UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
CHARLES V. LOGWOOD, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR TO DE FOREST RADIO TELE- PHONE & TELEGRAPH COMPANY, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., A CORPORATION OF DELA- WARE.
Application filed May 28,
This invention relates to electrical signal systems, and more particularly to such systems wherein the three electrode audion is employed.
The object of the invention is to provide an electrical signalling system which is simple in structure, efiicient in operation, and wherein certain novel circuit arrangements employed in connection with the three electrode audion to enable certain novel results by the use thereof.
A further object of the invention isto provide in a single audion circuit arrangement a combined detector of audio frequency currents and amplifier of radio frequency currents.
Further objects of the invention will appear more fully hereinafter.
The invention consists substantially in the construction, combination, location and relative arrangement of parts, and the circuit arrangement employed in connection therewith, all as will be more fully hereinafterset forth, as shown by the accompanying drawing and finally pointed out in the appended claim, wherein Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic view showing the audion circuit arrangement embodying my invention;
Fig. 2 is a similar view showing a slightly different use of the circuit arrangement embodying my invention.
The same part is designated by the same reference character wherever it occurs throughout the two views.
In Fig. 1 I have illustrated my invention as applied to the reception of audio frequency signals wherein audioirequency signals are received from a suitable source by coil 1 of the audio frequency transformer. It is wholly immaterial, so far as my invention is concerned, from what source the audio frequency signals are received, for example, they may be received over a line wire, or they may be received through ether. The secondary coil 2 of the audio frequency transformer is preferably shunted by the condenser 3, and is connected at 1 to the terminal of the filament electrode 4 of the audion 5, the other terminal being connected to the grid electrode 6 of said audion. The grid filament circuit includes an air core transformer coil 7 shunted by a suitable and preferably adjustable capacity such as a condenser 8. The filament elec- 1921. Serial No. 473,362.
In Fig. 2 I show the invention applied to the reception of signals received from an aerial into an antenna earth system which is designated at 16, 17, 18 and 19, wherein 16 is the aerial, 17 the primary winding, 18 the variable capacity, and 19 the ground connection. The signals received are impressed by 'the primary winding 17 to the secondary winding 21, which is shunted by a condenser 3, which condenser may in either instance be variable, as shown in Figure 2, or a fixed condenser, as shown in Fig. 1.
In the foregoing arrangement, the two oscillatory circuits 87 and 21-3 are tuned to different frequencies whereby a beat note is produced. This tuning is effected so that the eat note is ultra audio or inaudible, and is not rendered audible until the rectification process of the audion 5 does so.
Many modifications and changes in detail will readily occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of'my invention, for example, the usual type of high resistance leak shown at 20 shunting a condenser 21 may be employed in the grid filament circuit. Further, many other refinements and developments in the audion art may be employed in this circuit, which, for the sake of simplicity and clarity of disclosure has been stripped of unessential details.
Havin now set forth the objects and nature 0 my invention, and having shown a structure embodying the principles of my invention, what I claim as new and useful and ductance shunted bya Variable condenser,
said input and output circuits being inductively coupled together, the tuned circuits in said input circuit being tuned to difl'erent frequencies and said source being directly associated with only one of said tuned circuits. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand on this 24 day of May A. D., 1921.
