Definitions

  • the present invention relates to process and apparatus for producing electrical waves.
  • one or more oscillation circuits are connected with a purely electrically operating booster in such way that the initial waves, produced by suitable wave impulses or other means, in the oscillation circuit are led to the booster and the currents strengthened therein operate again upon the oscillation circuit, whereby the amplitude of the natural oscillations of thecircuit is increased.
  • the device can be arranged in the form of a closed oscillation circuit coupled with an aperiodic booster, as for example a cathode ray relay, the closed oscillation circuit receiving its energy from the operating current of the relay. A part of the energy of the closed oscillation circuit is again returned. to the booster relay,

  • FIG. 1 shows in a diagrammatical form an arrangement of a system in which a cathode ray relay is employed as a booster in connection with an oscillation circuit;
  • Figure 2 shows in diagrammatical form an arrangement in which the two half periods of the supplied alternating current are boosted by the use of two relays;
  • Figure 3 shows a modification of the relay in.
  • Such oxide cathodes when properly heated have the advantage that the surrounding gaseous medium is strongly ionized. These oxide filaments'are particularly useful at comparatively low temperatures and voltages.
  • An auxiliary electrode 4 consisting of a metal grid and dividing the tube into two portions, is electrically connected with the cathode 2 by the coupling coil 8 to form a circuit '7.
  • the space -between electrodes 2 and 4 forms the primary path a and the space between electrodes 2 and 3 the secondary path for the oscillations.
  • the oscillation circuit 31 comprises a condenser 29 and the two self-induction coils 30 and 11, and is coupled to the aforementioned circuit '7 by the coils 30 and 80f the two circuits.
  • This oscillationcirouit 31 stands in electrically conductive connection on the one hand with the anode 3, and on the-other hand by means of the source of current 10 with the cathode 2 of the tube 1.
  • a choking coil is shown at 12, which, with the capacity 14 is necessary when the source of curv rent 10, used for feeding the discharge tube 1', is not a battery but a direct current machine. In this case, the inductance and the capacity offset the disturbing influence of the oscillations produced by the commutator of machine 10.
  • the capacity 14 further serves to provide a good path for the high frequency current flowing in the circuit 9, comprising the elements 3, 29, 14, 2.
  • the method of operation is as follows:
  • the current from the source of current .10 can then flow through the ionized discharge chamber of the tube.
  • the oscillation circuit 31 which is connected with the tube 1, be excited to oscillate at its own period, which occurs already upon throwing in the operating current of the tube 1 supplied by source 10, for instance by closing switch or key 16, the oscillations will be impressed upon the current of the tube 1 operating as a booster relay, and be strengthened; owing to the coupling at 8, 30.
  • the strengthened oscillations which return to the oscillation circuit 31 by way of the circuit 9 increase the amplitude of oscillations in the circuit and are thenv transmitted again to the booster l with the aid or" the coupling coils 30 and 8.
  • This operation repeats itself as far as the internal resistance of the discharge tube and the tension of the source of energy 10 permit, up to a condition of equilibrium between the energy impressed upon the discharge tube 1 and the energy which is there dissipated. Moreover, the entire system is brought into a state of permanent oscillation.
  • This oscillating energy may be supplied from circuit 31 for instance to an antenna 13, connected as shown.
  • the source of current for the relay serves at the same time as the energy source for the oscillations produced.
  • Direct current from a battery or a direct current machine has heretofore been the only current proposed as the operating current for such relays.
  • the amount of the oscillating energy produced by the tube is dependent upon the strength of current flowing through the tube. In order to produce greater amounts or" energy it is therefore necessary, to supply to the tube energy at a higher potential at the anode and cathode.
  • a further embodiment of my invention employs alternating current for feeding the relay, which is brought to the necessary tension preferably by means of transformers.
  • tubes of this character operate also when alternating current is used, and that the production of oscillations occurs regularly in that half period during which a positive potential exists at the anode. In this way oscillating impulses are obtained which are separated from each other by pauses of one-half period in length.
  • relay 1 acts as a rectifier and thus permits the passage of current substantially only in one direction, the oscillations thus produced consist substantially only of direct current pulsations, even if at 10 an alternating current generator should be employed.
  • the number of high frequency oscillations produced is solely determined by the electric constants in the closed oscillation circuit 31, and
