This invention relates to a frequency changing device or a device for wavelength transformation, more particularly of very short waves. In superheterodyne reception'oiultra-shOrt waves it is generally necessary for the oscillator tube to generate oscillations whose fundamental frequency is a subharmonic of the auxiliary oscillation required for the mixture, since the generation of an oscillation of very high and sufliciently constant frequency involves practical drawbacks. Circuits for wavelength transformation or ire-v quency changing have previously been proposed in which the oscillations of ultra-short wavelength to be received are supplied in pushr-pull to the device, since thus practical'advantages are.
obtained, such as a decrease of the'daniping of the high-frequency oscillations.
The invention has for its purpose to provide a similar device for frequency changing or wavelengthtransformation in whichthe damping of the'high-frequency input circuit is reduced to a minimum and in which, in addition, the advantags is obtained that substantially no oscillations locally generated can penetrate into the highfrequency section. The circuit- 'of this device may be made very simple from'the point of view of construction while even if the fundamental wave of the oscillations locally generated is used as an auxiliary oscillation for the frequency transformation, there is no risk of the auxiliary oscillation being pulled along by the high-frequency oscillation.
According to the invention, for this purpose, in a device for wavelength transformation, more particularly of ultra-short waves, which come prises two identical rectifying systems and an oscillatory system in which the received highirequency oscillations are supplied in push-pull.
to the two rectifying systems and the'intermediate-frequency oscillations are derived in pushpuli from the two rectifying systems, thecathodes of the three systems are connected to eachother for high-frequencycurrentsand connected, via circuit elements constituting ahigh impedance at least for the auxiliary oscillation used for the frequency transformation, to a point of constant potential.
In this device use is preferably made of a discharge tube containing two diodes and a triode, of which the cathodes are connected toseach other inside the tube.
The invention will tie-explained more .iully by reference to theaccompanying-drawings in which Fig. 1 discloses one embodimentiof a frequency changing system according to me -invention.
' high frequency Lecher wire system is replaced by a high frequency tuned circuit; Fig. 3 is a further embodiment in which thehigh frequency circuit is constituted by a Lecher wire system capacitively coupled to the diode anodes and the intermediate frequency circuitis coupled to the diode anodes by means of high frequency chokes;
and Fig. 4.- is an embodiment which is the electrical equivalent of that shown in Fig. 3 but in which the intermediate frequency circuit assumes a different construction.
'Referringto Fig. '1 there is shown a tube I which contains two diodes 3, Z and 4, 2, together with a'itriode ii, 6, 2, of which the cathode 2 is common. The grid 5 and the anode t of the triode are connected to a Lecher system 1 which is so tuned by the shorting bar '5' that the triode system generates oscillations whose frequency is a subharmonic' of the sum of the frequencies of the received oscillations and the intermediate=irequency oscillations, it being possible to use'any subharmonic whether even or odd. An impedance comprising an induction coil 8 is connected between the cathode 2 and earth, so that the-cathode 2 has applied thereto an alternating voltage relatively to earth which has the frequency of the auxiliary oscillation required for the frequency transformation. .The two diodeanodes Sand 4 are connected to a Lecher-systern 9 which has the received oscillations from a radio frequency input circuit 38 supplied to it by means cf the'slidingconnections 31 and 32. In the embodiment concerned the tuning of this Lecher system is effected by sliding an intermediate frequency circuit it, made as a unitary structure and comprising a condenser H and a coil M, on the 'Lecherwires into the correct'position. The condenser H has such a value that it'substantiallyconstitutes a short-circuit for the received high-frequency oscillations. Since, on the one hand, the: received oscillations are supplied in push -pull to thediode-anodes 3 and 4 and, on the other hand, the cathode 2 has a high-frequency potential relatively to earth which has the frequencyv of the auxiliary oscillation required for the frequency transformation, it is evident that mixture will occur in the diodes so that the intermediateeirequency oscillations are taken off in :pushepull from the two, diodeeanodes 3 and an -h nceirem the-cir u t lit- Since in this circuit the cathodes of the two diodes are directly connected to each other, the damping exerted by the tube I upon the Lecher system 9 is very weak. The same remark applies, though to a less extent, if use is made of separate diodes. In this case the cathodes should be connected to each other by as short a conductor as possible. It is also clear that oscillations of the frequency of the oscillations locally generated cannot penetrate either into the intermediate-frequency section, or into the high-frequency section as such, while there is no risk of the auxiliary oscillations being pulled along by the received oscillations, even if their frequencies approach each other, since the oscillations locally generated are supplied as single-phase oscillations and the highfrequency oscillations are supplied in push-pull to the device.
Consequently the circuit IE! is preferably made completely symmetrical relatively to the Lecher system 9. In this case the contact points l2 and I3 can also be connected to tappings on the coil M of the circuit H] which are symmetrically provided relatively to each other. Thus the additional advantage is obtained that the impedance of the intermediate-frequency circuit may be better matched to the diode, since at the points of the contacts [2 and [3 a potential node for the high-frequency oscillations willoocur, high-frequency oscillations cannot penetrate into the intermediate-frequency circuit l0.
Another embodiment in which the high-frequency and the intermediate-frequency circuits do not act upon each other is shown diagrammatically in Fig. 2. Similar parts to those in Fig. 1 are indicated by the same reference figures. In this case the high-frequency circuit RF is not a Lecher system, but a tuned circuit constituted by a condenser l5 and two coil halves l6 and I6 of equal value which are connected to each other by a condenser H. The intermediate-frequency circuit [0 is constituted by a coil I4 and two condensers H and H of equal value which are connected respectively to the electrodes of the condenser ll. Consequently, the intermediatefrequency circuit is so to speak connected to a tapping of the high-frequency circuit, and the condenser H which must have a low impedance for the frequencies of the received oscillations may have such a value that the most advantageous matching of the intermediate-frequency circuit to the'diodes is obtained.
A further embodiment is shown diagrammatically in Fig. 3. Similar parts to those in Fig. l are again indicated by the same reference numbers. The high-frequency circuit constituted by a Lecher system 9 is connected to the two diodeanodes 3 and 4 via condensers l9 and 20 which for the adjustment of frequency may be variable, i
if desired, and which have a high-impedance for the intermediate-frequency oscillations, but a low impedance for the high-frequency oscillation. The two extremities of the intermediate-frequency circuit H] are connected to the two rectifier anodes 3 and 4 via choke coils 2| and 22 which constitute a high impedance for the highfrequency oscillations and a low impedance for the intermediate-frequency oscillations. It is evident that in this circuit, like in that shown in Fig. 2, the currents'of the high-frequency and the intermediate-frequency circuits cannot act upon each other so thathigh-frequency oscillations cannot penetrate into the intermediatefrequency section andintermediate-frequency os- 4 cillations cannot penetrate into the high-frequency section.
If desired, the conductors 2E and 25 may also be made as a Lecher system for the high-frequency oscillations, in which case according to the invention the condensers l9 and 29 may preferably be so tuned that the circuit It may be connected via the choke coils 2i and 22 to a potential node of the conductors.
Fig. 4, in which similar parts are again indicated by the same reference numbers, shows an embodiment of the invention whose circuit arrangement substantially corresponds to that of the preceding embodiment, but whose construction is different. The intermediate-frequency circuit H1 is here constituted by two cylindrical conductors 26, 21 axially aligned but both concentrically arranged with respect to an outer cylindrical conductor 28 closed at its opposite ends, one end of each of the first-mentioned conductors being connected, respectively, to one of the closed ends of the outer conductor 28.
The high-frequency oscillations received for example by the dipole c are conducted by a first Lecher system 9, via'condensers it and 2t and a second Lecher system i l-25 passing through apertures 11, b, in the outer cylindrical conductor 28 to the diode-anodes 3 and i. The Lecher system 24-25 is connected at points 2% and 2'! to the cylindrical conductors 2t, 2? of the intermediatefrequency circuit. The points 25 and 2'1 on the Lecher system 2 1-25 are then so positioned as to coincide with a potential node for the high-frequency oscillations. The points 26 and 2'! on the circuit H] are so positioned that the impedance of the part of the circuit iii between points 26' and 21 is a maximum for high-frequency oscillations.
Using an intermediate frequency circuit of very low damping, it is thus ensured that the intermediate frequency and the high-frequency oscillations remain separated in a big ly effective manner.
