In order that the frequency of my local oscil- Myinvention in its more detailed aspects may lator may be swung gradually over a range at best be understood from the following description least as great as the possible variation in frewhen read in connection with the accompanying quency of the incoming carrier wave, I prefer to d aw ng in wh 7 l use an auxiliary oscillator comprising an electron Figure 1 shows a circuit diagram of a portion tube l9 having an external grid circuit which .7
Of a Superheterodyne receiver in which apparatus includes the coil 20 and an external plate circuit 55 which includes the coil 2!. The coils 20, 2! and an output circuit coil 22 are mutually intercoupled by means of a conventional laminated iron transformer core. The frequency of the oscillator I 9 is preferably made super-audible, al though at a much lower frequency than that of the incoming carrier wave.
The oscillatory energy induced in the coil 22 is transferred to the coil 23 which surrounds the structure including the powdered iron core 25, and its'transformer coils l6, I! and I8. Energization of the coil 23 induces magnetism in a field occupied by the core 25 and by the laminated iron shell 24. The degree of saturation may be controlled by controlling the amplitude of the oscillations. One device which enables this adjustment to be made manually comprises an adjustable potentiometer 26 in the anode circuit of the oscillator IS.
The auxiliary oscillator l9 serves to wobble or vary the frequency of the local oscillator l2 by varying the flux density in the core 25 and hence the effective inductance of the coils l6 and il. Furthermore, the range of frequencies within which the oscillator l2 may be wobbled may be easily controlled according to the extent of the frequency excursions of the transmitter, this object being gained by manual adjustment of the potentiometer 26, which in turn controls the amplitude of oscillations derived from the oscillator l9. 7
As a modification of my invention, I find it possible to dispense with the auxiliary oscillator 59 and to produce frequency modulation of the local oscillator I2 by causing the latter to become selfquenching. One way to accomplish this is to choose a greater capacitance for the grid condenser 21. Another way is to increase the resistance of the grid leak 28. Either way, or the adoption of both ways is with the object of obtaining a time constant for the grid leak-condenser combination such that the tube l2 will generate oscillations intermittently. The interruption frequency should, of course, be superaudible. According to this modification of my invention less desirable results are obtainable than according to the preceding disclosure. The reason for this is that no satisfactory method has as yet been found for avoiding extreme am plitude-modulation of the locally generated oscillations along with their frequency modulation. Notwithstanding this disadvantage, however, it is possible in certain circumstances to obtain satisfactory reception of voice signals andwith a freedom from distortion that is quite remarkable, considering the difficulties usually encountered when frequency control of the transmitted carrier wave is not all that it should be.
In the operation of my improved radio receiver it will be understood, therefore, that it is possible to overcome the difiiculties heretofore encountered. Distortion of the received signals is avoided in spite of poor frequency control at the transmitter. The continuously varying frequency of my local oscillator is such that a response may be had during some portion of every frequency excursion thereof. The sharpness of tuning of the intermediate frequency amplifier is-such that the signals will be rejected when not properly heterodyned. I have found that my improved radio receiver and the improved method of operating it are such that very satisfactory results may be obtained even when receiving signals from a transmitter comprising a voice modulated oscil lator operating at 100 megacycles.
