  • variable-ratio impedance matching transformer is interposed between the circuit and the load, and the ratio is varied e.g. by relatively moving the primary and secondary windings of the transformer or a shorted tertiary control winding thereof. While such a device may give adequate results at relatively low power ratings, at higher energy levels the engineering problems associated with providing adequate electrical insulation and effective heat dissipation in the moving parts of the transformer while traversed by very high currents under high voltages tend to become inseparable.
  • Another method sometimes used is to provide for varying the output frequency of the oscillations over a Wide range, e.g. in a ratio of 3 to 1, by selectively switching the reactive circuit elements of the system as between series and parallel relationship, or other circuit configurations.
  • This solution is inapplicable at comparatively very high frequencies, is undesirably discontinuous in character, and introduces the further and very serious disadvantage of introducing a large change in output frequency, which detracts from the efficiency of the treatment in the case of many types of processes.
  • Objects of this invention therefore are to provide an improved oscillation generating system especially useful in connection with high frequency energy processes, and including means for simply and continuously varying the circuit adjustments so as to enable the circuit to put out an accurately controlled energy level despite wide-range variations in load characteristics; to provide such a circuit in which the circuit adjustment involves simply the adjustment of a variable impedance element, i.e. inductance or capacitance; to provide such a circuit in which the output frequency will remain substantially constant throughout all adjustments; to provide such a circuit that will be simple and economical to make, work and keep up; and that will be readily amenable to automatic control, thereby to permit a more completely automatic operation of the electrical treatments involved than was heretofore believed possible.

  • the values of the antiresonant frequencies F and F corresponding to the two humps of the curve are determined by the value of load resistance 2 and the relative degree of de-tuning present between the respective tuned frequencies F1 and F2 of the primary circuit 6-7 and secondary circuit 1-5.
  • the value of the load resistance 2 is largely uncontrollable being dependent on the instantaneous characteristics of the work undergoing treatment.

  • the reactance and capacitance values L and C for the primary circuit impedances 6 and 7 should preferably be so selected that the characteristic primary circuit impedance will only be a relatively small fraction, e.g. no higher than about 8%, of said maximum anode impedance Z1, to ensure suitable stability of the oscillatory frequency.
  • Suitable choice of the various circuit constants in accordance with the preferred teachings or recommendations just set forth lie Well within the capabilities of the average electrical engineer and such choice is not especially critical.
  • the particular frequency F or F" with which the generator frequency will lock is determined by the conditions obtaining at the instant the generator is first started up.
