The circ it ofFig. 1V employs'anelectron tube f .t'eferrmg p w i V having an anode or plate P, a filament or cath- P d m between" l Q Q t 't gnd and 50 ode K, and a control electrode or grid G. The fi d ij q se t ed ir q T951330 tube is energized from suitable potential sources tlvely, a re en e br ihe Vector applied over conductorsl-dinclusive extending impedances Z1, Z2 and Z3, can be Shown that respectively to the grid,-cathode andanode. the following equality represents the necessary Grid conductor l includes a high frequency and sufiicient condition requisite to the produc- 55 blockingelement I1, and: the secondary of a transtion and maintenance of sustained oscillations: a former T1, the primary of which is connected to j V i a modulating element M, such as a microphone 224.23) transmitter, energized from the source connected v 0 to cathode conductors 23. Anode conductor 4 where g and [L are respectively the mutual con seen that Equation (1) is equivalent to a system 'of two equations determining the frequency f and the value of mutual conductance g at which oscillations can be maintained. It is obvious from the problem that the values for f and g thus derived from the fundamental equation must be real, positive quantities if oscillationsareto be sustained. Moreover, the value of the mutual conductance g required must not exceed the maximum mutual conductance gm of the tube.
Replacement of the generalized impedances of Equation .(1) by the specific inter-electrodeimpedances of Fig. 2 results, neglecting higher order terms in R, in the following expression-requisite to the maintenance of oscillations withthe circuit .of Fig. 2: a
where Rd denotes the dissipative component ofthe impedance Z2 at the oscillation frequency.
Examination of Equation (2) shows that under no circumstances. can the circuit of Fig. 2 be made to oscillate if the capacity ratio the tube. From Equation (2) We therefore derive the result, verified by experiment, and contrary to what has heretofore been understood, that oscil- 4 0 lations cannot be maintained with the Fig. 2 type of circuit, even for exceedingly large values of mutual conductance 9, unless the capacity ratio is less than the magnification factor [L of the tube. Further examination of Equation (2) reveals that for a tube of given constants the. maximum capacity ratio a Q C3 at which oscillations will be sustained depends upon the dissipative resistance of the inductive connection and upon the oscillation frequency. For a given tube, the relationship may for some purposes best be shown by the following inequality derived from Equation (2) I where K is a constant dependentupon' the internal capacities and mutual conductance of the tube, and f the oscillation frequency in cycles per second. In order therefore for the circuit to sustain oscillations, the capacity ratio must be less than the magnification factor [L of the tube by an amount which is proportional to the product of the resistance Rd and the square of the frequency.
From Equation (2) one derives the additional general conclusions that conditions favorable to efficient oscillation production are improved to the extent that the ratio of capacities C1 to C3 is decreased below And again that the limiting frequency of oscillation may be increased by increase of the maximum mutual conductance gm, by decrease of the dissipative resistance Rd, or by a combination of these several factors.
It has generally been thought that tubes best adapted to the production of extremely high frequencies are those wherein the interelectrode tube capacities have been made as small as possible. To this end tubes have been utilized wherein stray capacity effects, due to the tube base, etc., are minimized or eliminated as by removing the base, etc. In a sense this, as shown by Equation (2), is a step in the wrong direction since it fixes the ratio of the grid-to-cathode and anodeto-cathode capacities at a relatively high value,
a determined by the closer spacing between grid and cathode than that extant between anode and cathode. The present invention teaches that stray or auxiliary capacities are beneficial to sustained oscillation to the extent that they reduce the capacity ratio in question.
, Analysis of the Fig. 1 circuit has shown that for generated waves, say of the order of centimeters, the electronic current is appreciably in phase with the alternating components of the grid and plate voltage provided these voltages are not too small.
The adjustable condensers D1 and D2 serially included in the inductive connections between grid and anode, provide a means of making the effective inductance L, Fig. 2, as small as is necessary for production .of oscillations of a desired frequency. At the oscillation frequency f the effective inductance L is:
where L is the actual inductance between grid and plate, and D the effective capacity of condensers D.
Thus condensers D permit of adjusting the oscillation frequency as desired, within limits, while the selection of a proper capacity ratio assures maintenance of oscillations at that frequency.
I claim:
