ARRANGEMENT FOR GENERATING AUDIBLE FREQUENCIES IN HIGH-FREQUENCY SIGNALING. i
Application filed. June '5, 1924, $eria1 No.
My invention relates to an arrangement for generating audible frequencies for modulating a carrier Wave in signaling systems.
It has for its object to provide such an arrangement which will produce an audible frequency by means of two circuits, one of which contains a microphone and the other a telephone, the circuits being electrically coupled and the microphone and telephone being acoustically coupled.
Another object of the invention is to provide a similar arrangement employing an additional heterodyning circuit which can be usedto changethe frequency of the audible Other objects will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the following description and claims when considered. with the accompanying drawing, in which the single figure represents a circuit embodying 'my invention. I
There are already transmitting arrangements for wireless telegraphy which use radiofrequency vacuum tube transmitters, on the grid circuits of which are superimposed alternating currents of audible frequency. The generators of audible frequency have been, till now, buzzers, vacuum tubes oscillating in an audible frequency, commutators of direct current dynamos, the said com mutators consisting of a great number of segments, and various other devices.
All these known arrangements require a greater or smaller quantity of energy, for the generation of audible frequency and furthermore complicated and expensive auxiliary apparatus.
The present invention relates to a transmitter of audible frequency, which is generatedin a very simple manner. The invention uses for this purpose the known acoustic phenomenon which occurs if a circuit containing a telephone is suitably coupled to a microphone circuit and the microphone is acoustically coupled to a telephone. Under these conditions an intensive musical note is generated, the frequency of which depends on the natural vibration of the telephone.
The drawing shows an application of this invention'which may be employed for any telephone connection using separately excited or self-excited transmitting vacuum tubes. A is the aerial and iscoupled to the 717,932, and in Germany .lune' 27, 1923.
oscillator tube It. The aerial circuit is grounded through C01l'9 for a purpose explained hereinafter.
The output circuit of the tubes B oomprises condenser 1, coil 2 and condenser The input circuit is connected across condenser 3. The plate current of tube R is supplied by means of B battery 4L through coil 5 and thermionic'tube R which tube operates as a variable resistance in the plate circuit of tube R, the resistance of tube R being controlled by the potential on its grid. Connected to the input circuit of thetube it is coil 6. Coupled to coil 6 is coil which is in circuit with microphone M, battery 8, and key S, comprising the microphone circuit. 7
Acoustically coupled'to microphone M is telephone T. Telephone T is in an aperiodic telephone circuit, which is coupled to coil 9 in the antenna circuit by means of coil 7. In this circuit is also a. rectifier K. Connectedacross telephone T is condenser The acoustioand electrical coupling of the telephone and microphone circuits gives rise to a sustained audible oscillation, the frequency of which is determined by the acoustic properties and arrangement of the microphone hi and telephone T. Key S is operated according to the signal it is desired to transmit which may be in the form of the usual Morse characters.
' It will be easily understood that when the key S is operated anv audible frequency is generated which is impressed upon the grid circuit of tube R and va 'ies the resistance in the plate circuit of tube R thereby Varying the amplitude of the carrier wave generated by the oscillating tube R in accordance with the signal which is being sent. i
It will be easily understood that the a'udible oscillations are generated, when key S is closed by the regenerative effect of the modulated carrier wave being fed back into the telephone circuit by means f coupling coils 7 and 9. The modulated carrier wave, after being rectified by rectifier K is impressed on telephone T in phase with the audible oscillations which are being generated by telephone T, and reenforces'them.
If it is desired to vary the audible frequency this can be done by means of a heterodyne circuit U connected in parallel to the telephone T. The oscillations of the heterodyning circuit Will then be combined With the sustained oscillations of the microphone-telephone circuits to produce the new and desired audible frequency.
It Will easily be understood by those skilled in the art that the sending key S may be in the telephone circuit instead of in the microphone circuit Having described a single embodiment of my invention, 1 am entitled to all modifications thereof as fairly come Within the scope of the following claims.
