Abstract

476,935. Television. BLUMLEIN, A. D. May 15, 1936, No. 13795. [Classes 40 (iii) and 40 (v)] The transmitted wave 4, which represents successive lines of the picture, is interrupted by line-synchronizing signals 5 extending in one direction, and signals 7 for the derivation of gain-controlling potentials extending in the opposite direction, beyond the normal amplitudes of the vision signals 4. The double pulses are rectangular and the signal 7 is equal in duration to the signal 5. Frame signals 6 in the whiter-than-white sense are' interrupted by line-synchronizing signals. To produce such a wave form, picture signals, interrupted at the line and frame frequencies, are applied to a valve 8 with its output combined with that of a second valve 11, to which pulses at the line frequency are applied, and the combined output is passed to a third valve 14 the output from which is combined with that from a fourth valve 17, which is also supplied with pulses at the line frequency but delayed with respect to the first set. Automatic gain control, Fig. 5. A receiver includes high or intermediate-frequency amplifiers 22 .. 25, a picture-signal rectifier 28, and a rectifier 36 for providing gain-controlling potentials to the high-frequency amplifiers from the pulses 7. Part of the output of the amplifier 25 is also fed to a further amplifier 26, the output of which is maintained constant by automatic-gain potentials of selected value. The resistance 37 and capacity 38 in the output of the diode 36 have a time constant equal to the period of several lines. The rectifier 28 is coupled through a resistancecapacity circuit 34, 39, with a time constant longer than the period of a line, to the pair of diodes 35, 36, which give an output voltage proportional to the total amplitude of the signals 5, 7. The circuit 34, 39 in combination with the first diode 35 restores the directcurrent level of the signals. Specifications 436,809 and 446,663 are referred to.
