11 Claims. (Cl. Z50-36) This invention relates Ytofrequency modula-f` tector of the synchronized oscillator type which` is characterized in that it does not absorb powerl from the source of frequency-modulated signal, and it is insensitive'to amplitude variationsand therefore does not require' the use .of a limiter.
in thedetector system of the said co-pending application, the oscillator is synchronized with the frequency-modulated carrier signal by a radio frequency control vol-tage which is in quadrature relationto the oscillator signal.
The present invention relates to a system which closed in the said co-pending application, but which diifers specifically from that system in respect to the manner in which the quadrature control signal is derived. Like the system of the said,
`20 y embodies the broad principles of the system dis"` co-pending application, the system provided by` the present invention does not absorb power from and is insensitive to amplitude modulation.
The principal object of the presen-t invention,
therefore, is to provide a novel frequency modu-- lation-responsive .circuit which is insensitive t amplitude modulation.
Another object of the invention is to provide a circuit which is capable of transmitting frequency modulation with substantial power gain.
A further object of the invention is to provide an improved frequency modulation detection system comprising a novel frequency modulation amplifier circuit and a frequency modulation detectorby means of which combination the fre" quency-modulated signal is efficiently detected without response toamplitude modulation and without employing any amplitude limiter.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a novel frequency modulation-responsive circuit of the synchronized oscillator type in which theoscillator is synchronized by means of a quadrature signal derived by uniqueoperation of a synchronizing tube, as described hereinafter.
2 Other objects and features of the invention will be apparent from the following detailed description in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which Figs. 1 to 3 are schematic illustrations Aof different embodiments of the invention; and
Fig. 4 comprises a series of explanatory diagrams.
Referring first to Fig. l, there is illustrated one form `of a frequency modulation detection system embodying the present invention. The system comprises essentially a vacuum tube I, an oscillator 2, certain connections hereinafter described by which the tube I is adapted to synchronize the oscillator with a frequency-modulated signal, and a frequency modulation detector 3 connected to the oscillator so as to receive a frequency-modulated signal therefrom. w Since the purpose of tube I is to synchronizelthe oscillator 2 with the incoming frequency-modulated signal, tube I may be aptly designated the synchronizing tube, and it willbe thus referred to in the description. The synchronization of` i the oscillator 2 is accomplished, according to the present invention, by a unique class C operation of the tube I, which will be described later with specific reference to the explanatory diagrams of Fig. 4. i
"Ihe synchronizing tube I is a multi-grid tube having RF input grids 4 and '5, and an output electrode or anode 6. The tube is adapted to receive a frequency-modulated signal by way of the coupling condenser 'I andthe grid resistor 8. Ii desired, acathode resistor 9 and shunt condenser I0 may be employed as a biasing means for the control grid- 4. Y
The oscillator 2', as shown in Fig. 1, may comprise a tuned plate oscillator circuit operating in the usual class C manner. Such circuit may comprise a tube I l, a resonantV tank circuit I2 including shunt-connected inductance and capacitance elements I3 and I4, and an inductive feedback circuit I5 vincluding coil I6, condenser Il and resistor I8; The necessary'plate Voltage for tube IImay beV supplied by the connection I9 to the mid-point of the inductance coil or winding I3.
The anode or plate -6 of the synchronizing tube I is connected to the upper endof the tank circuit I2 through=condenser 20. The necessary plate 3 of the D. C. plate voltage is such as to effect a de'- sired operation of the tube I as will be described further hereinafter. The grid 5 of tube I is connected to the lower end of the tank circuit I2 through the condenser 22, and this grid is also supplied with a bias Voltage by way of resistor 23. The specic value of the bias voltage applied to grid 5 is also important in that it helps to effect the desired operation of tube I, as will be seen later.
The frequency modulation detector 13.; may be oi conventon`alform ahd therefore', it y,isnrl'eprevsented simply in block form. For example, the detector may be of the well known Seeley type, and may be coupled in any suitablemanner tothe plate circuit of the oscillator tub'el I. The audio output from the detector is derived by way of the output connection 24.

tive to amplitude modulation.l .Any amplitude modulation of the incoming signal willnot produce, nor aect,A the control action above described, and will not affect the oscillator. Thus it will be seen that the system discriminates againstany amplitude variation or modulation of the incoming signal, without theaid of `a limiter.V n I Furthermore, the system does not absorb power from the source of frequencyjmodulated signal, and only a small input signal is'required. The quadrature signal for synchronizing the oscillator is produced entirely by the synchronizing tube circuit under control of the input signal voltage. Moreover, it should be noted that the current pulses delivered from the synchronizing tubeV to the oscillator tank circuit do not. affect the energy in the tank circuit, since thepulses are delivered thereto when the tank voltage is midway between its maximum and minimum values, i. e. when the tank voltage is passing through its zero value.
By reason of its novel'features, the-system is adapted to discriminate completely against ainplitude modulation and to transmit frequency modulation with substantial power gain. The frequency-modulated signal is readily detected by a conventional frequency modulationdetector as represented by the block 3.
In Fig. 2, there is shown arnodied form of the system in which the oscillator 2 is of a different type than that employed in Fig. 1. In this instance, the tank circuit `I2 is connected in the grid circuit of the oscillator tubeA II, and-issupplied with feedback voltage by way of the coil 25 connected in the cathode circuit. Plate voltage for the synchronizing tube I is supplied b-y way of the connection 26 to the midpoint of the tank coil I3. It will be noted further that the grid 5 of tube I is connected to ground, the bias therefore being derived in part by means of the resistor-condenser combination 9--I IJ, and in part by means of the grid condenser-grid leak combination 22-23.
Except for the specific differences noted, the system of Fig. 2 is similar to that of Fig. l, and the corresponding elements in Fig. 2 are simi* larly designated. The system of Fig. 2 operates in the same manner as does that of Fig. 1, as hereinbefore described.
In Fig. 3, there is illustrated a further modification of the system in which the synchronizing tube I has two grids 5a and 5b in place of the grid 5 of the preceding figures. The two grids 5a and 5b are coupled to the opposite ends of the tank circuit I2 through condensers 22 and 2l respectively. The oscillator 2 is similar to that of Fig. 2.
In the operation of the system of Fig. 3, the grids 5a. and 5b control the production of the plate current pulses. Thus the voltages applied to the grids 5a and 5b control the plate current pulses in the same way that the voltages ep and eg in Fig. 4 perform this function. Except for the brief pulse intervals, the voltage on one or the other of the grids 5a and 5b is below the plate current cut-olf value, thus preventing plate current from flowing during most of each cycle. The two grids should of course be properly biased to obtain the desired control action. The bias for these grids may be obtained from the resistor- As previously indicated, the system is insensi- .condenser combination 9-I0, or it may be obd vtainedvfrom an additional bias source.
Although the invention has been described with particular reference to the several embodiments illustrated, it willbe4 apparent that it isrcapable .of other forms of physical expression, and is not `to be limited by the disclosure herein,' but only bythe scope of the appended claims.
