  • Fig. 7 shows a preferred form of the present invention comprising a repeatered submarine cable system in which the amplifier tubes are 'energized by constant-power cathode heating ⁇ vacuum tube cathode heating element comprising two similar laments is mounted within a single cathode sleeve with the laments connected in parallel either inside the tube or externally.
  • constant current is supplied to; such a cathode heating element in combination with a suitably chosen external resistance, the power dissipated within the cathode sleeve will remain constant even lthough one of the iilaments breaks and ceases to l6 0 draw power.
  • Equation 2 If now R2 breaks or is disconnected it has been shown by Equation 2 that E should bo 14.1 volts if W1 is to be 20 watts.v At E equal to 14.1 volts:
  • R1 and R2 are non-linear resistance elements.
  • Io represent the total current through this ⁇ pair of resistors
  • Eo represent the voltage across them for one state in which the total power is at the desired level, as indicated in Fig. 1B of the drawing.

  • Equation l5 a more specific expression for R3 may be derived as follows:
  • Ei I0 is simply the resistance of a single heater iilament operated at 'the desired power level and is the resistance of the parallel heater filaments operated at the same power level.
  • Equation 24 shows that R3 should be the geometric mean of the resistances for the two conditions at which the power is to be the same. This holds even though the heater laments do not have linear resistances.
  • an extruded cylindrical insulating element l having a crosssectional dimension of the order of a small fraction of an inch, is designed to be supported in a central position in a tube of the type referred to in the foregoing paragraph.
  • the insulating ele- ⁇ ment I is surrounded by the cathode 2 which comprises a nickel sleeve 2a on which has been sprayed a cathode coating 2b comprising the usual electron emitting material.
  • the insulating element I is provided with four internal bores of the order of one-hundredth of an inch in diameter, which are parallel with the longitudinal axis thereof, and which are arranged symmetrically thereabout, so that a substantial spacing is provided between each bore and the bores adjacent thereto.
  • the bores are labeled A, B, C and D.

  • the laments 3 and 4 are respectively arranged to occupy adjacent bores, although they may be cross-connected if properly insulated at the point of cross-over.
  • the ends of the filaments 3 and 4 are brought out below the insulator I and connected in parallel to the terminals 5 and 6.
  • the teachings of the present invention can be applied in each of the specic modifications described in detail hereinafter by connecting the heating element terminals 5 and 6 to a suitable source of current and connecting the proper critically valued auxiliary resistor in series or in shunt therewith, as the case demands.
  • a twin-element tube such as shown in Figs. 2A and 2B which will be described hereinafter will be better understood by reference to the curves of Fig. 3.
  • These curves representing the current in the heating element as the function of the applied voltage are based on the operation of an experimental tube equipped with twin laments, such as indicated in Fig. 2B, in which one end of each filament is brought out through a separate tap, whereby the two filaments are readily connected either in parallel or with a single filament in the circuit, and the other disconnected.
  • Curve A which shows the voltage-current relationship for the twin laments connected in parallel
  • curve B which shows that for a single one of the laments, are plotted in coordinate axes of which the Y axis represents current in amperes, and the X axis represents voltage in volts.
  • a hyperbola C showing the locus or all points for which the power EI equals some chosen constant value, in this case 5.0 watts.
  • the intersections of the hyperbola C with the characteristic curves A and B give the operating points at which the cathode power is equal to 5.0 watts. If a line be drawn through these points extending through the vertical current axis, the point of intersection gives directly the total current I which must be supplied to the tube shunted by the re sistor.
  • the correct value for the shunting resistor R3 in accordance with the present invention is given by the negative reciprocal of the slope of this line.
  • tungsten temperature has been found to be only moderately higher when only one of the twin heater laments is operating than when both are operating.
  • inherent defects in the wire more often cause failure of heater filaments than burn-out because of excessive operational temperatures. Rupture of one lament of a pair thus does not seriously reduce the life of the other.
  • a space discharge device T of the type described, with reference to Figs. 2A and 2B hereinbefore, has a cathode heating element comprising twin heater filaments 3 and 4 connected in parallel within the sleeve of the electron-emitting cathode 2.
  • the heating element comprising filaments 3 and 4 is connected in series with a substantially constant source of current 1, which may be construed as any electrical system having a resistance of such relative magnitude that rupture of one of the laments 3 or 4 causes a substantially inappreciable change in the total current through the system.
  • a silicon carbide varistor 8 Connected across the heating element terminals in parallel with the twin filaments 3 and 4 is a silicon carbide varistor 8 of the type described in the article by Grisdale, supra, and designed in accordance with the teachings of this invention to maintain the dissipation of power into the cathode 2 substantially constant, irrespective of the rupture of one of the iilaments 3 or 4.
  • the potential saving in power which might be achieved using a circuit such as shown in Fig. 5 is shown by the broken line curve D of Fig. 3, which represents a possible current-voltage characteristic of the varistor 8.
  • the curve D indicates a reduction of 50 per cent in the current wastage in the circuit of Fig. 4, over that required in a circuit, such as shown in Fig. 1, in which Re is linear.
  • ballast lamp such as is disclosed in an article entitled The ballast resistor in practice by H. A. Jones, General Electric Review, volume XXVIII, No. 5, May 1925.
  • the design theory of such devices is discussed further by the same author in an article entitled The theory and design of ballast resisters in the September 1925 issue of the same periodical.
  • a resistor of this type for use with a cathode heating element having the characteristics illustrated in Fig. 3 should pass a current of 0.300 ampere at some voltage in the :dat section of its characteristic, and at a voltage 7.7 volts lower should pass a eurent of 0.205 ampere.
  • Fig. 4 illustrates the way in which this ballast lamp would function.
  • Curves A, B and C here are the same as in Fig. 3.
  • Curve F shows the calculated ballast lamp current as a function of the supply voltage minus the ballast lamp voltage. It is apparent that 4for a supply Voltage of approximately 26 volts the desired conditions are met. The saving in supply voltage in this case in comparison with that for use of a linear series resistor is thus of the order of l5 volts.
  • an electron discharge device T such as described hereinbeiore with reference to Figs. 2A and 2B, has a cathode 2 energized by twin parallel-connected heater laments 3 and 4, which are connected in series with a ballast lamp 9 of the type described, and a source of substantially constant potential, such as the storage battery l0.
  • This circuit functions in the manner described hereinbefore to maintain the power dissipated within the cathode 2 substantially constant, irrespective of the rupture of one of the twin iilaments 3 or 4.
  • the regulation 0I the power source should be such that a change in the current load from Io to Io causes a change in the voltage across the cathode heating element from Eo to En. If the regulation is too good, as in the constant voltage case, it must be made poorer by use of a series resistor. If the regulation is poor, as in the constant current case, it must be improved by use of a shunt resistor. In any case, the resistance between the terminals of the cathode heating element looking back from that element should be adjusted to have the value Two yfurther itemsof interest may be developed from a study of the curves of Fig. 3.
  • the total power including loss in Re with both filaments functioning is EOI Aand amounts, for example, in the actual case shown, to 8.45 watts.
  • the useful power actually supplied to the cathode was watts, the indicated efciency thus being about 59 per cent.
  • the indicated voltage rise when one filament opens would be Eo'-E0 or 7.8 volts, or about 47 per cent of the normal voltage across the heating element. If several tubes in series are being considered, the voltage rise brought about -by a single open filament wouldynot be excessive from a practical standpoint.
  • twin heater filaments referred to in the foregoing discussion might be of any conventional type. While some forms might afford less wastage of power than others, and therefore, be more desirable, any Atype can theoretically be used. Moreover, from the theory set forth hereinbefore it is ⁇ apparent that three or more heater laments of equal resistance might be used in parallel with any of the circuit arrangements of the present invention, the value of the resistor R3 being correspondingly modified.
  • a preferred embodiment of the present invention which is shown in Fig. 7 -of the -drawings contemplates the use of a multiplicity of heater circuits designed in accordance with the principles hereinbefore set forth, which are connected in series ⁇ to energize the cathodes in the repeater amplifier stages in an extended undersea cable system for the transmission of speech and telegraph signals, such as disclosed in the patent vto O'.

  • the heater circuits may assume any of the forms described hereinbefore which are adapted to operate with a substantially constant supply of current, such as those in Fig. 1A, 1B and 5, and including an arrangement of heater elements such as described with reference to Figs. 2A and 2B.
