Definitions
- circuit means which cause the separating. value of the mixture to be be varied corresponding with. the variations in the total amplification.
- Thesemeans may be constructed as automatically acting or also as manually controlled means.
- the arrangement according to the invention is of particular importance as regards television receivers, which are to be synchronised from the transmitter andmakes use of a three-electrode valve in connection with a grid leak resistance with a parallel connected capacity.
- Figure 1 shows one form of the present invention and Figure 2 shows comparative signaling strengths of the detected signals.
- a receiving rectifier l in Fig. L'for example a push-pull detector, the image current passes over a line 2 through the medium of a a condenser 3 to the Braun tube 4.
- the line 2 is accordingly traversed by image potentials of the order of for example, approximately :10 volts.
- the amplitude values for strong and weak reception are shown the values for weak reception being shaded or hatched.
- theextreme white is entered with +10 volts, and the extreme black with 10 volts.
- the peaks of the synchronizing impulses in Fig. 2 then have an amplitude of 15 volts.
- the shaded values apply to weak reception. They are given as :3 volts for the imag and p -4 volts for thesynchronlsationsignals.
- object of the circuit according to the invention consists in performing an amplitude filtering for example at either of the values -12 or -3.5, and in allowing all impulses to pass which are more negative than th stated value and withholding the remainder.
- the desiredlimits are 5 shown in dash-dotted lines in Fig. 2 and are designated 6 and 6' respectively.
- the problem is solved according to the invention for example by a single-grid tube 1 in Fig. 1 in the following manner:
- the cathode of the tube 1 is connected through a resistance 8 of approximately 0.1 megohm with a positive potention of 3.5 volts as compared with the'grid 9 of the same tube.
- a condenser 3" of approximately 0.005 mf, which blocks the passage of low frequencies, but 'allows the passage of the short and long synchronisation impulses to-an equal degree.
- the potential of the anode battery I0 is selected to be such that the anode current only commences when the potential cathode and grid exceeds the blocking value of 3.5 volts.
- condenser 15 is selected to be so small that it short-circuits the high frequencies, but on the other hand it may be charged in a comparatively short time by the grid current (a suitable value is e. g., approximately 100 mmf.). If the leak resistance I6 were missing, the grid, therefore, would apparently be charged to the highest negative peak value occurring, A control effect in the anode circuit would, therefore, cease altogether. By reason now of the leak resistance It the grid is charged not to the peak value of the maximum negative potential, but to a value that is always less negative to a certain extent.
- a television receiver wherein picture and synchronizingsignals are received as a modulation of a common carrier frequency and wherein the synchronizing signals have a greater amplitude than any picture signals, means for amplify-' ing the modulated carrier frequency, a demodulator tube having input and output electrodes,
- a television receiver wherein picture and synchronizing signals are received as a modulation of a common carrier frequency and wherein the synchronizing signals have a greater amplitude than any picture signals, means for amplifying the modulated carrier frequency, a demodulator tubeihaving input and output electrodes, means forapplying the modulated carrier to the input electrode of the demodulator tube whereby detected picture and synchronizing signals are present at the output electrode of said tube with the synchronizing signals extending in a negative direction, a separator tube including a cathode, a control electrode and an output electrode, a source of potential, means including a parallel connected condenser and resistance combination for connecting the control electrode of said separator tube to the negative terminal of the source of potential, means including a load circuit for connecting the output electrode of said separator tube to the positive terminal of the source of potential,means including an impedance for normally'maintaining a positive bias on the cathode relative-to the control.
- means including a condenser for connecting the cathode of said separator tube to the output elect-rodeof 'said demodulator to vary thepotenti-al of said cathode in accordance with variations in; amplitude and voltage of the detected pictureand synchronizingsignals from a predetermined normalamplitude and voltage value, said resistance and condenser combination being adapted to alter the bias voltage applied to the control electrode of the separator tube in a negative direction in accordance with increases in the sign-al strength of the detected synchronizing sign-alswhereby said separator tube is rendered conductive only upon the presence of synchronizing signals irrespective of the variations pling the control electrode of the sepai'ator tube in the amplitude and voltage of the detected sigto the means for amplifying the modulated carnals, the time constant of said condenser and rier frequency to vary the amplification level resistor combination corresponding to the time thereof.
