Definitions
- the transmitter system of the present application has for its object to provide a modulated wave amplifying means and method applicable to radio-telephonic transmission.
- the present invention involves on the one hand the system of modulation through phase shift, which is described in older patents (see especially United States Patents Nos. 1,882,119, 1,892,383, 1,946,308 and 2,009,080. See, also, Proceedings I. R. E., November, 1935, A Communication from H. Chireix).
- the present invention involves on the other hand operation similar to that of an ordinary modulation system in which variation of the amplitude of the carrier wave is accomplished.
- the present invention thus can in a certain.
- One of the objects of the invention is to provide a method 'and means for high efiiciency operation for radio-telephonic transmitters.
- 'Another object of the invention is to provide a method and means for amplification and trans-
- the essential arrangement of the invention resides in feeding to the end or power tubes or to an intermediate amplifier stage of a transmitter connected along the lines of a modulation system predicated upon outphasing, amplitudemodulated potentials originating from a single input amplification chain or cascade, and in the use of reverse or negative feedback in the load circuit with a view to insuring modulation based upon amplitude variation only for the points of the modulation cycle which in the load circuit correspond to an instantaneous current value below the effective or root means square value of the'carrier wave, and modulation based both on amplitude variation and outphasing for points of the modulation cycle which correspond to larger load.
- a transmit-' ter comprises only a last symmetric stage or preceding stages that are also symmetric to which the modulated potentials may be impressed either directly or else by the intermediary of auxiliary amplifiers.
- the circuit organization moreover, includes compensating means whereby the distortingaction of the modulation cycle may be diminished, this means being'efiective especially when distortion is due to cuits.
- Figure 1 illustrates a modulated wave amplifier system wherein two radio-frequency waves are fed to a common load in'phase-displaced relation to produce a resilient radio-frequency wave the amplitude of which depends on the phase relation which, in turn, is controlled by the signals.
- Figure 2 illustrates a modulator and modulation amplifier arranged in accordance with the present invention.
- I make use of modulation by phase shift and by carrier wave amplitude variation;
- Figures 3 and 4 are voltage vectors used in illustrating the manner of operation of my system as illustrated in Fig. 2;
- Figure 5 shows means for compensating nonlinearities occurring in the transmitter of Figure 2; while Figures 6 and 7 are modifications of thearrangement of Figure 2. r It is known in fact that the two modulation methods referred to hereinbefore differ essentially by the manner in which there is obtained the modulation of antenna currents under the action of the speech currents, this modulation producing in the two cases, amplitude variations of the carrier wave.
- this amplitude variation of the carrier wave is obtained by applying to the antenna a high frequency potential, already modulated in amplitude by the potentials, which are substantially equal, form between each other a rather wide angle for instance).
- a phase modulation in the reverse sense of these two elementary potentials, their relative phase shift varies, for example, 'between 120 and and this has the effect that the instantaneous current amplitude the saturation of the load .
- the grids g1 g2 of the two tubes I and 2 are excited respectively by two potentials in and r us obtained from the same high-frequency oscillator 0 through two separate amplification chains C and C, these two potentials beingmodulated in modulators in mi and m'; by opposite phase variations.
- the resultant current in the load is correspondingly modulated in amplitude.
- the amplifying system forming the subject matter of the present invention is represented schematically in Figure 2. It differs from the preceding one by the mode of excitation of the grids g1 and g2 of. the tubes I and 2, the platecircuits of these tubes being the same and being controlled in the same manner.
- the modulated alternating potentials applied to the grids g1 and ya in my system result from the composition of four elementary high frequency potentials U1, U2, Ua and Us, as will be explained hereinafter.
- the potentials U1, U2 which are substantially equal to each other are applied respectively to each of the grids g1 ya but in opposite phasewith respect to each other,while the potential Us is applied substantially cophasally to the two grids with a phase in quadrature relative to the two preceding potentials V1 and V2.
- Vs is likewise a high-frequency potential modulated in amplitude and the arrangement is such that this potential Us is also The poten-- tial Us can thus be considered as in inverse reaction.
- the circuits will be controlled such that in the absence of modulation the angle a has a small value,.20, for instance.
- the final stage thus behaves like a simple amplification stage modulated in amplitude and with inverse reaction.
- Fig. 3 When assuming, for instance,'that Fig. 3. corresponds to a point of the modulation cycle such that the instantaneous power-of the transmitter be equal to the means power of the carrier wave, Fig. 4 will then correspond to the crest point of the same cycle.
- the amplitude curve will under these conditions indicate a relative drop of 10% in the crest which value does not appear exaggerated.
- this drop can be overcome in various ways.
- this potential will, therefore, compensate in full or in part, its phase rotations.
- a potential may be applied which tends itself to fall towards the crest in accordance with the same law.
- this correction may further be eflfected by means of an auxiliary transmitter of very low power or simple amplifier G possessing the same distortion characteristic as the main transmitter Em.
- Negative feedback is added to this auxiliary transmitter or to this amplifier serving as a compensator.
- the efiective potential applied between grid and cathode will be equal to EeK Es wherein K is the coefficient of tlie inverse reaction.
- This potential will contain aside from the fundamental term all the harmonics of the principal transmitter Em (since the distortions of these two transmitters are similar) but in phase opposition Q with respect to the fundamental term.
- the phase of the small I transmitter could thus be made to lag to a lesser degree in order to be able to apply to the latter transmitter the inverse reaction.
- the potential between grid and cathode of the input tube will thus have its phase which will advance with stage.
- the potentials U1 U2 Ua and Ub obtained respectively from the chain C and from .the resistance Rs are then applied to the grids g'l and g: of the two tubes l and 2'.
- circuits shown canbe provided or modified; without departing from the scope of the invention, in accordance with any known arrangement.
- this stage also four tubes could be used which operate in pairs in syrmnetrical circuits or even a larger number could be utilized.
- modifying the phase relatransmission is substantially linear, combining said transmitted components to produce a resultant, producing voltages representative or substantial departures or said resultant from linof said voltages to augment the resultant and to thereby maintain linearity over the entire modulation range during said relaying process.
- a pair of electron discharge devices each having input and output electrodesfmeans for applying voltages from said source in phase opposition on the input electrodes of said tubes, means for applying voltage from said source in phase on the input electrodes 01' said tubes, a load connected with said output electrodes, and means for impressing voltages from said load on said input electrodes in phase opposition to said second earity, and reducing the phase displacement of a said components being transmitted'as a function named voltage impressed in phase on said input electrodes.
