Abstract

699,632. Noise-level measurement. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd. Aug. 18, 1949 [Aug. 27, 1948], No. 21538/49. Class 37. [Also in Group XL (a)] The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91, comprises a circuit for testing discharge lamps to determine the amount of radio-frequency radiation generated including the lamp 1, to which power is supplied from a source of alternating current comprising the shielded conductors 23 and 24 through a transformer 25 and an inductive ballast 26, a bypassing condenser 27 being connected between one terminal of the lamp 1 and ground intermediate the lamp terminal and the ballast 26 to prevent radio-frequency current from appearing in the ballast or power lines. A resistance 28 is provided in series with the lamp 1 and is connected by a shielded cable to the input circuit of the noise meter 29 and to the input circuit of the radio receiver 30. Headphones are connected to either of the instruments. The audio signal produced is brought to the oscilloscope 31 through a condenser 32 where it is seen as short-duration pulses superimposed on the lamp current wave shape. The noise meter 29 shows the microvolt magnitude of the radio frequency picked up. An electronic switch 33 is employed to show alternately lamp voltage and the audio-pulsed current wave shape, so that lamp current, lamp voltage and the radio noise generated by the lamp 1 are seen at the same instant on the screen of the oscilloscope. This subject matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
