- the regulating contact of the potentiometer is connected, as the case may be, with the interposition of suitable impedances, bothto.
- a simple radio-receiver with a particularly effective control of the amplification may be obtained if the said receiver is constructed as a superheterodyne reflex-receiver wherein both the intermediate-frequency oscillations and the lowfrequency oscillations derived therefrom after amplification and detection are amplified in the same discharge system, in which automatic control of the amplification is utilized.
- the aerial is connected, through the intermediary of a coupling'condense'r l'; to a potentiometer which consists of two resistances 2 and 3 and which is connected to the secondary terminals of a loudspeaker transformer 4, from which the voltage to be fed back negatively is taken.
- the regulating contact of the potentiometer is connected, on the one hand, through the intermediary of an input oscillatory circuit 5 which is tuned to the high-frequency oscillations to be received, to the control grid of a heptode system 6 which serves to change the quency and low-frequency volume-controls results 5 Claims.
