Abstract

555,526. Frequency modulation. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd. March 28, 1942, No. 4158. Convention date, Nov. 13, 1940. [Class 40 (v)] Relates to frequency-modulation radio receivers of the kind described in Specification 489,636 in which the detected signal is fed back to modulate in degenerative phase the frequency of the local oscillator, and consists in providing means for maintaining a substantially uniform amplitude of IF carrier despite variations in incoming carrier amplitude. The incoming wave passes through a frequency changer 42 and IF amplifier 44 to two parallel-connected amplifiers 56, 57 which have their output circuits 52, 54 tuned above and below the true IF., the coils of each tuned circuit being closely coupled. The tuned circuits feed rectifiers 58, 59 and load resistances 64, 65, and the detected signal appearing across the joint resistances is fed in push-pull to amplifiers 68, 69 and to the signal reproducer. The detected signal is also fed back through a network 49 of the kind described in Specification 514,567 to modulate the frequency of the local oscillator 43 in such sense as to reduce the frequency deviation of the incoming wave. Automatic tuning correction is also effected by smoothed D.C. voltages derived from the resistances 64, 65 and applied through the leads 73 to control the local oscillator. Changes of amplitude in the wave applied to the frequency discriminator are detected across resistances 81, 82 connected in series between earth and the junction of the resistances 64, 65. Slow changes are applied through a delay diode 84 and resistance 86 to modify the gain of the frequency-changer 42 and amplifier 44. More rapid changes are substantially eliminated by negative feed-back provided by resistance 81 and stabilizing network 89. The receiver may have two frequency-changing stages, the frequencycontrol being effected at the second stage, and the amplitude control at the first. Amplitude control may be effected by a limiter.
