- -Another object of the invention is to provide an automatic volume control tube for a receiver wherein an alternating potential can beapplied to the control tube plate, the potential being derived from the oscillator circuit when the receiver is of the battery-operated, superheterodyne type, and from the conventional power supply transformer when the receiver is alternating-current operated.
- An additional object of the invention is to provide an automatic Volume control system wherein the amplified signal voltage may be used as plate potential for the volume control tube.

- the resonant circuitJ 3 is iixedly tuned to the operating intermediate frequency.
- the coupling transformer M2 in that case has its primary and secondary circuits each tuned to the operating intermediate frequency, while the detector tube, the second detector Ain the case of the superheterodyne receiver, is connected across the tuned circuit 4.
- the detector tube is shown as a diode 5, and the cold electrode, or anode, thereof is connected to the cathode through a path which includes -the tuned circuit 4 and a resistor 6 arranged in series, the resistor 6 being shunted by a radio frequency by-pass condenser 1.
- the signal current impressed upon the circuit 4 develops across the resistor 6 an audio fre' quency signal potential component and a direct current potential component.
- the path which includes lead 8 and audio frequency signal coupling condenser 9 transmits the audio frequency signal component to one or more stages of audio frequency amplification, and the amplified audio frequency signal energy may then be reproduced in any desired manner.
- the lead 8 may terminate in an adjustable tap I0, and this tap may function as the manual volume control element of the receiver if desired.
- the direct current potential component of the detected signal current is impressed upon the control grid II of a screen grid tube I2 by connecting the grid I I through a lead I3 to the positive potential side of resistor 6.
- a potentiometer resistance P furnishes the operating direct current voltages for the electrodes of tubes I, 5 and I2, and only these circuits are shown in detail because they are the only ones that need be described for a clear understanding of the invention.' It is to be vclearly understood that the resistor PI is connected to the direct current power supply source, and that the latter may comprise any arrangement Well known to those skilled in the broadcast receiver art.
- the cathode of amplier tube I is connected by lead Il to point I 8 on the potentiometer P, and a lead I9 connects the anode of tube I to point 2G which is at a more positive potential than the point I8'.
- the control grid of amplifier tube I is connected through a path which includes the lead 2'I and resistor 22 to the anode side of resistor' R.
- By-pass condensers are connected from either side of resistor 22 to point I8 of the resistor P.
- the circuit relations between the various ele ments of the system shown in Fig. 1, ⁇ and the functions of the elements in the operation of the system will now be described.

- the resistor 6 is connected to a point I4 on the potential' supply resistor P which is more negative than the point I4 to which the anode diode is connected.
- the control grid II ofv tube I2 v is connected to an intermediate point 6' on resistor 6. This arrangement results in a positive bias being applied to the anode of tube 5, and a negative bias being impressed on the grid I Irof tube I2.
- the bias on the control grid I-I4 will be approximately half the potential drop between points I4 and I4.
- the change in the control grid bias of tube I2 with an increase in the strength-of the signal applied to diode 5 will be approximately half that ob* tained from the arrangement shown in Fig. l.
- the resistor R in the plate circuit of tube I2Y in Fig. 2 returnsdirectly to the cathode of the tube, the plate potential for the tube being provided through the secondary winding of the 60 cycle alternating current transformer M3.
- alternating current plate potential for tube l2* makes it unnecessary to provide the plate potential for this tube-from the V supply system of the receiver. Since the platel supply for the automatic volume control system and the ampli- Iier tubes must normally beconnected in series, the use of alternating eiurent onA the plate of tube I2 makes it possible to reduce the total potential which the receiver B supply system must provide by the voltage normally used for tube I2.
- the screen grid of tube I2- can, of course, connecttothe B supply system in parallel with the screen grids of the other amplifier tubes.
- the resistance-condenser filter IFM-J2' inserted between point 6 and the input electrodes of tube I2r in Fig. 2, functions to prevent audio frequency potentials being applied to the control grid of tube l2.
- This filter can likewise be employed in the arrangement shown in Fig. l. While the diode 5 in Fig. 1V is shown as functioning additionally as the second detectorfof the re-V DC, in Fig. l a separate audio detector must be used because of the positive bias which is ap ⁇ same tube envelope as the electrodes of the automatic volume control diode 5.
- the plate potential for the tube I2 in both arrangements can be supplied from an alternating current source, and thereby minimize the voltage requirements of the receiver B supply system.

- the tube I2 is a screen grid tube, the screen being connected to point il on the bleeder resistor P, and preferably is of the pentode type. If the plate potential for tube I2 is supplied fromv 'the local oscillator of the receiver, the applied Aplate potential may vary through the tuning range of the receiver, or with variations in tubes, etc. Since the operating characteristics of the pentode tubes are reasonably independent of the applied plate potential, the effects of these variations will not be serious. Of course, a pentode tube may also be utilized for the tube i2 in Fig. 2.
- Fig. 6 there is shown a variation of the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, and it will be noted that the difference between the two arrangements resides in the fact that in Fig. 6 both the cathodes and control grids of the amplier tubes being controlled are connected to the bleeder resistor P so that they are always negative with respect to any of the rectier electrodes. This is permitted through the use of the alternating potential on the plate of the automatic volume control tube. Since the circuit elements in Fig. 6 are substantially the same as those shown in Fig. 3, similar reference numerals are utilized, but in Fig. 6 these reference numerals are associated with prime designations.

It is believed that the remaining constructional details of Fig. 4 will be readily understood from the arrangement shown in Fig. 3.
