Definitions

  • My invention relates broadly to radio transmission systems, and more particularly to a method of suppressing the carrier wave "frequency in radio transmission;
  • @ne of the objects of my invention is to provide a method of suppressing the transmission of the unmodulatcd component of the carrier wave botlrdurinc' and intermediate the signaling or modulating periods.

  • a third object of my invention is to pro ride a signaling system particnlarl y adapted for modulating frequencies covering the voice range and the musical scale, in which. the unmodulated carrier frequency component may be suppressed at the transmitting station by circuit arrangements which 1 pro ride associated with the modulating system.

  • Still another object of my invention is to provided a multi-phase source of high trequency oscillations arranged to be modulator by a source of energy whereby signaling ⁇ ; energy may be impressed upon a radiating antenna system or a carrier wave line wire system only during the modulation pd 'riocls without transmission of carrier wave intermediate the modulation periods.
  • a still further object of my invention is to provide a system of telephone communication wherein a three phase frequency source is employed establishing equal high frequency Voltages having different phases which are balanced in such manner that in the absence of modulation, current will not flow in the load circuit, but being arranged in such manner that when modulation takes place the balanced condition of the three phase source becomes disturbed and completely modulated high frequency current from the main source appears in the load circuit, thereby cnahling'the transmission of energy during periods of modulation while the umnodulated carrier frequency component is prevented at all times from reaching the load.
  • My invention may be applied toyarious types of carrier Wave transmission systems, that is, systems which relate to the trans mission of signals by radiation from an antenna system through space for reception at any number of outlying stations or the transmission of signals over line wire systoms, such as telephone, electric light, power, and other lines for reception at receiving stations associated with the line at various points.

When modulation takes place, by voice, for example, at microphone 16, the balanced condition is disturbed by virtue ,o'l change in characteristics of tube 10 brought about by impressing an audio frequency voltage in the grid circuit, and a pulse oi high frequency current of the form given by equation 9 will appear in the antenna circuit.
