Definitions

  • a particularly effective regulation is secured by feeding the audio potential to the control grid of a tube serving to amplify a regulation potential, especially the amplifier system of a tuning indicator tube, and. by derivingthe said potential from the plate circuit of the regulator potential amplifier tube and using it for negative feedback.
  • the influence of the regulator potential on the band width is made more intense, while, on the other hand, there result particularly high maximum negative feedback potentials.
  • the latter is controlled by means of the regulatorpotentialobtained in the righthand diode.
  • the tuning indicator tube is V3, and the screen grid type of power tube is V4.
  • the indicator tube V3 is fed through the resistances R2,. R3 withv an AVC. potential taken off across R1, and the potential is smoothed by condenserCs so as to act as an indicator control quantity.
  • the tube V3 may be of the 6E5 typ
  • the voltage across R1 isproportional to the carrier amplitude.
  • R1 is a high-ohm resistance included in the screen gridcircuit of the power tube V4 across which an audio alternating pot'ential arises. This alternating potential is ap-.
  • the negative feedback potential is intentionally taken from the screen grid circuit of tube V4 rather than from the plate circuit.
  • the plate circuit contains v a 9 kc. trap,'or stopper circuit, Sp which, if the; negative feedback potential were derived from the plate, would have the effect that, for these. frequencies, also'the negative, feedback potentialis of a minimum value, not to'mention this further difficulty that, if the said potential were; taken from theplate circuit, undesirable phase;
  • a resistance with frequency effect more particularly a choke-coil or a resonance circuit tuned to the high frequencies.
  • this offers an advantage, first, because this restricts the negative or reverse feedback still more to the high frequencies. In other words, the slope of the band width curve is made steeper.
  • an appre ciable' frequency-dependent resistance in the screen grid lead inheres action on the amplification'factor of the tube under conditions being a, function of the frequency seeing that such screen grid alternating potentials as will arise produce a negative feedback effect.
