U'Ni'rED STATES PAFEN'` @FFECE lantern KIMBALI. IQTTER, or NEW YORK, N. Y., AssIGNoR To AMERICAN TELEPHONE ELERAPH COMPANY A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK RADIO RECEIVING CIRCUIT ,y Originalapplicationfiled December 4, 1926, Serial No. 152,659. Divided and this application filed September 20, 1928.
rlfhis application is a division of my copending application filed December 4, 1926, and vgiven Serial Number 152,659.
This invention relates to radio receiving 6 circuits, and more particularly to methods of and means for overcoming fading effects in radio reception.
It has been discovered that in night-time transmission of radio signals, at least at the wave lengths used in broadcasting, the signals sent from a point of transmission to any point of reception follow at leastV two major paths. One of these paths is a direct path between the transmitter and the rec-eiver, while the other path is devious and apparently of considerably greater length than the direct path. It appears further that these two major paths are in a common vertical plane between the transmitter and the receiver, and that the direct and indirect signal energy components receive-d at the distant point combine at a space angle in this plane.
It is the object of my invention to overlcome the fading effects due to the'existence of these two major transmission paths, and thus to provide for satisfactory reception during the periods when such fading is observed with the ordinary receiving system.
In general, I accomplish the desired result by establishing two receiving points 1n a I' 1 1MM emu-L um nm'nf. n#
serial No. 307,168.

Fig. 3 comprises two vector diagrams in dicating the phase relations of Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 shows diagrammatically a second sent from T will reach the receivers R1 and Rgover a direct path DP. Also, the signals Will reach the receiver R1 over some such path as IPl and the receiver R2 over some such path as 1132. The horizontal separation of the two receivers may be made s uch that the signals received at the two points over either the direct or the indirect path ticalz'phme vluetvfveeni the point oftialismission and any point of reception,:twov radio? receivers substantially in a com-mon verticai piane withy the point of. transmission? said reeeivei's being; separated; onerom anotheivby a such that the: signals reoe-ivecl 'in the two yreceivers over the one path Wfl-1L, he .Completely ont odi phase and-,the signals received oveirhhe @the/rpath 'will1 have apositive ieetor sum1` f f l .6- A system for" receivingiadio signals off a given freqmeiaey which folio-W: both a i" 'est path; and; a-nr'iiiiiiifeet path in a single: vertice piane between the poi-at off' transmission and any point Vot' reception, said` system comprising; two radio receivers substantially in. a common vert-ic'alnpllane with the pointof transmission, saidZ -reee-ivei's being separated one. fi'om'another a distance such' that the signals received--Y in the' tivoreceivers over the onerpath will be complete-1y out oil pli-ase :met the signalsreee-i-Ved: over the other` path Wiili have a; positive veotoi suini-l, meansfor oomhiningrthe' outputs; ofi thev two receivers, a detest-oir, and means for impressie g' the oom.- hiiied' output the-Ixion'.V f
