FILTER AMPLIFIER FOR TELEVISION SYNCHRONIZATION Filed April 2, 1956 Patented Apr. 4, 1939 UNITED STATES FILTER. AMPLIFIER FOR TELEVISION SYNCHRONIZATION Kurt Schlesinger, Berlin, Germany, assignor to Radioaktiengeselischaft D. S. Loewe, Berlin- Steglitz, Germany Application April 2, 1936, Serial No. 72,315 In Germany April 6, 1935 3 Claims.
In the television art it is usual to employ for line-synchronization purposes a light siren which comprises, for example, slots in the Nipkow disc 6 in conjunction with a lamp 1 and a photo-cell 8. If the frequency generated by the light siren is employed immediately for controlling an impulse generator, which produces synchronization impulses which are radiated by the transmitter together with the image signals, there will be found upon the reception, in the reproduction of the image, irregularities and displacement of the line edges. This is due to the fact that the synchronization frequency generated by the light siren is of an irregular character insofar as the v amplitude maxima of the frequency are not exactly equidistant and the amplitude varies, so
that for these reasons the threshold value of the .5 ,may be wholly eliminated by adopting precaution- Y ary measures as follows: I I 1. Filtering the frequency by highly selective tuned amplifiers, and
2. Filtering the light intensity of the amplitude by means of electrical limiting circuits.
The invention is illustrated by way of example in the accompanying drawing, which shows a filter amplifier of the kind in question, in which for filtering the frequency each valve is coupled with the succeeding one by way of a tuned circuit of low damping. For improving these oscillatory circuits .there is also provided a reaction coupling between the valves by the aid of the screened condenser 5. To obtain a minimum damping the tuned circuits consist of coils, which are furnished with an iron-powder core, and condensers free of losses. The final valve acts as amplitude limiting means, on the one hand by grid current fiowing in the case of positive grid potential half- 4 wave, so that there is a limitation of the grid current with the assistance of the resistance 4, and on the other hand receiving an anode potential which is limited by the resistance 3, so that the anode oscillations touch on the anode potential limit.
At the output of the amplifier there is obtained by meansof this arrangement an exactly equidistant frequency having a rectangular form of 5 curve. This alone is capable of use for the undisturbed control of an impulse generator, the threshold value of which has been set to a. certain amplitude. Apart from the filter amplifier as set out in the above, an exact filtering of the fre- 10 quency in the manner indicated can be attained only by mechanical or magnetic striction.
