Description

  

      Circuit        diviseur   <B>de</B>     fréquence       La présente invention se rapporte aux  circuits diviseurs de fréquence qui trouvent  leur application, notamment dans les oscilla  teurs à quartz utilisés comme étalons de  temps, pour la division d'une fréquence cons  tante.  



  Dans les circuits diviseurs     connus,    les ca  ractéristiques de l'élément     amplificateur    in  fluencent fortement les limites dans lesquelles  le circuit est capable de diviser, ou alors les  circuits nécessitent un très grand nombre  d'éléments.  



  L'invention a pour but, notamment, de  créer un circuit diviseur ne nécessitant que  peu d'éléments, permettant un rapport de di  vision élevé et pour lequel les caractéristiques  de l'élément amplificateur n'influencent que  faiblement les limites de division.  



  Le circuit diviseur de fréquence selon l'in  vention comporte un circuit oscillant, de pré  férence à coefficient de surtension élevé, cou  plé à l'entrée d'un amplificateur ; il est carac  térisé par la présence d'au moins trois redres  seurs ayant chacun une électrode reliée, dans  le même sens de branchement, à un point  commun connecté à une source de courant  continu destiné à magnétiser \le circuit magné  tique du circuit oscillant, les trois électrodes    des redresseurs non reliées audit point     commun,     étant reliées, respectivement, au signal à di  viser, au circuit oscillant, et à une réaction  positive venant de l'amplificateur.  



  Le dessin ci-annexé représente, à titre  d'exemple, une forme d'exécution du circuit       diviseur    de fréquence objet de l'invention,  dans laquelle l'élément amplificateur est un  transistor.  



  Dans le circuit représenté, un signal à fré  quence élevée est appliqué, par l'intermédiaire  d'un transformateur de liaison 1, à travers une  première diode 5, à un point commun 6. Seu  les les oscillations positives peuvent passer à  travers ladite diode 5. Une résistance 4 déli  mite le passage d'un courant à travers un cir  cuit oscillant 8,9 qui le magnétise. Un poten  tiomètre 2,3 à basse résistance     ohmique    réduit  la tension à l'extrémité de la résistance 4. Une  deuxième diode 7, insérée entre le point com  mun 6 et le circuit oscillant 8,9 permet audit  circuit oscillant d'osciller librement lorsque le  potentiel s'élève au point commun 6.

   Les  demi-ondes du signal à fréquence élevée étant  positives, la première, à un instant considéré,  laisse partir le circuit oscillant qui fournit une  première demi-onde     négativë    à sa fréquence  propre qui est sensiblement égale à la fré  quence divisée. Un bobinage 12, couplé au  circuit oscillant 8,9, recueille un signal appli-      que à la base d'un transistor 13. Des résistan  ces 10 et 11 assurent la polarisation convena  ble de cette base. L'onde propre du circuit  oscillant 8,9 se retrouve donc amplifiée au  collecteur et est appliquée à un transformateur  14, lequel renvoie, en réaction positive, l'onde  au point commun 6, par l'intermédiaire d'une  troisième diode 15.  



  La première partie de l'onde divisée étant  négative, elle ne peut passer la diode 15. La       deuxième    partie, étant positive, élève le po  tentiel au point commun 6 et laisse le circuit       oscillant    8,9 osciller librement. A la fin de  cette deuxième partie, l'oscillation s'arrête ou  est retardée, si les conditions de phase sont  respectées par le transformateur 14, jusqu'à  l'apparition d'une demi-onde positive du si  gnal à fréquence élevée, -et le cycle recom  mence.  



  La stabilisation du transistor 13 est assu  rée par une résistance 16 et un condensateur  17. Le signal divisé est recueilli en 18, sur un  bobinage du transformateur 14, prêt à être  divisé par un étage suivant.    Bien entendu, l'amplificateur pourrait  comprendre, en lieu et place du transistor 13,  un ou plusieurs tubes électroniques, ou encore  un ou plusieurs     spacistors.    L'amplificateur  pourrait aussi être un     amplificateur    magné  tique.



      The present invention relates to frequency divider circuits which find their application, in particular in quartz oscillators used as time standards, for the division of a constant frequency.



  In known divider circuits, the characteristics of the amplifier element strongly influence the limits within which the circuit is capable of dividing, or else the circuits require a very large number of elements.



  The object of the invention is, in particular, to create a divider circuit requiring only a few elements, allowing a high di vision ratio and for which the characteristics of the amplifying element only slightly influence the division limits.



  The frequency divider circuit according to the invention comprises an oscillating circuit, preferably with a high overvoltage coefficient, coupled to the input of an amplifier; it is charac terized by the presence of at least three rectifiers each having an electrode connected, in the same direction of connection, to a common point connected to a direct current source intended to magnetize the magnetic circuit of the oscillating circuit, the three electrodes of the rectifiers not connected to said common point, being connected, respectively, to the signal to be targeted, to the oscillating circuit, and to a positive reaction coming from the amplifier.



  The accompanying drawing shows, by way of example, an embodiment of the frequency divider circuit which is the subject of the invention, in which the amplifier element is a transistor.



  In the circuit shown, a high frequency signal is applied, via a link transformer 1, through a first diode 5, to a common point 6. Only positive oscillations can pass through said diode. 5. A resistor 4 delimits the passage of a current through an oscillating circuit 8.9 which magnetizes it. A low ohmic resistance potentiometer 2,3 reduces the voltage at the end of resistor 4. A second diode 7, inserted between the common point 6 and the oscillating circuit 8,9 allows said oscillating circuit to oscillate freely when the potential rises to common point 6.

   The half-waves of the high-frequency signal being positive, the first, at a given instant, lets the oscillating circuit start, which supplies a first negative half-wave at its own frequency which is substantially equal to the divided frequency. A coil 12, coupled to the oscillating circuit 8, 9, collects a signal applied to the base of a transistor 13. Resistors 10 and 11 ensure the suitable polarization of this base. The clean wave of the oscillating circuit 8, 9 is therefore amplified at the collector and is applied to a transformer 14, which returns, in positive reaction, the wave to the common point 6, via a third diode 15.



  The first part of the divided wave being negative, it cannot pass diode 15. The second part, being positive, raises the potential to the common point 6 and leaves the oscillating circuit 8,9 to oscillate freely. At the end of this second part, the oscillation stops or is delayed, if the phase conditions are respected by the transformer 14, until the appearance of a positive half-wave of the signal at high frequency, -and the cycle begins again.



  Stabilization of transistor 13 is ensured by a resistor 16 and a capacitor 17. The divided signal is collected at 18, on a coil of transformer 14, ready to be divided by a next stage. Of course, the amplifier could include, instead of the transistor 13, one or more electronic tubes, or even one or more spacistors. The amplifier could also be a magnetic amplifier.
