S. Black, Wave translation sys- The use of thermo-sensitive elements in gain temp V control circuits has been proposed heretofore, While applicant's invention is being disclosed in 40 such arrangements being described for exampl connection with an amplifier of the feedback 0 in Patent 2,098,968 issued November 16, 1937 to type, it will be understood that t e types of C. O. Mallinckrodt, Transmission regulation, amplifiers may be used, Suitable Provisions being and Patent,2,l16,600 issued May 10,1938 to J. R. included for changing the i thereof under Fisher and C. O. Mallinckrodt, Electrical transcontrol of regulating pp tus to be do arrangements t h b t usual practice to Line I6 is enclosed within the same sheath as enclose the thermo-sensitive elements in a heatline H and the other lines C pr ing the cable.
, ing chamber whereby radiation from the elements Line extends the length of one epeater seccould be controlled within certain limits. In t i looped at h r end, and forms what is accordance with the arrangement invented by commonly known as the Pilot Wi e. Line [6, applicant, however, no heat chambers are 'utiw ch is p ovided for purposes of regulation is lized, the elements being exposed directly to the S ject, of course, to the same variations in tematmosphere. This practice results in important perature'as the other l nes, such as line H, of the advantages from an economic standpoint and cable. s is The regulating mechanism, which includes bridge H, is controlled largely by line l6. Bridge |1 comprises four resistance arms, one arm comprising fixed resistance |8, a second arm comprising fixed resistance 2| in series with the resistance of line I6, which varies in accordance with temperature changes, a third arm comprising fixed resistance 22 in series with resistance 23 which is varied by operation of the bridge galvanometer, and the fourth arm comprising fixed resistance 26 in series with variable resistance 21, variable resistance 28 being connected in parallel to resistance 21. Variable resistance 21 is a thermosensitive element having a negative temperature coeflicient of resistance, for example a boron element.
Automatic galvanometer 4| which is associated with bridge l1, may be, for example, of the type disclosed in Ulrich Patent 1,647,383 issued November 1, 1927. The galvanometer assembly includes a source of mechanical power for rotating shaft 42 through an angle proportional to the angle of deflection of the galvanometer resulting from an unbalanced condition of the bridge. Contact arms 43 and 46 are carried by shaft 42 and determine respectively by their positions the portions of resistances 23 and 41 which are effectively connected in the circuit.
Thermo-sensitive resistance 56, which should be of the same material as element 21, is provided with heater 58, the two being mounted in close association or, if preferable, being actually combined in a unitary structure. Similarly, thermo-sensitive resistances 1| and 12, likewise of the same material as element 21, are provided with respective heaters 11 and 18. Resistance 56 is connected to control the gain of repeater l2 while resistances 1| and 12 may be similarly connected to control other repeaters not shown.
In order to further described the invention, let us assume that the temperature of the cable increases thereby increasing the transmission loss in line I and the other lines included in the cable. There will be, of course, a corresponding increase in the temperature of pilot line IS, the resulting increase of resistance thereof unbalancing bridge I1. .Movement of automatic galvanometer 4|, resulting from the unbalanced condition of the bridge rotates shaft 42 and contact arms 43 and 46 carried thereby, through an angle proportional to the unbalance of the bridge.
Readjustment of resistance 23 by movement of contact arm 43 is effective to rebalance the bridge while readjustment of resistance 41 by movement of contact arm 46 is effective to cause an increase of the current fiow in heater line 92 thereby resulting in an increase of the temperature of heaters 58, 11, 18 and 9|.
In view of the negative temperature coeflicient of resistance of element 56 (preferably boron) the resistance thereof will be decreased by the rise in temperature of heater 58, thereby causing the element to shunt a greater portion of the current in the feedback circuit of amplifier l2. This reduces the amount of feedback and since the feedback is a gain reducing feedback this results in raising the amplification of repeater |2 thereby compensating for the increase in the transmission loss in line I.
Elements 1| and 12 act in a similar manner to increase the gain of the amplifiers with which they are associated.
While the decrease in resistance of element 21, resulting from the rise in temperature of heater 9|, unbalances bridge I 1 slightly, resulting movement of galvanometer 4| brings the bridge back into a stable condition.
Let us assume now that there is no further change in the temperature of the cable for the present but that there is a change in the ambient temperature of the repeater station, for example, a considerable decrease of temperature. This will result, of course, in a more or less rapid radiation of heat from element 56 to the cool air surrounding it thereby tending to increase its resistance. Such an increase if persistent would,
of course, be undesirable as it would cause a decrease in the gain of amplifier 2. However, in accordance with applicant's invention this undesirable change is prevented due to the fact that provisions are made for bringing about an unbalanced condition of bridge I1 and readjustment of the heater current to compensate for the ambient temperature variation.
It will be evident that the temperature of element 21 will decrease at a rate corresponding to that at which the temperature of element 56 decreases, thereby resulting in an increase of the resistance of element 21 corresponding to the increase of resistance of element 56. The change in resistance of element 21, however, unbalances bridge |1, thereby causing movement of automatic galvanometer 4|. The resulting readjustment of resistance 23 brings the bridge back into balanced condition while the readjustment of resistance 41 causes an increase of current flow in heater line 92 sufiicient to increase the temperature of elements 56 and 21 a sufiicient amount to compensate for the change in ambient temperature. The temperature of element 56 is maintained at a constant value, therefore, notwithstanding the decrease in the ambient temperature of the repeater station.
The resistance of elements 1| and 12 is, of course, maintained at a constant value also in view of the fact that the associated heaters are energized over the same path as heater 58.
It will be understood that the arrangement functions in a similar manner to compensate for increases in the ambient temperature, the bridge being unbalanced in such a case to bring about a decrease of the heater current. The fact that an element is included in an arm of the bridge which is of similar material to the compensating elements included in the feedback path of the amplifier and which is heated from the same circuit and subject to the same ambient temperature, results in an arrangement which maintains the temperature of the gain-compensating elements constant regardless of changes in ambient temperature.
While the use of boron elements as the temperature-responsive resistances has been described, it will be understood that other substances having like characteristics may be used instead of the boron. By way of example, silver sulphide elements may be substituted for the boron elements. In such event, however, it may be found desirable to utilize an alternating current source in the bridge instead of the direct current source described (battery 48) in order to prevent deterioration of the silver sulphide due to the efiects of direct current.
While a certain specific embodiment of the invention has been selected for detailed description the invention is not, of course, limited in its application to the embodiment described. For example, the regulating arrangement described may be utilized in connection with networks rather than repeaters and may be controlled by means other than, a pilot Wire regulated bridge. In short, the embodiments described should be taken as illustrative and not as restrictive.
