TRIGGERED ELECTRONIC SWEEP GENERATOR Filed April 27, 1945 INVENTURS W @ZAQW Patented Jan. 17, 1958 TRIGGERED ELECTRONIC SWEEP GENERATOR Brian Clifford Fleming-Wiilliams and Alaric Allen, London, England, assignors' to A. C. Cossor Limited, London, England, a British company Application April 27, 1945, Serial No. 590,694 In Great Britain May 4, 1944 1 8 Claims.
This invention relates to thermionic valve circuits serving for the generation of linear potential sweeps and/or abrupt potential steps, and being of the kind comprising a valve amplifier having a point in its anode circuit connected through a difierentiating network to a point of constant potential, and having its input voltage derived from the output of this differentiating network, so that a substantially linear potential sweep of the valve anode is obtained.
A feature of the invention is the application of the output from the diiierentiating network through a resistance to the input grid of the valve amplifier; and the provision of means to maintain a voltage drop across this resistance, so as to bias the valve to cut-off while awaiting a firing pulse which will initiate a potential sweep of the valve anode.
In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 shows a circuit diagram of an arrangement embodying the invention, which, in response to the application of a firing pulse, produces at one output terminal a single linear voltage sweep, followed by automatic return, and at another output terminal an abrupt voltage step at the end of said voltage sweep; and Figure 2 shows a modified arrangement for the application of a firing pulse to the circuit shown in Figure 1.
In Figure 1, the valve V is a pentode which may be of the Mullard Radio Valve Companys EFSO' type.
Examples of component values will be given for use in conjunction with this valve to produce a circuit suitable for generating voltage sweeps having duration of the order of 100 micro-sec- A positive line voltage of 280 volts is assumed and a negative line voltage of 150 volts.
In the stable condition of the circuit the valve V is cut ofi. Diode DI is conducting and holds the potential of the anode of valve V at a value selected by the slider of potentiometer RI. Diodes D2, D3 and D4 are also conducting. Diode D2 completes a path from positive line through resistor R3 to earth; diode D4 completes a path from negative line to earth through resistors R5, R6, and diode D3 completes a path from positive line to negative line through resistors R3, R2 and R5.
The currents will be approximately as follows:
Milliamps Current through R3 2.8 Current through R2 0.4 Current through R6 0.16
The potential of the anode of diode D2 will be near to earth potential, and therefore above the range of operating potentials of the control grid of valve V which are reached during the potential sweep of the anode. The potential of the anode of diode D3 will be about 8 Volts negative, and the valve V will therefore be biassed beyond cut-off by the voltage drop maintained across resistor R2.
As the valve V is not passing current, its screen will be at positive line potential.
The stable condition is disturbed by the application of a positive firing pulse to terminal TI. This pulse may have a duration of about one microsecond, and must have sufficient power to charge condenser C3 rapidly. It will be assumed thatthe amplitude and duration of the firing pulse are sufiicient to charge condenser 03, by way of condenser C2 and diode D1, to a potential of 12 volts positive instead or about 8 volts negative, to which it was charged in the stable condition. Diode D3 is thereby cut off, and diode D4 is also cut oil as soon as the firing pulse has ceased.
When diode D3 is cut off, the potential of the control grid of valve V jumps to a less negative value owing to the collapse of the voltage drop across resistance R2, and anode current begins to flow. At the same time the potential of the anode of diode D2 falls to the new value of the control grid potential, because the current through resistance R2 has now ceased. Diode D2 is therefore cut off. Owing to the coupling through condenser Cl, the potential of the anode It of valve V jumps down by the same amount as that of the anode of diode D2. Diode DI is therefore out 01f.
The initial value of the anode current of valve V is approximately the sum of the current which has been flowing through resistor R3 (2.8 milliamps) and the current which has been flowing through resistor R4 and diode Dl (say, 0.1 milliamp). The anode and control grid potentials automatically assume appropriate values to give this anode current.
A period now follows during which the anode potential makes a linear sweep downwards. Meanwhile the control grid potential rises slightly so as to increase the anode current continuously by the small amount necessary to maintain a constant current of 2.8 milliamps through condenser CI, in addition to the small but steadily increasing current which flows through resistor R4 as the anode potential falls. During this period the screen current will be fairly steady at about 1 milliamp, producing an initial fall of screen potential of about volts.
Condenser C! and resistor R3 form a differentiating network connected from the anode of valve V to the positive line, and the control grid potential, now that diodes D2 and D3 are cut oil, is derived from the output of this differentiating network, i. e. the voltage across resistor R3.
The charging rate of condenser Cl will approximately correspond with the charging rate which it would have if it were connected in series with a resistance of value G times R3 across a direct voltage source of value G times the voltage of the positive line, G being the gain of the valve V as an amplifier in the present circuit. The sweep of anode potential will therefore be very nearly linear.
When the anode potential has fallen to about 1 volt positive, the valve V becomes unable to maintain the charging current for condenser CI. The potential of the control grid therefore rises abruptly to earth potential and diode D2 again passes current. The screen current of valve V rises rapidly to about milliamps, causing a sharp fall of screen potential of about 100 volts.
The potentials of all the electrodes of valve V now remain constant until current again begins to flow through diode D3. The period which elapses before this happens is controlled solely by the charging circuit of condenser C3 through resistor RE. From the time when diode D4 was cut off at the end of the firing pulse, condenser 03 will have been discharging, through resistor R5, exponentially from 12 volts positive towards 150 volts negative. When its charge passes zero, diode D3 again becomes conductive and current in valve V relatively gradually cut oil. The potential of the anode of valve V then returns exponentially towards that of the positive line until it reaches the value set by the slider on potentiometer RI. As current in valve V is cut oiT, the potential of the screen returns to that of the positive line. The circuit thus returns to the stable condition.
It will be seen that the potential of terminal T2 has a slight abrupt fall at the commencement of the firing pulse applied to terminal Ti, and thereafter falls linearly almost to earth potential. The potential of terminal T3 undergoes a fall of about 5 volts at the commencement of the firing pulse and then remains nearly steady until that of terminal T2 has nearly reached earth potential; thereupon the potential of terminal T3 falls abruptly about 100 volts and then remains steady for a period determined by the discharging conditions of condenser C3. The return strokes of the potentials of terminals T2 and T3 towards the initial conditions are, howver, neither abrupt nor linear.
If the gradual commencement of the voltage step at terminal T3 is objectionable, the output at this terminal may be passed through a limiter so that only the latter part of the voltage step is employed.
Figure 2 shows an alternative arrangement for substitution in place of the elemen s D5 and R6 of Figure 1'. The purpose of this arrangement is to limit the demand for power from the firing source which. is connected to terminal Ti. In this arrangement resistor R5 and condenser C3 are arranged to form a cathode load for a triode valve V2, and the firing pulses are applied from terminal Ti through condenser C2 to the grid of this valve.
The valve V 2 is biased to cut-off when the circuit is in its stable condition, just as valve V of Figure 1 is biassed to cut-cit. The bias is provided by resistor R8, which will have approximately the same value as resistor R2; and it is applied. to the grid through grid leak The firing pulses should be positive-going. When a firing pulse is applied, valve V2 is rendered conducting and its anode current charges condenser C3. When condenser C3 is sufficiently charged for diode D3 to be cut off, the circuit will operate in the same manner as has already been described with reference to Figure 1.
