the input level falls below the desired threshold, from
0 dBu to -60 dBu. When the squelch circuit is passing a signal then the LED
above the control will be lit. The squelch control can be disabled by removing
the jumper between pins 1 and 2 of the 12 pin test header on the underside of
the circuit board (see below).
