Abstract

367,790. Generating and amplifying high-frequency oscillations. HABANN, E., 44, Stargarderstrasse, Berlin. Aug. 13, 1930, No. 24262. Convention date, Aug. 16, 1929. [Class 40 (v).] A material such as galena, which in contact with an iron wire has a negative resistance characteristic, is reduced to fine powder and placed between electrodes, the pressure of which is adjusted so as to produce a negative resistance characteristic by the loose contact between the individual grains. The size of the granules is determined experimentally, and is stated to be below 0À1 mm. The pressure of the electrodes necessary is stated to vary directly with the volume of the substance. As an example, with a column 1 sq. mm. in area and 1 cm. long, the pressure should be in the neighbourhood of 300 grms. per sq. em- A mixture of lead sulphide with a small proportion of copper sulphide is fused or sintered as disclosed in Specification 360,920, and then powdered. Metals, such as iron or molybdenum, which give a negative resistance characteristic in contact with the substance used may be added. About one-third of its volume of a neutral powder of the same chemical nature, such as antimony trisulphide, is then added and the mixture ground up and pressed firmly between two electrodes. The pressure in this case may be about ten times that required when the neutral powder is absent. The resistance powder may be immersed in a non- conducting liquid such as oil, benzol, &c. This liquid or the surrounding gas is preferably subjected to a pressure higher than atmospheric. The resistance may be cooled by embedding a number of metal discs in the mass so as to project at their edges as cooling ribs, which may dip into oil. Resistances made in accordance with the invention are applicable for the generation and amplification of electric oscillations, and may be employed as repeaters in telephone lines. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 103,046 and 292,110, [both in Class 37, Electricity, Measuring &c.].
