Definitions

  • the present invention relates to systems of transmitting electric signals.
  • the invention particularly relates to the transmission by cable of signals occupying a very wide frequency band without substantial attenuation or distortion inside such a band.
  • the system applies particularly well to the transmission of television signals on long distance concentric cables. As in cases of this type it is practically impossible to ensure good transmission for a frequency band extending from several periods per second to 2 megacycles per second, this range of frequencies has been transposed to a higher range, but of the same extent.
  • a band has been chosen between about 350 kc. and 2350 kc. As it is impossible to avoid an inversion when effecting this shift in a single operation, the following method is employed: A television frequency band is modulated first of all at about 5200 kc. thus giving rise to two bands, one composed of 5200 to 3200 kc., the second from 5200 to 7200 kc. The transmission of this latter band is prevented.
  • the first band which alone is kept, forms the object of a second modulation by a frequency of about 5550 kc. giving rise to two frequency bands, one of 350 to 2350 kc. the other from 10750 to 8750 kc.
  • the transmission of the latter band is prevented a and the lower band alone maintained, is transmitted on the cable, where it can be suitably amplified from distance to distance.
  • this band is modulated by'a frequency in the vicinty of 5550 kc. which gives a band comprised between 5200 and 3200 kc. and
  • the 5200 kc. carrier is not elimiminated but is passed with the lower side band of 5200-3200 kc. and thus this carrier is converted to a frequency of 350 kc. in the second heterodyne stage of the transmitting station and is transmitted over the cable as a 350 kc. wave.
  • the first heterodyne stage at the receiving station restores this carrier to a frequency of about 5200 kc.
  • a detector stage in the receiver station is now supplied with this 5200 kc. carrier as well as with the side band extending from 5200 kc; to 3200 kc. and consequently the detection restores the original band of from to 2000 kc.
  • Fig. 1 shows the transmitter system excluding the output amplifier
  • FIG. 2 shows the output amplifier of the transmitter system
  • Fig. 3 shows the receiver system excluding the detector and output amplifier system
  • Fig. 4 shows the detector portion and the output amplifier of the receiver system with their supp y:
  • Fig. 5 shows a method of assembling the circuits shown in Figs. 1 to 4;
  • Fig. 6 shows curves employed in order to explain the invention of a'frequency amplifier device in accordance with one of the aspects of the invention
  • Figs. 7 to 8 partially show the method of connection of the input and output electrodes of the valves employed in such a device
  • Fig. 9 shows the detailed diagram of the multiplier device, and finally Fig. 10 shows the diagram of a corrector device for modulator in accordance with features of the invention.
  • the principle of modulation employed in the whole of the system is that of the modulation by application of the carrier frequency to the suppressor electrode of a pentode, the signal to be modulated being applied to the normal control grid.
  • the television or other signals are led to the control grid 3 of a modulator valve MODl shown in Fig. 1 through an attentuator corrector comprising the network I followed by a potentiometer 2.
  • the carrier frequency is brought to the suppressor electrode 4 through a transformer 5 whose secondary winding, connected to the modulator, is tuned.
  • the electrode capacity ofthe device employed to modulate the carrier wave by a modulator wave gives rise in eifectto' a passage of carrier 7 current into the output circuit which is particu larly harmful to the high frequencies owing to the fact that this capacitatively transmitted curuse of a compensating condenser 6 whose movable plate I is connected to the plate circuit of the modulator valve and whose two fixed plates 8 and 5 are connected, the one, 8, to the suppressor grid, and the other, 9, to the end of the primary winding. so that the potentials applied to the two fixed plates t and 9 of the condenser are in phase apposition.
  • the plate 9 may be connected to the other end of the secondary winding of the transformer 5 in which case the mid-point of the secondary winding would have to be earthed through a condenser of low impedance.
  • the arrangement described hereafter permits the fiux of the carrier current through the harmful capacity of the modulator system to be cancelled, while offering a high impedance to the waves produced by the modulation and if need be to the modulation waves themselves.
  • Such a device is shown in Fig. 10.
  • It consists of a circuit placed in shunt to the electrode capacity C, and composed of a condenser C1 in series with an anti-resonant circuit QzL whose elements are such that it behaves at the carrier frequency like a positive reactance, equal in absolute value to that of the electrode capacity C.
  • the band filter of the modulator intended to eliminate on the one hand the direct television frequencies and on the other hand, the upper band of modulation, is for practical reasons composed of a high-pass filter iii followed by a lowpass filter Ii.
  • the filter has been arranged so as to have its cut-ofl frequency approximately midway between the frequencies of the first and second carriers, and to have as high an attenuation as possible for the frequencies above and including the frequency of the second carrier.
  • the filter transmits both sidebands, so that the signal delivered from the filer includes not only a complete sideband below the first carrier but also a partial sideband immediately above this first carrier.
  • This partial band accompanies the complete hand through the successive stages of transmitter and receiver, and finally in the second hetercdyne stage of the receiver this partial band is superposed on the low frequency portion of the complete band to reinforce the latter.
  • both the complete and the partial bands are slightly attenuated because of the shape of the attenuation characteristic of the filter near its cut-oif. The result is that, after detection. the low frequencies arrive at the same level as the high frequencies, although they have been transmitted in duplicate by the two bands.
  • the corrector I placed at the input of the system serves to equalise the transmission of the high and low frequencies.
  • the second modulator is preceded by an ainplifier valve AMPi simply intended to give a reasonable voltage level on the grid of the second modulator.
  • the grid of this amplifier valve is connected to a suitable point on the terminal resistance of the low-pass filter H.
  • the method of modulation in the second modulator is the same as in the first. It has however not been considered necessary to compensate the capacity between the suppressor electrode and the plate of the modulating valve MODz.
  • the frequency of modulation is about 5,500 kc.
  • This modulator is followed by a low pass filter I2 which eliminates the frequencies higher than 2600 kc.
  • the output amplifier shown in Fig. 2 comprises three stages and gives an amplification of about 50 db., for the band of frequencies transmitted.
  • the two first stages respectively comprise the valves AMP: and AMP:, and the third stage employs two valves in parallel AMP4 and AMPs.
  • the anode circuits of the two first stages comprise correction inductances l3 and I4, adapted to maintain the amplification in the range to be transmitted.
  • the output of the amplifier is coupled in the example chosen to the concentric cable by means of' screened step-down transformer 15 designed to transmit the band 350-2350 kc. with negligible loss.
  • This special transformer which has a transformation ratio of 5:1 is provided with an iron dust core which completely surrounds the windings.
  • the oscillating valve OSC1 is coupled to an amplifier valve AMPs by means of a potentiometric device composed of the resistances, l6, H, which serve to adjust the tension applied to the grid of the amplifier AMPe.
  • the capacity of the grid with respect to earth is also taken into account in making this adjustment. If need be an additional anti-resonant circuit, which however is tuned as exactly as possible to the frequency of the oscillator, may be placed between the grid and earth in order to eliminate the frequencies other than the natural frequency of the oscillator.
  • the amplifier valve AMPs is a pentode whose suppressor electrode instead of being connected to the cathode as is usual, is connected to the potentiometer l8 permitting the application to the suppressor of an adjustable negative potential so as to vary the amplification of the valve in a continuous manner and to supplement the adjustment provided by the resistances I6, I I mentioned above.
  • An anti-resonant circuit l9 placed in the plate circuit of the amplifier is designed to allow for the capacity to earth of the connection 2
  • the second oscillator like the first, comprises a quartz-controlled oscillator valve OSCa, which, however, oscillates at a third of the frequency has the characteristic Ci.
  • the plate circuit of the oscillator OSCz is coupled to a system of two valves TI'R1 and 'I'I'Rc operating as frequency trebler in a manner which will be described later.
  • the output circuit of this system comprises a transformer 2! whose secondary is connected to the grid circuit of an amplifier valve AMP? by means of a potentiometer 22, 23, 24, the two latter elements forming a part of a circuit for elimination of the fundamental frequency, which circuit comprises also the resonant series circuit 25.
  • the device comprises two electron valves as similar as possible, each comprising at least one cathode, one grid and one anode and whose grids at any moment receive oscillatory voltages which are equal and of opposite sign. If the device is employed as frequency doubler the anodes are connected in parallel (Fig. '7) and if the device operates as frequency trebler in opposition (Fig. 8). On these figures, the letters bearing the subscripts l, 2, 3 represent the oscillatory voltages of the various frequencies.
  • the grid and plate characteristic of each of the two electron valves must be chosen or adjusted in a manner which will be clear from the following:
  • Curve C2 of Fig. 6 represents this characteristic plotted similarly to curve C1.
  • Fig. 9 illustrates .a practical embodiment of a device supplying the three frequencies indicated above and further comprising a corrector of amplification and two different frequency selecting devices.
  • the first represented in the branch common to the two anodes, consists of two tuned circuits La, C2 and L':, C: loosely coupledby means of a resistance R: of high value.
  • the second effectively connected between the two anodes by means of the secondary of the transformer T2, comprises two resonant circuits in parallel, one L'1, Ci tuned to the fundamental frequency, the other L:, C: to the treble frequency.
  • the coupling with the line is effected by means of a special transformer similar to the transformer l5 and an amplifier similar itself to the output amplifier already described and intended to give a suitable level in order to drive the demodulator.
  • This amplifier moreover, comprises an equalising circuit, compensating the inequality of the transmission losses of the cable for the various frequencies.
  • This amplifier not shown in Fig. 3, has its output circuit, coupled to drive the grid of the demodulator valve MOD: of the demodulator.
  • This demodulator is similar to the second modulator of the output circuit, but further comprises a feature permitting the practical elimination of the demodulation current from the demodulation products collected at the output of the demodulator.
  • This feature consists in the use of two valves of identical construction; the valve acting as demodulator MOD: acts exactly like the demodulator valve MOD: of the output circuit; the other BAL is a balancing tube whose control grid 26 is connected to earth and whose suppressor electrode is driven in phase opposition with respect to that of the demodulator valve MODz.
  • the plates of the demodulator valve MOD: and of the balancing valve BAL are connected in parallel through coupling condensers 21 and 28.
  • the common point of the cir-- cuits of the plates is connected to the moving plate 29 of a compensating condenser, whose fixed plates 30 and 3
  • the middle point of the secondary of this transformer is connected to earth through a condenser 33, of negligible reactance at the frequency of the demodulation current.
  • the cathode circuit of the balancing 'valve BAL contains a variable resistance 34 permitting the demodulation current to be cancelled in the output circuit of the demodulator.
  • a switching device 35 which permits the complete circuit of the balanc-' ing valve to be replaced by an equivalent-resistance 36 so as to be able to test the operating characteristics of the modulator valve without interference from the balancing effect of the balancing valve. It is actually necessary to unbalance in this manner in order to be able to determine in a correct manner the value 'of the demodulation voltage applied to the suppressor electrode.
  • the output filter is similar to the filter of'the first modulator. It comprises a high pass filter 3'! and a low pass filter 38 connected to each other by a resistance attenuator 39.
  • the oscillator serving for the demodulation by the demodulation system which has just been described, is quite similar to the second oscillator of the output circuit and also comprises a quartz-controlled oscillator valve OSCa, a couple of valves 'I'IRs and 'I'I'R4 operating as frequency trebler as for the output oscillator, followed by an amplification valve AMPawhose output circuit is connected to the transformer 32, which transmits the demodulation current to the demodulator system described.
  • the only difference between the input oscillator and the output oscillator consists in the fact that the tuned secondary of the output transformer of the frequency trebler system is connected to the grid of the amplifier valve AMPB by a resistance 52 composing with the anti-resonant circuit 52 a potentiometric device which at the same time exercises a selective action upon the modulation frequency.
  • the intermediate amplifier which follows the filter 38 is intended to provide a sufficient signal level on the grid of the detector.
  • This amplifier comprises four stages, giving a gross amplification of about '70 decibelsin the band of 3200 to 5200 kc. transmitted. 1
  • the circuits are composed of resistances such as 48, 49 for the first stage, placed in series, and of condenser such as 50, 5! connecting the common points of the two resistances of each pair to earth; these condensers and these resistances are ance between stages which is all the more harmful the higher the amplified frequency and the gain.
  • the detection is effected by virtue of a curved plate characteristic of a valve DET, this characteristic being of as parabolic a shape as possible so as to avoid the creation of harmonics for grid swings of several volts.
  • the required negaative grid bias may in particular be obtained by a drop of potential in the resistances 54 and 55 inserted in the return of the anode circuit of the rectifier feeding the detector DET and the amplifiers AMPia and AMP of television signals which follow it.
  • An extremely strict filtering of the negative tension of grid polarisation is necessary and is obtained by means of successive resistances 56 and 51, by-passed to earth by condensers 58 and 58.
  • the television signals comprise extremely low frequencies of the order of several periods per second
  • the condensers 60 and SI and the resistances 62 and 63 placed in the plate circuit of the detector are calculated so as to ensure transmission without distortion of phase or amplitude of the low frequencies down to a predetermined minimum frequency.
  • One difficulty in transmitting frequencies of the order of several periods per second is due to the fact that the coupling capacity 64 between the plate of the detector and thegrid of the amplifier valves must be relatively high in order to pass a very low frequency while ofiering an extremely low capacity with respect to earth in order not to shunt unduly the circuit for the high frequencies of the order of 1 and 2 megacycles.
  • the two amplifier valves AMPi: and AMPu are used in parallel so as to obtain without transformer, a sufficient voltage on the input of the outgoing cable, whose impedance is of the order of 60 to 100 ohms. Nevertheless, in order to avoid the starting of ultra-short wave oscillations, it has been found necessary to introduce resistances 65, 66 in series with each of the grids of the two amplifier valves. If need be, additional capacities of the order of some microfarads could also be inserted between one of the grids and earth or between a suitably chosen point and earth.
  • an improvement of the filtering of the power voltages is also obtained by arranging the magnetic axes of the cores of the different self inductances of filtering belonging to diflerent filter sections, perpendicular to each other so as to avoid couplings by magnetic induction.
