Dec. 1, 1936. H. o. ROOSENSTEIN oscnmnou cmcurr FOR ELECTRIC vmvns Original Filed July 7, 1930 TERMINAL I r-hw\\\\\\\\\\\\\ HAW/Ml INVENTOR HANS (mower!

IL, Berlin, Germany, a corporation of Germany many July 6, 1929 For various technical purposes, for instance,

wave-meters and for maintaining the frequency of transmitters at a constant value, oscillatory possessing very low damping are required. What is used therefor are electrical circuits involving feeble damping, quartz crystals, etc.

When recourse is had to circuits with low damping the radiation resistance or characteristic impedance plays a part in the case of short waves. In order to prevent such radiation of the circuit it is general practice to accommodate the circuit within a shielded box. By virtue of induction from the oscillation circuit there are then set up in the said box currents of such size, sense and phase that the electromagnetic field outside the box is almost entirely suppressed or neutralized. However, these induction currents involve losses whereby the advantage obtained is diminished.

According to this invention no currents specially Fig. 1 shows an embodiment which is readilypracticable in technical respect. The arrangement comprises a hollow cylinder Z consisting of metal upon the bottom surface B of which the inductance S in the form of a metallic rod is conductively fastened. A capacity K which is here shown to.consist of a concentric ring condenser, completes the oscillation circuit. Terminals RI and R2 serve for connecting the circuit to the apparatus wherein the circuit is to be used.

Owing to the concentric arrangement here resorted to, all parts are uniformly passed by the current, so that the losses are minimized.

The circuit shown in Fig. 1 is little suited for push-pull schemes for the reason that the ground capacities of the two condenser coats are of unequal size.

A modification of the arrangement which is free from this drawback is illustrated in Fig. 2. In this scheme the inductance in the form of rod S at both ends is provided with capacities KI and K2, and it-is supported at a point which often is located at the middle of the rod. At this point the rod can be mounted in a way either associated with the cylinder Z or insulated therefrom. In this latter case it is a suitable scheme in many arrangements to provide a conductive connection PQ at this point P with some other convenient circuit elements located outside the cylinder Z. What is particularly referred to here is the case where the circuit constitutes the grid circuit in a push-pull transmitter, and where the connection PQ serves for allowing the grid current to leak away.

It goes without saying that all such ways and means as are known in the prior art for cooling may be used in the circuit.
