Output resembles square wave, spikes with same input frequency. What is the problem ? Note: For high frequencies output is equal to the input. (No problem)

You want DC coupling, not AC.

Output is approximately 0.5 Hz square wave on DSO (300mV p-p). If the input is 0.5 Hz square wave (2V p-p). Output is spike with frequency 0.5 Hz (300mV p-p).

You are using AC coupling but for low frequencies like that you must use DC coupling. It should be an adjustment on the scope controls. Brian.
