Abstract

A trimming circuit for a resonating circuit has two varactor diodes connected in series in opposed directions. They are both in parallel to the inductance of the oscillating circuit, while one (C1) is in parallel to the trimmer capacitor (C2). A control d.c. voltage (U) is supplied to the diodes via a high resistance or choke (D). The capacitance of the diodes is adjustable. The capacitor (C2) is switched in parallel to the diode whose switching capacitance has the smaller effect. The control voltage-resonance frequency characteristic in the upper frequency range does not so sharply fall off in dependence on the trimmer capacitance.

Description

Trimmschaltung für einen SchwingkreisTrimming circuit for a resonant circuit

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Trimmschaltung fUr einen Uber Varaktordioden abstimmbaren Schwingkreis laut Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches.The invention relates to a trimming circuit for a varactor diode tunable resonant circuit according to the preamble of the claim.

Bei Hochfrequenzschwingkreisen, insbesondere Oszillatorschwingkreisen, die Uber Varaktordioden abstimmbar sind, ist es bekannt, parallel zur Schwingkreisinduktivität zwei gegeneinander in Serie geschaltete Varaktordioden vorzusehen. Hierdurch werden die Amplituden von geradzahligen Oberwellen verringert. ebenso die Abhingigkeit der Resonanzfrequenz von der Schwingspannung und es wird außerdem die Aussteuerfähigkeit erhöht. Der Abgleich solcher Schwingkreise erfolgt in zwei Stuten und zwar wird der gewünschte untere Frequenz-Sollwert durch Trimmen der Schwingkreisinduktivitat eingestellt und der obere Frequenz-Sollwert durch einen Trimmkondensator, der parallel zur Schwingkreisinduktivität und damit auch parallel zu den beiden in Serie geschalteten Varaktordioden geschaltet Ist oder der an einer Anzapfung der Induktivität angeschaltet ist. Diese bekannte Anschaltung des Trimmkondensators besitzt den Nachteil, daß die Abstimmsteilheit, d.h die Änderung der Resonanzfrequenz des Schwingkreises bei Änderung der Varaktorkapazitaten an der oberen Frequenzgrenze sehr stark abhängig ist von der Größe der Kapazität des Trimmkondensators. Je größer die Trimmkapazität wird, um so geringer wird die Abstimmsteilheit an der oberen Frequenzgrenze. Die untere Frequenzgrenze ist hierdurch wesentlich geringer betroffen. Mit zunehmender Trimmkapazität wird daher auch die Steuerspannungs-Resonanzirequenz-Kennlinle im oberen Bereich, in welchem die bisher zur Verfügung stehenden Varaktordioden nur noch sehr geringe Kapazitätsänderungen pro Volt erzielen, immer mehr gekrdmat.In the case of high-frequency resonant circuits, in particular oscillator resonant circuits, which can be tuned via varactor diodes, it is known, parallel to the resonant circuit inductance to provide two varactor diodes connected in series against one another. This will be reduces the amplitudes of even harmonics. likewise the dependency the resonance frequency of the oscillation voltage and it is also the modulation capability elevated. The adjustment of such oscillating circles takes place in two mares and that is the desired lower frequency setpoint by trimming the resonant circuit inductance set and the upper frequency setpoint by a trimming capacitor running in parallel to the resonant circuit inductance and thus also parallel to the two connected in series Varactor diodes is switched or switched on at a tap of the inductance is. This known connection of the trimming capacitor has the disadvantage that the tuning slope, i.e. the change in the resonance frequency of the oscillating circuit at Change in the varactor capacitance at the upper frequency limit is very dependent is on the size of the capacitance of the trimming capacitor. The bigger the trimming capacity becomes, the lower the tuning slope on the upper one becomes Frequency limit. This affects the lower frequency limit to a much lesser extent. As the trimming capacity increases, the control voltage resonance frequency characteristic also becomes in the upper area, in which the previously available varactor diodes achieve only very small changes in capacity per volt, more and more krdmat.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Trimischaltung für einen Schwingkreis dieser Art zu schafen, welche diese Nachteile vermeidet.It is the object of the invention to provide a tri-circuit for an oscillating circuit of this kind that avoids these disadvantages.

Diese Aufgabe wird ausgehend von einer Trimmschaltung laut Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches durch dessen kennzeichnende Merkmale gelöst.This task is based on a trim circuit according to the generic term of the claim solved by its characterizing features.

Eine erfindungsgeiäße Trimmschaltung besitzt eine wesentlich geringere Abhängigkeit der Abstimmsteilheit von der Triinkapazitat und damit wird die Steuerspannungs-Resonanzfrequenz-Kennlinie im oberen Frequenzbereich auch wesentlich geringer in Abhängigkeit von der Trimmkapazität gekrümmt. Ein mit einer erfindungsgemäßen Trimmschaltung ausgestatteter Schwingkreis kann deshalb mit wesentlich geringeren Fertigungstoleranzen hergestellt und abgeglichen werden. Dies ist besonders wichtig fUr iitlaufende Vorkreise beispielsweise bei Hochfrequenzempfängern, bei der serienmäßigen Herstellung von Abstimmskalen filr solche Schwingkreise, auch für Phasenregelkreise von phasensynchronisierten Oszillatoren, die um so schneller einschwingen, Je besser der Sollwert und Istwert der Kennlinie übereinstimmen.A trim circuit according to the invention has a much smaller one Dependence of the tuning slope on the triink capacity and thus the control voltage-resonance frequency characteristic also significantly lower in the upper frequency range, depending on the trimming capacity curved. A resonant circuit equipped with a trimming circuit according to the invention can therefore be manufactured and adjusted with significantly lower manufacturing tolerances will. This is particularly important for running pre-circuits, for example with High-frequency receivers, in the serial production of tuning dials filr such resonant circuits, also for phase-locked loops of phase-synchronized oscillators, which settle the faster, the better the setpoint and actual value of the characteristic curve to match.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand einer schematischen Zeichnung an einem AusfUhrungsbeispiel näher erläutert.The invention is illustrated below with reference to a schematic drawing explained in more detail using an exemplary embodiment.

Figur 1 zeigt das Prinzipschaltbild eines üblichen Schwingkreises, beispielsweise eines Hochfrequenz-Oszillatorschwing kreises, bestehend aus einer Schwingkreisinduktivität L und zwei gegeneinander in Serie parallel hierzu geschalteten Varaktordioden Cl, die über eine Steuergleichspannung U, die über einen hohen Widerstand oder eine Drossel D zugeführt wird, in ihrem Kapazitätswert abstimmbar sind. Gemäß der Erfindung ist ein Triaikondensator C2 nicht mehr parallel zur Spule L sondern nur zu einer der Varaktordioden C1 geschaltet. Hlerdurch werden die eingangs geschilderten Vorteile erzielt. Der Trimmkondensator C2 wird zu derjenigen Varaktordiode parallelgeschaltet, bei welcher seine Schaltkapazität den geringst sb6-lichten Einfluß besitzt. Für Schwingkreise, die im Sinne des Ausführungsbeispiels mit ihrem unteren Ende an Masse liegen, ist es vorteilhaft, im Sinne des Ausführungsbeispiels den Trimmkond@nsator C2 parallel zur unteren Varaktordiode zu schalten, da hier durch die Schaltkapazität des Trimmkondensators am wenigsten in die Gesamtschaltung mit eingeht.Figure 1 shows the basic circuit diagram of a conventional oscillating circuit, For example, a high-frequency oscillator circuit, consisting of a Resonant circuit inductance L and two connected in parallel to each other in series Varactor diodes Cl, which have a DC control voltage U, which has a high resistance or a choke D is supplied, can be tuned in their capacitance value. According to According to the invention, a tri-capacitor C2 is no longer parallel to the coil L, but rather connected only to one of the varactor diodes C1. This is how the above-mentioned Benefits achieved. The trimming capacitor C2 is connected in parallel to that varactor diode at which its switching capacity has the least sb6-light influence. For Resonant circuits, which in the sense of the embodiment with their lower end to ground lie, it is advantageous in the sense of the exemplary embodiment to use the trimming capacitor C2 to be connected in parallel to the lower varactor diode, because here by the switching capacitance of the trimming capacitor is least part of the overall circuit.
