Abstract

845,267. Non-linear valve circuits. METROPOLITAN-VICKERS ELECTRICAL CO. Ltd. Oct. 24, 1956 [Oct. 20, 1955], No. 30048/55. Class 40(6). [Also in Group XXXVI.] A non-linear circuit for simulating the response of a physical system to an input stimulus, and especially where the speed or time constant of the response varies with the level of the stimulus or of the response, comprises a direct-coupled valve amplifier provided with a negative feedback loop having an adjustable time constant and means for automatically adjusting the time constant in accordance with the signal level applied to the circuit. The input signal V t is applied through resistor R 2 to the grid of valve V 1 the output from which is coupled back to the grid through cathode-follower V 2 . D.C. supply 2 and resistor R1 and capacitor C connected in parallel. In order to reduce the time constant of the feedback loop in steps at predetermined levels of the output signal V 0 , resistors R 3 and R 4 which are connected in series with respective diodes of the double diode V 3 , are connected successively in parallel with resistor R 1 as the signal level increases so as to overcome the bias applied to the diodes from potentiometers Pi, P 2 respectively, the potentials across the potentiometers being stabilized by discharge tubes V 4 , V 5 . As a result, the time constant of the feed back circuit decreases as the level of the input signal is increased and the response of the circuit to an input step signal becomes more rapid, Figs. 3b, 3c (not shown) while for steady-state conditions the input/output characteristic of the circuit is such that the incremental gain is greatest for small values of V i and V 0 , as shown in Fig. 3a.
