Abstract
907,419. Automatic frequency control systems. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES Ltd. Sept. 23, 1960 [Sept. 28, 1959], No. 32783/60. Class 40 (5). A receiver local oscillator 14 is automatically tuned by a frequency discriminator with output applied through a cathode follower 1 to vary the effective resistance of a rectifier 33 in series with the tuning capacitor 34 of the oscillator 14. Further, the cathode follower output is connected through a voltage dependent resistance 43 to the junction of a resistance 44 and thermionic valve 48 series-connected with a voltage source V<SP>11</SP> so that, on switching on the receiver, the rectifier 33 is rendered conductive by the source V<SP>11</SP> and the oscillator is prevented from producing a higher (inaccurate) frequency until the valves 1, 48, 14, warm up. Thereupon the voltage on rectifier 33 is supplied by the cathode follower 1 and, since the valve 48 is then also conductive, the potential across voltage dependent resistance 43 decreases to increase its resistance and isolate circuit 43, 44, 48 to prevent it loading the oscillator circuit. As shown, valve 1 is a television I.F. amplifier, the discriminator being tuned to the video carrier I.F. with its D.C. output applied between the grid and cathode through filters 28-31. The valve 48 may have its grid and cathode connected, to act as a diode, and preferably is contained in the same envelope as valve 1. The oscillator 14 is part of the channel selector.
