Divided and this application March 27, 1940, Serial No. 326,150. In Great Britain March 17, 1939 20 Claims.
This invention relates, generally, to radio transmission and reception, and the invention has reference more particularly to radio transmitting and receiving apparatus operating at ultra high frequencies, and employing 'cavity resonator devices, or tubes, excited by electron streams.
The present application is a division of copending application Serial Number 201,898, filed April 14, 1938, for Radio transmission and reception.
The principal object of the present invention is to provide, in connection with ran electron stream excited cavity resonator or tube oscillator or amplifier, means for effecting modulation of the output of such oscillator and/or amplifier.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a novel oscillator and/or amplifier of the above character employing electrode means and a connected modulating supply for selectively effecting frequency, phase and amplitude modulation at will of the output of said oscillator and/or amplifier.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide, in connection with an electron stream type oscillator and/or amplifier, electrode means excited at the frequency of the apparatus for effecting optimum operating efficiency of the apparatus.
A further object of the invention is to provide electrode tube means for effecting frequency modulation of an electron stream type oscillator and/or amplifier, said apparatus employing additional electrode means for eliminating amplitude modulation of the output of the apparatus.
Still another object of the invention is to provide feed back means in an oscillator, which feed back means employs a cavity resonator having a high Q for effecting frequency stability of the oscillator.
Other objects and advantages will become apparent from the specification, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing wherein the invention is embodied in concrete form.
. The single figure of the drawing is a circuit diagram of a typical transmitter conforming to the principles of the present invention. Referring to the drawing, there is disclosed an electron stream excited cavity oscillator consisting of cavity, or hollow resonators 4 and 5 that are excited by a stream of electrons emitted from the cathode l, and accelerated by accelerating voltage supplied by battery 3, connected to the cathode and to the resonator 4 having the accelerating grid 2. The cavity resonators 4 and 55 5 in operation contain standing electromagnetic waves having a'frequency determined bythe dimensions of the cavities. The electrons are projected as a stream through the grid 2 and through the grids of successive resonators 4 and 5. Resonators 4 and 5 are back-coupled through use of loops 8, l0 and 9, 1 and a large resonator 6,
Elements 4 and 5 operate as an oscillator largely as described in the co-pending application Serial No. 168,355, but instead of coupling directly from the second device 5 to device 4, as described before, .they are coupled through a third hollow resonator device 6 preferably made considerably larger than 4 or 5 so that it will have a fundamental frequency much lower than the fundamental frequency of devices 4 and 5, and operating at one of its harmonic frequencies. As one of the consequencesof the theory of hollow resonator operation set forth in application' Serial No. 92,787 it is well known that the ratio of the inductive reactance to the resistance of a resonant device is higher for the harmonics than for the fundamental frequency. Also, from the theory of radio circuits it is known that frequency stability is a function of this ratio which is commonly designated by the letter Q. Accordingly in this invention device 5 is operated on one of its harmonics for coupling between devices 4 and 5. A value of Q of the order of 104 is not uncommon in these devices operating on the fundamental frequencies.v It can be increased to or ll)8 by using one of the higher harmonies. This, of course, increases the frequency stability of the system.
The theory developed for the velocity grouped electronic oscillator set forth in application No. 168,355 shows that the bunched beam contains many harmonics of the fundamental bunching frequency and that the beam can excite circuits oscillating at the harmonic frequencies as Well as at the fundamental. This property is used as shown in the figure wherein the bunched electron beam after emerging from device 5 is used to excite another device Il whose fundamental frequency is that of a Fourier harmonic of the frequency of the devices 5 and 4. Devices 4 and 5 act as a master oscillator and clevice Il as a frequency multiplier. The output of device Il is shown amplified in devices l2 and i3 which are provided with an electron beam emitter I4 and the usual battery and collimating grid. The amplified high frequency energy is shown as connected for delivery by a coupling loop l5 to an antenna I6 from which it is radiated. Obviously energy could be radlated directly from device II, if desired.
Modulation of the signal can be accomplished in a number of ways as indicated in the figure. One way is to use a tube I'I between any two of the resonant devices, or cavity resonators, and to vary its potential as by using a transformer I8 connected to a modulating device such as a telephone transmitter I9, or some other means of producing a modulating voltage.. The tube II is illustrated in three different possible locations in the figure. 'I'he eiect of the modulating tube II is different in the several locations shown. In its location between cavity resonators 4 and 5 it shifts the phase of energy transfer between resonators 4 and 5. In such a system where feed backoccurs, as it does in this instance, shifting the phase between two resonant components of the circuit changes the frequency somewhat as a function of the voltage applied and may also be made to change the amplitude of the oscillations.
In the arrangement shown "pure frequency modulation can be attained by having the voltage on tube I1 control also a volume control 20, as of the amplifier or potentiometer types, connected to a modulating grid 2| which counteracts the amplitude modulating effect of tube I'I. By this means tube I1 can modulate the frequency of the system without modulating it amplitude. i
The effect of modulating tube II in the locations between cavity resonators and II, or between resonators I2 and I3 is to phase modulate the output of the system, the phase shift of the oscillationsin member II or I3, as the case may be, being a function of the voltage applied to tube I1. In phase modulation the oscillator including cavity resonators 4, 5 and 6 oscillate steadily at their normal stable frequency, while the frequency multiplying resonator II and the amplifying resonators I2 and I3 oscillate at the same frequency but with shifting phase between resonator 5 and the output resonator I3. The phase shifting effect between resonators 5 and II is the same as between resonators 4 and 5, but there is no feed back from resonator II to change the system `frequency. If cavity resonator II is operating at a frequency that is the nth harmonic, where n is an integer, of the frequency of cavity resonators 4 and 5, the phase shift of the nth harmonic component of bunching in the electron beam in tube I1 is n times the phase shift of the fundamental component. The effect of the tube I'I between cavity resonators I2 and' I3 is the same as when it is between cavity resonators 5 and II as far as output at I6 is concerned. The entire effect is phase modulation. f
Amplitude modulation of the system can be accomplished by the grid 2I, as described in Serial No. 185,382. It can also be accomplished by spaced plates 22 in the figure connected respectively to the sides of the secondary of transformer I8 which is supplied with a suitable modulating voltage. Plates 22 deect the electron stream passing between them so that the effectiveness of the stream is varied as a function of the` stream deflection by the plates 22. The effectiveness of the stream is a maximum when it is centered in the system and such effectiveness is reduced by deflection to either side. Accordingly, the system is adjusted so that without modulation the beam rests at some interaasnoss mediate position where the effect is less than maximum so that double frequency modulation is avoided. The same effect can be attained by blocking olf a portion of the grids of cavity resonator 5.
When the tube I1 is located between cavity resonators I2 and I3 the amount of phase shift per unit of applied voltage is somewhat different than that obtained when this tube is placed 'oetween resonators 5 and II.
stead of exciting them at a modulating frequency.
they are excited at the oscillation frequency of the system the electron beam between the plates 22'can be shifted at the oscillating frequency. By adjusting the assemblage so that the electron stream is shifted considerably to one side reaching its maximum shift when the electron stream bunches at the grids of cavity resonator 5 are in the phase least productive of system oscillation, and so that the stream is centered when the stream bunching at resonator 5 is at its optimum phase for producing oscillation, the bunching economy of the stream is improved. That is, the possible transfer of stream energy to the oscillating device 5 may be increased, by deflection, somewhat beyond the theoretical maximum percentage possible with bunching alone. For most effective operation the plates 22 would be replaced by a defiecting cavity resonator, as shown in Serial No. 193,268.
Amplitude modulation can be accomplished by the additional method of changing the voltage between the amplifier electron emitter I4 and cavity resonator I2 as shown in the figure by use of modulating transformer I8. An additional method of accomplishing phase modulation is to change the voltage between amplifier resonators I2 and I3 by use of transformer I8'.
The frequency adjustment of the several cavity resonators referred to in the ligure can be ac-` complished by any of the methods shown in the parent case above referred to as by use of handles 4I for turning elements 36. Usually all such cavity resonators but one in a system should be adjustable. In the gure, the unadjusted device is shown at 5. The frequency adjustment of resonator 6 is accomplished by varying condenser 43 connected to loop 38.
In the co-pending application Serial No. 185,382 transmitters are shown used with parabolic reflectors. Such a combination is generally applicable for transmitters of the frequencies of the order of 109 cycles per second or higher. It is also in frequencies of this order that frequency stability enhanced by use of resonator 5 may be very important.
