Definitions

  • This invention relates to a circuit for demodulating frequency-modulated oscillations by means of a ratiodetector of the type comprising two coupled circuits, two rectifiers and an RC-filter which ofiers substantially a short-circuit to the modulation frequencies. Its particular object is to improve in a simple manner the characteristic curve of a frequency-detecting circuit of the said kind on reception of larger input amplitudes.
  • the said RC-filter comprises a VDR-resistor.
  • VDR-resistor is to be understood to mean a resistor body, the resistance of which greatly decreases with increasing voltage irrespective of the direction of the voltage impressed.
  • the material used to constitute such a resistor is frequently silicon carbide.
  • the frequency-modulated input oscillations produced across the anode circuit of a tube 1 and required to be demodulated are fed via two circuits 2 and 3, which are about critically coupled and tuned to the input frequency, to two rectifiers 4 and 5 opposite in conductive direction, the output of which includes an RC-filter comprising a resistor 6 and a capacitor 7 and ofiering substantially no resistance to the modulation frequencies.
  • an RC-filter comprising a resistor 6 and a capacitor 7 and ofiering substantially no resistance to the modulation frequencies.
  • Via a coil 11 tightly coupled to the inductance of the primary circuit 2 the midpoint of the secondary circuit 3 is connected to a detector-output filter 8 so as to permit the demodulated oscillations to be abstracted from an ouput terminal 9.
  • a ratio detector exhibits full limiting only for a given value of the mean input amplitude.
  • a VDR-resistor 10 is connected in parallel with the RC-filter 6, 7.
  • the values C are widely differing for the various types in which the said resistors are to be had.
  • the value of B ranges about between 0.2 and 0.35.
  • Fig. 2 shows a known modification of the ratio detector of Fig. 1, the rectifiers 4 and 5 having the same conductive direction and their output including a detector filter 14 comprising two resistors 15 and 16 and two capacitors 17 and 18, the points of connection to which are connected via the above described RC-filter 6, 7 which according to the invention, has the VDR-resistor 10 connected in parallel therewith.
  • the other reference numerals designate like circuit elements as in Fig. 1.
  • a ratio detector for demodulating frequency-modulated oscillations comprising first and second resonant circuits in coupled relationship, means connected to supply said oscillations to said first resonant circuit, a pair of seriesconnected capacitors, a first diode having an anode connected to one end of said second resonant circuit and a cathode connected to one end of said series-connected capacitors, a second diode having an anode connected to the other end of said second resonant circuit and a cathode connected to the other end of said series-connected capacitors, a pair of series-connected resistors connected in parallel with said pair of series-connected capacitors, a coil coupled to said first resonant circuit and connected at one end to said second resonant circuit, the other end of said coil being connected to the junction between said pair of series-connected capacitors, a resistance-capacitance filter for by-passing modulation frequencies, said filter comprising a resistor and a capacitor connected in parallel combination, said combination being connected at one end to
