` 7 Claims.
This invention relates to multiway telephone circuits and more particularly to so-called conference circuits in which a plurality of speakers at different locations may be connected for a common conversation. It is particularly adapted to circuits using distant talking and listening telephone instruments at one or more of the subscribers stations.
An object of the invention is to provide a system with amplifiers so associated as to give the necessary transmission of speech to the various terminal stations and further in the manner to avoid cross-coupling between the circuits.
A further object is to devise a circuit in which adjustments may be made to bring about the same level of speech at all of the terminal stations. Another object is to provide a circuit free from hybrid coils, which coils, in general, require a very close balancing to avoid singing effects. Another object is to bring substantially all the essential ampliers and adjustment elements of all the various circuits together at one point for better switching and better control of performance.
The invention will be better understood and still other objects and advantages will appear from the following specification and the accompanying drawings in which:
Fig. 1 is a simplified circuit drawing showing the invention in terms of a three-way conference system;
Fig. 2 is a more detailed drawing of the multiway amplifier;
Fig. 3 shows as implied circuit drawing similar to Fig. 1 but extended to a four-way conference system;
Fig. 4 is a more detailed showing of the circuit of Fig. 3 showing various additional features contributing to effective operation of the circuit as a whole; and
Fig. 5 shows a detail of a portion of the circuit of Fig. 2.
Referring more particularly to Fig. 1, there are shown three terminal stations, I, 2 and 3, each comprising a transmitter and a loud-speaker serving as a receiver. These terminal stations are connected on a four-wire basis to an intermediate point including a three-way amplifier system.
The three-way amplifier circuit located at the intermediate point consists of a special connection of one-way amplifiers to provide the threeway amplifier which is permanently connected to the three remote stations in such manner as to provide two-way circuits between each station and any of the other stations, the circuits possessing substantially no cross-coupling and avoiding the use of hybrid coils. More specifically, it will be observed that the intermediate amplifier station comprises six one-way amplifiers connected in a closed series circuit with successive amplifiers poled oppositely, the amplifiers being identified by the letters a to f. Signal from transmitter I is impressed on amplifiers a and b. The output of one of these is connected to the receiver at station 2 and the output 0f the other is connected to the receiver at station 3. Similarly, the transmitter of station 2 is connected to the inputs of amplifiers c and d and the transmitter of station 3 is connected to the inputs of amplifiers e and f. The outputs of the amplifiers c and d go, respectively, to the receivers of the stations 3 and 2 and those of the amplifiers e and ,f go, respectively, to thereceivers of terminals I and 2. It will be observed that the circuit from transmitter I is completely isolated from the receiving circuit of station I, making the cross-coupling so small as to be negligible. Likewise, there is complete isolation between the transmitter and receiver circuit in each of the other terminal stations.
While the details of the circuit at each termi-- nal station may take on a variety of forms, it is desirable, in general, to include certain elements. Thus, at station I an amplifier is provided in the transmitting circuit. Also, there is included a transmitting volume limiter. In the receiving circuit there is also included an amplifier and a receiving expander singing suppressor. The details of this latter will be discussed below. While the terminal stations may be connected permanently to the appropriate leads at the intermediate amplifier station, it may be desirable in some cases to arrange for switching to any one of a plurality of subscriber stations other than those shown. Such provision may be made by the jacks J built in on some suitable switchboard.
The circuit of Fig. 1 is shown on a highly simplifi-ed basis in which two-wire circuits are reptions may be at widely different distances froml The elements constituting the vacthe intermediate amplier station, it will be desirable to provide means by which the gain for the different stations shall be controlled. Provision for this is shown in Fig. 2 by the gain control potentiometers P. In some cases where one or more of the terminal stations are fairly close to the intermediate amplier stations, the gain for those circuits will be relatively small and may, in fact, in some cases be a loss, this being permissible because of the individual ampliers at the terminal stations. The adjustment of gain or loss to be associated with each terminal station is made at the intermediate point itself rather than at the terminal stations. The adjustments at the terminal stations are made initially and very rarely would require any further adjustments. In Flg. 2 the transmitting circuits are all shown at one side of the figure and the receiving circuits at the other side. It will be understood, however, that the proper terminals for an input and an output circuit belonging to one terminal station are brought together at the appropriate point.
The circuits of Figs. l and 2 are specific to a three-terminal conference circuit but the arrangement may b-e extended to a larger number of stations. This is shown, for example, in Fig. 3 where the circuit of Fig. 1 is extended to fourterminal stations. In this Fig. 3 it will be observed that there are twelve one-way ampliers divided into four groups of three each. The input circuit of all the tub-es in one group are connested to the transmitter of one terminal station as is shown by the connection of transmitter T1 to the input of all the amplifiers in group I. The output terminals of the three ampliers in group I are connected, respectively, to the receivers R2, R3 and R4 for stations 2, 3 and 4. A similar connection is made for each group. As a result, there will be, of course, a cross-connection between the output circuits of one amplifier in each group to an amplier in each of the other groups except one. Such cross-connections, however, do not lead to any undesirable crosscoupling and the transmitter of any one terminal station is completely isolated from the receiving circuit of that station. While in Fig. 3 the transmitter and receiver ier any one terminal are shown as separated, it will be understood that the lines are extended to bring the correspending transmitter and receiver together at an appropriate point. It will be clear now that the principle of my invention may be extended to a still larger number of outlets. In general, if there are n outlets, then at the intermediate amplifying point there will be rimi) tubes divided into n groups with n-I tubes in each group.
Fig. 4 shows seme of the details appropriate to a circuit of the form of Fig. 3. In this figure three terminal stations only are shown but a fourth may be added if desired. Also, to illustrate the flexibility of this system, one of the terminal stations is shown as a loud-speaker. subset, a second is shown as an ordinary subset and a third is shown as a loud-speaker subset at the remote end of a toll circuit. The loud-speaking subset is shown as consisting of a microphone, suitable amplifier, a volume limiter and a pad in the transmitting side. In the receiving side there is a pad, an amplifier and a loud-speaker. The function of the pads is to pad out all the loops and trunks used for loud-speaker subsets to the same value of loss so that the loss to the toll ofce, wher-e the special ampliiier circuit is located, is the same for all subscribers in that area. In general, the longest loop appearing in that oflice would have no pad.
In this circuit there is also shown an oscillator by which some frequency, preferably outside the normal voice band, may be sent and which can be operated by a key to allow the subscriber to break in when some other location is speaking. Further reference to this feature will be made below. The loud-speaker subset of circuit I is shown as connected to the subscriber private branch exchange. To make the proper connection, the local private branch exchange connects the loud-speaker set to two loops to the central omce when it is desired to hold a loud-speaker conference.
At the toll oiiice equalizers E are shown in both the transmitting and receiving trunk in order te equalize attenuation over a suitable range of frequencies. The loud-speaker subscriber is shown as being connected to the multiway amplifier through a special four-wire cord. This special cord preferably contains a singing suppressor of some suitable type. One type which is especially suitable is an expander type singing suppressor described in detail in. my copending application Serial No. 255,233, led February 8, 1939.
The ordinary telephone subset iclentied as circuit 2 is shown connected to the multiway amplifier through an expander type singing suppressor circuit of the same form as shown in connection with circuit I. Such a suppressor is also necessary for circuit 2 since echoes returned because oi the unbalance between the line and the network of the hybrid coil shown would otherwise falsely operate the receiving amplifier-detectors in the other expander singing Suppressors. A volume limiter is included in the transmitting leg of this circuit 2 to allow the speech currents of the weak talkers to be sent out with suflicient gain so that they will operate the expander properly and to prevent loud talkers from overloading the line. The two-wire side of the hybrid coil is connected to a trunk in the regulartoll switchboard. Thus, with my circuit either a local or distant ordinary subscriber may be connected in the conference circuit. Although not shown hereon, this ordinary subset could also be equipped with a break-in oscillator as de-` scribed in connection with circuit I.
The third terminal station identified as circuit 3 is connected through a four-wire cord to a toll circuit. This toll circuit may be arranged to be operated on a four-wire basis for.
loud-speaker use or on a two-wire basis through the regular switchboards when it is not needed for loud-speaker use. At the far end of the toll circuit another loud-speaking subset is shown connected in a similar manner through a four-` wire cord.`
The expander singing suppressor circuit shown at It in Fig. 4, and which is described in detail in my copending application referred to above, allows the transmitting side of the circuit to be normally enabled. The gain of the transmitting limiter is normally at maximum value. In order to prevent singing, however, the gain of the expander in the receiving circuit is normally at a low value. With incoming messages the volume deliver-ed by the expander circuit is increased by the action of the expander. At the same time the suppressor control operates and disables the transmitting side of the circuit. From this it will be seen that as long as speech is being received and the expander is set to deliver large voliunes, the transmitting circuit is disabled. It may occur at times, however, that it is desirable for a speaker at such a station to break in. To this end the oscillator referred to above is introduced and, as seen in circuit I of Fig. 4, when this oscillator circuit is closed the signal therefrom transmitted to the toll cnice passes through a lter F and a detector D to disable the receiving circuit. This causes the suppressor to release and allows the speech currents of the speaker at terminal l to get out and be heard by the other stations.
In the circuit of Fig. 2 a particular manner of connection from one transmitter to two amplifier tubes is shown. A modication of this arrangement appears in Fig. 5, the connection being adapted for groups of three ampliers. In this gure the transformer from one transmitter feeds into a secondary circuit including three potentiometer resistances bridged in parallel. Separate and adjustable leads from each of these resistances serving as potentiometers lead to the respective grids of the group of ampliers. Obviously, this circuit arrangement may be extended to a larger number of amplifiers or contracted to a smaller number.
