Definitions

  • the present invention relates particularly to television-systems in which the synchronising impulses are given by modulating the carrier wave on one side of a certain amplitude level, and the picture impulses by modulation'from same level on the other side. Processes of this given a bias in such a way that the black nonoperating level of the picture modulation just does not permit any anode current to flow in the separator tube whilst the synchronisation impulse itself causes the fiow of the anode current. This process operates satisfactorily per se. A further consideration of the associations between conditions in the picture channel and the synchronisation channel, however, shows that in the case of the circuits hitherto used there is an excessive outlay which is not essential.
  • a peak voltage 'of about 15' volts is required.
  • the synchronisation voltage which is to control the time base apparatus amounts to about 8 volts. It is, therefore, not necessary that amplification of the synchronization impulse should take place as has been done with the separator valves used hitherto. It would rather s'ufilce for the separator equipment to operate completely without any amplification. and only switching elements to be used which require no outside voltage such as for example diode valves.

  • a four-pole member is connected to the anode resistance of this valve through a condenser 5 over the input terminals i and 2, and the output terminals 2 and I areconne'cted to the time base apparatus or so-called relaxation device.
  • the voltage arising at terminals 3 and I will then have the form shown in Fig. 1b, as the condenser I only permits alternating current to pass through.

  • This disadvantage can in the first instance be lessened by giving the rectifier a constant bias as in Fig. 3, for example, with the assistance of battery 25. If the polarity of the bias is correct synchronisation impulses. are obtained
  • the rectifier 22 and the resistance 6 of this circuit arrangement coincides with the elements similarly indicated in Fig. 3. To terminals I and 2 there is conveyed the demodulated voltage in the secondary winding of a transformer which is fed by the primary winding 26.
  • the winding also feeds a second secondary winding which is wound in such a way that the polarities of the terminals 28 and l, or 21 and 2 coincide.
  • This second secondary winding feeds a rectifier 29 which is so arranged that it permits the upper parts of the mixture shown in Fig. 1b to pass through and cuts oil those signals lying below the zero line.
  • a drop in voltage accordingly occurs at the condenser resistance combination 30 which is dependent upon the mean picture intensity.
  • the time constant of the resistance capacity member lies in the order of magnitude of the duration of a line. This voltage now takes the place of the constant bias of the battery 25 in Fig. 3. At terminals 4 and the cleanly cut oil synchronisation impulses now appear.

  • Figs. 4 and 7 are, accordingly, two final circuit arrangements which give the desired results. In both circuit arrangements two rectifiers are required. This does not, however, prevent the variable bias for the main rectifier from being obtained in some other way.
