Abstract

878,349. Valve pulse generating circuits. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES Ltd. Feb. 21, 1958 [Feb. 26, 1957], No. 5713/58. Class 40(6) The voltage/time integral of a pulse from a blocking oscillator is controlled by an electromagnetic device having a low and a high impedance state connected across the secondary winding of the feedback transformer. Fig. 1 shows a free-running blocking oscillator in which the area of the output pulse is controlled by a saturable reactor SR comprising a tape-wound core of ferrite, permalloy or a silicon or nickel alloy preferably with a rectangular hysterisis loop. The normal voltage/time pulse integral is more than half the saturation flux/turns product, The anode current builds up rapidly due to the regenerative feedback until the reactor SR saturates, preventing further increase in current and regeneratively cutting off the valve. During the pulse, D1 clamps the grid to earth, the voltage induced at point A charging capacitor C to a voltage -VB so that the valve remains cut off until C has discharged via R and R1. The diodes D1, D2 stabilize the pulse recurrence frequency and amplitude. Since the pulse time integral is also stabilized by the saturable reactor SR, the duration is effectively stabilized. The sawtooth waveform across C may be used as a time base. Modifications.-In Fig. 4 (not shown) the output is developed across a cathode resistor and a different biasing arrangement is used. Fig. 5 shows a blocking oscillator in which the pulse duration is determined by switching in one of saturable reactors SR1, SR2, SR3. The amplitude is controlled by adjustment of tappings on the source GDB. Continuous control of duration may be obtained by adjustment of a D.C. bias on the core of the reactor SR as in Fig. 8, which shows the reactor split into two cores having a common D.C. biasing winding DCW. The D.C. bias may be controlled by a current proportional to a slowly varying magnitude to compensate for variation in said magnitude. The amplitude-controlling source -VB may be replaced by a Zener diode. The amplitudecontrolling diode D2 may be replaced by a gas tube or a varistor.
