Definitions

  • SIGNAL I I0 RECEIVER /4 Fl G. 2 sum:
  • This invention relates to frequency selective circuits such as may be employed in discriminating between signaling currents of diflerent frequencies.
  • One object of the invention is to increase the impedance of a tuned circuit to frequencies differing materially from the frequency to which the circuit is tuned while offering a substantially reduced impedance to current of the critical frequ cv- I
  • Another object is to maintain a frequency selec-- tive circuit of high impedance to the frequency to which it is resonant, unless the current of said frequency is applied longer than a definite time interval.
  • the invention is principally diversion from a transmission linefof a current of a single frequency or narrow band of frequencies. For example, in'voice frequency ringing over a telephone line, it is desirable to divert the voice frequency signal into its proper receiving circuit without introducing appreciable loss in the other frequency bands transmitted over the line.
  • the invention may comprise inshunt to a transmission line a condenser,
  • a resistance element such as a silver sulphide resistance having a high negative temperature eihcient of resistance, and the primary winding of a transformer, the transformer and the condenser being resonant at the frequency to be diverted,'for example, a ringing current of 1,000
  • the characteristics-01a silver sulphide resistor are such that it presents a high resistance when subjected to voltage below a cer- .tain critical value but as the voltage is increased, the temperature of the resistance is increased until a critical point is reached at which the resistance drops to a very low value.
  • the above described bridge circuit because of the impedance of the tuned circuit and because of the high resistance of the silver sulphide element for thev usual low voltages of speech currents near a receivingstation introduces a negligible loss at all frequencies at these low voltages.
  • the transmission line 5 may be traversed by speech frequencies or by a carrier wave modulated by the voice from a source such as source 6 to be received at a distant station by suitable receiver I which for carrier operation would include a suitable demodulator or detecting device.
  • a source 8 of signaling current In shunt to line 5 at one station is a source 8 of signaling current and a key 9 for connecting the source to the line.
  • Winding II and condenser ii are tuned for series resonance at the frequency of the source I.
  • the secondary winding 'II of the transformer leads to a suitable signal receiver ll.
  • the silver sul-- phideresistor i2 possesses a very high resistance and the shunt circuit ill, i2, therefore, introduces a negligible loss for all frequencies in the speech 40 or carrier bands provided the voltage across the silver sulphide resistor is below its critical value.
  • the bridge circuit II, II receives the signaling frequency from source I with full eiiiciency.
  • the silver sulphide unit employed in the above described tuned circuit should preferably be of such size and, thermal design that its temperature due to the received voltage from frequency source 8 does not reach the critical value-unless this voltage persists for an appreciable time such as 0.5 second. This will aid the signal receiver ll in discriminating against momentarily im-' and the tuning condenser may be placed in series with the secondary winding [3 instead of in series with the primary. winding II. This modification is shown him. 2 where a tuning condenser ll and a silver sulphide resistance ll are connected in series with the secondary winding If.
  • the transmission characteristics of the bridge circuit i8, I! 01' Fig. 2 are the same as those described above for Fig. 1.
  • a sourceof signaling current of a wide band offrequencies a second source of signaling current of a narrow band of frequencies, a line, means for impressing on said linesignaling currents from both of said s sources and a path bridged across said line comprising a condenser, the primary winding of a second source, said path being of high impedance to the signaling current from said first 2.
  • a line In a traon system, a line, a source of speech currents, a source of ringing current of a definite frequency, means for impressing currents from SMLSOHICGS upon said line, a receiving station whcze the current received over said line from said second source is of higher voltage than be emnloyed inplace 1 tthe-current received from said first source, and means at said receiving station for receiving current from said second source, said means comprising in shunt to said line the primary winding of a transformer and a resistance element having a high negative temperature coefiicient of resistance.
  • a line In a signal on system, a line, a source of signaling currents of a wide band of frequencies, a source of ringing current of a definite-frequency, means for impr currents from said sources upon said line, a receiving sta-.
  • said means including a nonlinear resistance, an inductance connected across said circuit in series with said resistance, and means responsive to the ringing current potential developed across the terminals of said inductance.
