Definitions

  • An object L of the invention is to provide .an oscilla- 5 tion generator, oscillating directly into an antenna or other load circuit of variable impedance so arranged that variations of the antenna or load impedance have a very small effect on the frequency of oscillation.
  • the oscillation generator is s0 arranged that the frequency of the output current is substantially independent of said output current or variations in the impedance of the output circuit. This is accomplished by providing an anode, which constitutes the anode for an auxiliary oscil lating circuit, but also functions as a grid with respect to a principal anode connected to the main oscillation circuit.
  • the invention also comprises novel electrode arrangements adapted to be utilized in tubes for carrying out the invention.
  • the system herein described may be regarded as an oscillation generator connected to an amplifier which amplifies the generated oscillations, the oscillation generator and the amplifier being combined in one vacuum tube and having a common cathode.
  • the output circuit of the oscillation generator may be treated as the input circuit of the amplifier.
  • the generation of undamped electrical oscillations by vacuum tubes becomes more diflicult in proportion as the antenna is more strongly damped. At'the same time the total efliciency of the oscillation generation is greatly decreased.
  • the present invention deals with an apparatus which will avoid this condition.
  • the cause of this condition was recognized to be the comparatively ineflicient operation of the grid of the vacuum tube in the common arrangement.
  • the basic idea of the invention is the use of a means for increasing the grid effect beyond that caused by the feed back.
  • Fig. 1 shows a space discharge oscillator embodying the invention.
  • Fig. 2 represents a modified arrangement of the electrodes of I the space discharge tube.
  • Fig.3 shows an other arrangement of the space discharge tube electrodes.
  • Fig. 4 shows a different form of oscillation generating. system embodying the invention.
  • the grid 3 is excited by the auxiliary anode or output circuit 10 which may include the resonant circuit 11 and thereby induce a potential upon the grid by means of the input circuit including'the coil 12.
  • a part of the chief anode battery may serve with advantage as the battery of the auxiliary anode circuit, but the heating battery or a special source of voltage may also be used for'this purpose. If the anode source Is not constant, but an alternating current machine, a transformer may be used, so that the voltage of the auxiliary anode circuit can even be chosen larger than that of the chief anode circuit. 2
  • the method of operation is as follows:
  • Oscillations of the frequency determined by the resonant frequency of the tuned cir-' cult 11 are generated in the auxiliary anode circuit 10 in the usual manner by means of the anode battery 6 and the feed back 12.
  • the auxiliary anode system can always be chosen with a view to the greatest possible grid effect, thatis with circuit 11 as free as possible from damping and transforma- 105 .tion to high grid potential- Hence great It is advisable to arrange the auxiliary anode inside the main anode as shown 1n 'Fig. 2.
  • the auxiliary-anode can itself be constructed as a id and can act as such for the main anod d. (cf. Fig. 3).
  • a feed back with the antenna is formed by means of coil 13. If the antenna is slightly out of resonance with respect to circuit 11, beats are obtained. I
