9 Claims.
This invention relates to a system for instantaneously translating the f requency components of complex audio wave forms into dynamic visible characters which may be used for various purposes. Some of these purposes may be dened as follows, speech training and study thereof, for the education of the deaf, or vibration, analysis of noise measurements or for the production of cardiograms and the like for use in medical study.
It is therefore the principal object of our invention to provide an apparatus which will be highly useful as a translator of the wave forms heretofore mentioned.
Another object of our invention is to provide kwhat We term a Sonalator which will attain the principal object at a relatiyely low cost as compared with prior art structures directed to a similar class of work. Class systems have been built which analyze audio frequencies but these have been large and expensive systems that have been commercially impractical, so it is the further object of our invention to reduce the cost of our new system as Well as to reduce its size and Weight.
Our improved system includes an audio portion or a microphone or some noise producing structure and an audio amplifier, the response of which is essentially at from 50 to 4000 cycles per second. The system also includes a frequency analyzer structure with which is associated a carrier oscillator of 100,000 cycles per second, the purpose of which is to raise the audio frequency band from 50 to 4000 cycles, up to 100,050 cycles per second to 104,000 cycles per second. This frequency band is then amplified by the I. F. amplifier, the output of which is applied to a series of quartz crystal filters spaced 135 cycles apart. These crystals which we utilize are 29 in number and they cover a range from 100,135 cycles per second to 104,015 cycles per second. By utilizing this frequency the size of the quartz crystals become physically small and light weight, which is of advantage since, if conventional and audio frequencies are used, large and heavy component parts would be required. As will be later explained, in detail, the output of each crystal filter will be rectified in order to obtain a D. C. voltage in proportion to the amplitude of the signal passing through each crystal. After pass- 2 ing the crystal filters and rectiflers to get the D. C. voltage, the D. C. output of the rectiflers is carried to the grids of a rotary beam tube which corresponds to a commutating structure.
A beam of electrons is rotated and the output is taken from a common plate and carried to a cathode ray tube, the operation of which is regulated by a synchronizing pulse which comes from the rotary beam tube. A display is obtained on the cathode ray tube in which the horizontal direction denotes time and the vertical direction denotes frequency.
With this general description of our new and improved system, reference will now be made to the drawing in which Figure 1 illustrates the general system showing one display on the cathode ray tube.
Figure 2 illustrates another display on the screen of the cathode ray tube. M illustrates a pick-up or microphone, while A illustrates an audio amplifier having a range of 50 to 4000 cycles. U is a modulator which may or may not be used. O is a carrier oscillator which is connected intermediate the audio amplifier and the I. F. amplier I, when the modulator is not used, the output of which is connected to a plurality of crystals C, twenty-nine being indicated in steps of cycles from 100,135 c. p. s. to 104,015. After bypassing the crystals C, the current is passed through filters F including the resistances R and R1 the rectifier D and condenser C. These filters are connected to their respective grids G, I to 29 inclusive, of the rotary beam tube T.
Thus a D. C. voltage is proportional to the amplitude of the signal passing through each crystal. For example, assume that frequencies of 1000, 2000 and 3000 are present at the pick up or microphone., The frequencies at the output of the I. F. amplifier would then appear as 101,000, 102,000 and 103,000 cycles per second. This means that at grid 8 for example, there would appear a D. C. voltage, the amplitude of which would be proportional to the 1000 cycle note at the microphone. At grid I5 another D. C. voltage would appear which is proportional to the 2000 cycle note appearing at the microphone and at grid 22 a D. C. voltage proportional to the 3000 cycle audio note. In other Words, any complex frequencies appearing within the band 50 to 4000 cycles per second at the microphone would be broken up into frequency bands and will appear as D. C. voltages at the output of the rectiers which are made up of R, R1, D and C. It should be noted that with this arrangement the system is substantially instantaneous. Furthermore, it may be mentioned that systems in the past have been built which analyzed directly at audio frequencies; however, the size and cost of these prior systems which differ greatly in many ways from the system of this present application, renders them commercially impractical. The tube T is of the general type such as shown in Skellett Patent No. 2,433,403 issued December 30, 1947. The tube T has a relatively large circular plate P and a co-operative or spare grid 30 and plate P1 which is connected to the vertical sweep plates 3| of the cathode ray tube. The grid 30 and plate P1 act to deliver from the rotating beam tube T a pulse to synchronize the vertical deflection of the cathode ray tube beam. The grid 32 of the cathode ray tube is connected to a video ampliiier V that in turn is connected to the common plate P of tube T. The voltage in this circuit coming from the plate P determines the brightness on the screen of the cathode ray tube.
In the tube T, E is a plurality of elements which make up the eld electrode structure. These elements are positioned so that as the beam rotates the electrons will pass through the apertures 33 between these elements to the grids G which control the amount of energy passing to the common plate P.
The screen display shown in Figure 1 is that of a steady modulated tone.
The display shown in Figure 2 is that of a soprano voice showing vibrato.
These displays are relatively simple and have been chosen merely for ease in illustrating the principles involved in our invention.
