Abstract

599,963. Valve generating circuits. ERICSSON TELEPHONES, Ltd., and HOPWOOD, F. W. Nov. 24, 1945, No. 31737. [Class 40 (v)] In a thermionic valve oscillator having positive and negative feedback paths, the amount of negative feedback is controlled by a non-linear impedance which is connected across the secondary of a transformer, the primary of which is connected to the output circuit. The use of the transformer, which is arranged to step up the current through the non-linear impedance, enables the non-linear characteristic to have increased effect. Fig. 3 illustrates one form of the invention, comprising an amplifying valve V with positive feedback supplied through tuned circuit X. Negative feedback is provided in the cathode lead by means of the reflected resistance in the primary coil of transformer T arising from the non-linear resistance R connected in the secondary circuit. The resistance R may be a metal filament lamp, the resistance of which varies as the current flowing. Fig. 4 shows an oscillator circuit in which feedback is supplied through .a Wheatstone bridge network having a resonant crystal C in one arm and a transformer T coupling the non-linear resistance element R in another armof the bridge. The bridge circuit is regarded as comprising a positive and a negative feedback path, the amount of negative feedback being controlled by non-linear resistance R. A proof is given that optimum conditions obtain when alphaR0Gia = 1, where alpha is the resistance/ current slope of the non-linear resistance, Ro is the effective value of the resistance at zero current, G is the mutual conductance of the amplifier, and ia is the output current, and the use of the transformer enables this equation to be satisfied. The transformer T should have a wide frequency response and minimum phase shift. The negative feedback connection may be taken either from the primary coil of the transformer, when the turns ratio n is proved to be 1 /< 3>#alphaR0Gia, or from the secondary when the turns ratio is given as 1 /alphaR0Gia.
