Definitions

  • This invention relates to a transmitting-receiv ingcircuit-arrangement for short waves, in which for the reception, use is made of two mixing systems, to whose input-electrodes the incoming oscillations are supplied in push-pull and the local oscillations in the same phase.
  • This method of receiving has important advantages in transmitting ultra-high frequencies, as in this manner a smaller input damping and a more favourable signal-to-noise ratio is achieved.
  • Transmitting receiving circuit arrangements are known in which a tube acting as a local oscillator inthe case of reception is also used for'the generation of the oscillations to be transmitted.
  • a tube acting as a local oscillator inthe case of reception is also used for'the generation of the oscillations to be transmitted.
  • application of this method entails difficulties, as the local oscillations generated in single phasemust in this case first be converted into oscillations being symmetrical with respect to earth, in order to make them suitable for transmission by means of a dipole aerial.
  • these diificulti'es are avoded by providing means perm tting the said mixing systems or a couple of high-frequency amplifying systems preceding them and arranged in push-pull to be coupled back in such a manner that these systems generate oscillations that are transmitted by means of a dipole aerial.
  • the circuit constituted by the series-connectlon of the impedances common to the input circuits of the two mixing systems with the network formed by the non-common portions of these input circuits jointly with the input impedance of the systems, which circuitwill be referred to hereinafter as the single-phase input circuit, is preferably tuned to the frequency of the local oscillations to be used'for the reception, means being provided to couple back the mixing systems in such a manner as to generate the local oscillations thesaid circuit.
  • Th circuit-arrangement in question may comprise one or more switches by means of which such feed-hack impedances and/or damping resistances may optionally be switched in as to generate either the. oscillations to be transmitted. or the local oscillations tobe used for the reception.
  • the figure represents a transmitting-receiving circuit-arrangement in which a dipole aerial D, D" is used both for the reception and for the transmission of. oscillations.
  • a dipole aerial D, D is used both for the reception and for the transmission of. oscillations.
  • the incoming oscillations are inductively transmitted by means of an aerial coupling coil L0 to an input resonant circuit consisting of two inductances L1" and Li" and a tuning condenser C1 and whichis arranged in push-pull between the control-grids of two mixing triodes T and T".
  • junction of coils Li and; L1" is earthed through a variable condenser C2 and connected through a resistance R1 toasource of potential (not represented) whichsupplies a suitable negative biasto the controlgrids of the triode'sT and T".
  • the cathodes of the triodes T and T" are jointly connected to earth through an inductance Lawhich is coupled'with a coil L3 included in the output circuit of a local oscillator O' which is represented diagrammatically.
  • the coil La With the aid of the coil Lathe local oscillations are consequently supplied to the input circuits of the triodes by means of so-called cathodeinjection and this in such a manner that the local oscillations appear in the same phase on the control-grids of the two triodes.
  • a resonant circuit tuned to the intermediate frequency and consisting of two inductances Li and L4" and two condensers C4 and C" is connected in push-pull to the anodes of the two triodes.
  • coils L4 and L4" are connected high-frequency chokes L5 and L5" which serve to prevent the transmission of the incoming high-frequency oscillations to the receiver parts next to the mixing stage.
  • the junction of coils L4 and L4" is connected through a condenser G5, which constitutes practically a short-circuit to the intermediate frequency oscillations, to earth and through a resistance R2 to the positive terminal of a source of anode potential. (not represented).
  • the coils L4 and L4" are coupled inductively with a second intermediate frequency circuit 116,116 from which the output voltage of the circuit is taken.
  • junction of the condensers C4 and C4" is connected to the cathodes of the two triodes through impedances that will be described in detail hereinafter.
  • the input resonant circuit L1, L1, C1 will frequently have the form of a Lecher system.
  • Ihe triodes T and T" may advantageously be housed in one tube and, as the case may be, may have a cathode in common.
  • the singles phase input circuit which is constituted by the series-connection of the impedances (L2, C2) common to the input circuits of the two triode systems with the network constituted by the noncommon portions of these input circuits (L1', L1) jointly with the input capacities of the triode systems, is tuned to the frequency, which may, for instance, take place by adjustment of the condenscr C2.
  • the anode circuits of the triodes T and T include inductances L7 and L7 which jointly with the anode controlgrid capacities of the triode systems produce such a feed-back that the triode systems generate oscillations which are symmetrical with respect to earth and are transmitted by the dipole aerial D, D".
  • a modulation of these oscillations may, for example, be achieved by connecting a key S in series with the resistance R2.
  • the inductances L7 and L1" bring about a negative damping of the resonant circuit L1, L1, C1, which leads to the generation of the oscillations to be transmitted, and in addition a negative damping of the single-phase input circuit tuned to the oscillator frequency, due to which a single-phase oscillation might be generated in addition to the oscillations to be transmitted.
  • a condenser C7 is inserted in the connection common to the two tubes between the cathodes and the junction of the condensers C4 and C4", as a result of which the negative damping of the single-phase input circuit is removed again.
  • damping resistances may alternatel be included in the push-pull input circuit L1, L1", C1 and in the single-phase input circuit (for example in series with the condenser C2) In the last-mentioned case the condenser C1 and the coil Ls may be omitted.
  • the said damping resistances also, may be omitted and the oscillations to be transmitted and the local oscillations for the reception may be generated simultaneously, so that transmission and reception can take place without changing over and, if desired, simultaneously.
  • the mixing systems T and T may also be generated, as the case may be, by a couple of high-frequency amplifying systems preceding them.
