Description

Patented Feb. 18, 1947 MULTIPLE PULSE CHARACTERISTIC COMMUNICATION SYSTEM Harry E. Thomas, Haddonfield, .N. 5., assig'nor to Radio Corporation of America,.a corporation of Delaware Application May 30, 1945, Serial No. 596,695
3 Claims.
This invention relates to the art of signalling with discrete pulses, and more particularly to improvements in pulse communication systems of the type described in my copending U. :S. patent application Serial Number 596,694 filed May 30, 1945, and entitled .Multiple pulse characteristic communication system.
The principal object of the present invention is to provide :an improved method of .and means for minimizing the eiiects of noise .or other interference upon the operation :of systems of the described type.
The invention will he described with reference to the accompanying drawing, wherein:
Figure 1 is a block diagram of a transmitter system according to the invention, and
Figure .2 is a circuit diagram of a receiver system for cooperation with the transmitter system of Figure 1.
Referring first to .Figure l, the transmitter system includes a high frequency oscillator 1,, .a power amplifier 3, and a modulator 5. The output of the oscillator l is amplified by the amplifier 3, modulated by the modulator =5, and applied to an antenna I, all in accordance with conventional practice. A pulse source 9 is arranged to produce :brief voltage pulses! at a regular repetition rate of, for example 20 kilocycles per second. .A similar source H produces pulses l2 at a repetition rate which is an integral fraction of that of the source 9, :for example 4000 cycles per second. The sources .9 and H are synchronized by a connection 13 so that every nth (in the present example, every 5th) pulse from the source 9 coincides with ,a, pulse from the source I l The pulses from the source H are made from two to ten times the amplitudes of those from the source :9. Y
The outputs i and I2 of the pulse sources 9 and II are applied to a mixer circuit I5, where they, are added together to provide a pulse train 15 comprising a sequence of four low amplitude pulses and one high amplitude pulse, repeating cyclically. This pulse train is applied to the modulatoroii, causing the transmitter to radiate a high frequency signal whose amplitude pulsates in accordance withfihe pulse train [6.
A keying device i'l supplies dot-dash or other communication signals to the transmitter whereby the pulse train I is transmitted in dot-dash groups or the like.
Referring to Figure 2, the receiver system includes a radio receiver I9 of conventional design, comprising the usual amplifier and demodulator means, and provided with an antenna 2|. The
Cit
provides an output pulse 'train'23 similar to the pulse train 16 but inverted in polarity with respect thereto. The output of the receiver 4:9 .is applied to a limiter 25 and to a peak clipper '27.
The limiter 25 comprises a 'pentode tube connected ina resistance coupled amplifier circuit and supplied with plate and screen voltages adjusted so that its output is restricted to a predetermined amplitude. This amplitude is set somewhat below that of the 20 kilocycle component pulses of the train 23. The output of the limiter 25 thus comprises a train 28 01 constantamplitude 20-kilocycle pulses.
The output of the limiter 2-5 is applied to an amplifier 29. The entire load resistance -3I of the amplifier 29 :is included in its cathode circuit. The cathode of the amplifier :29 is coupled to a counter circuit '33, comprising a capacitor 35 connected to 'a pair of oppositely polarized diode rectifiers 3! and '39. The diode 39 is connected directly to ground and the diode 31 is connected to :a storage capacitor 4|. The capacitor 41 is connected to a control grid of a gas filled discharge tube 43.
The anode circuit of the discharge tube 43 includes a capacitor 45, an inductor 41 and a resister 49. The resistor 49 is coupled to the control grid of the amplifier 29, and to a phase inverter 25!.
The peak clipper 21 comprises a resistance coupled amplifier circuit including a resistor 53 in series with the control grid connection. The resistor 53 is of such a value as to substantially limit the flow of grid current when the "control grid is positive with respect to the cathode, and to have substantially no effect when the control grid is negative with respect to the cathode.
The output circuit of the peak clipper :21 is coupled to an amplifier 55, which is designed to pass 4000 kilocycle pulses. The amplifier 55 is connected to a limiter 51, similar to the limiter 25. The output of the limiter 5-! is applied to a blocking oscillator 59. v
Theoscillator 59 comprises a tube 6| with its anode'and grid circuits coupled closely together through a transformer 63. The grid circuit includes a leak resistor and a capacitor 61. The cathode of the oscillator tube BI is connected to a voltage divider consisting of resistors 69 and H, which are connected in series across the anode supply, from 3+ to .grolmd. The couplingbetween the anode and grid circuits, and the values of the resistor 65 and the capacitor 61 are adjusted so that a pulse of current in the anode circuit induces, via the transformer 63, a voltage pulse in the grid circuit which drives the control grid positive. Grid current flows through the resistor 65, producing a voltage drop which charges the capacitor 6? in such polarity that the grid terminal is negative with respect to the other terminal of the capacitor. This negative voltage drives the grid to cutoff where it remains until the charge on the capacitor 61 leaks off. Then the circuit starts to oscillate again and another plate voltage swing occurs so that the cycle starts over again. I
The resistors 69 and H, are proportioned to bias the cathode sufiiciently positive to prevent the above described operation from recurring unless a positive impulse is applied to the control grid to initiate a pulse of anode current. However, the resistor 65 and capacitor 61 are made of such values that the operation would repeat at a rate of 4,000 cycles per second if the cathode bias did not prevent. The anode of tube 6| is coupled through a blocking capactor 13 to a utilization device (not shown) such as a recorder, indicator and other transducer.
The operation and adjustment of the receiver system are as follows:
The limiter separates the 20 kilocycle pulses from the output of the receiver [9 by eliminating the higher amplitude 4 kilocycle pulses. The limiter output 21 is amplified by the amplifier 29. Owing tothe cathode follower type of connection of the amplifier 29, the pulses of its 7 output are of the same polarity as the input pulses The counter capacitor is substantially completely charged and discharged with each pulse of the train 30. Charging current flows through the diode 31 and the capacitor 4|. The discharge current flows through the diode 39 but not through the capacitor 4|. This causes a voltage 49 to build up step-wise across the capacitor 4|.
The voltages applied to the discharge tube 43 are adjusted to prevent conduction until the voltage across the capacitor 4| has built up to a value corresponding to three steps. At this point the grid to cathode voltage of the tube 43 becomes such as to initiate discharge in the anode circuit. A surge of anode current flows through the load resistor 44, causing the voltage at the anode to drop to a value sufficiently low to stop the discharge. The current surge provides a negative voltage pulse which is applied through the capacitor 45 and the inductor 41 to th resistor 49. The values of the three last-mentioned ele ments are designed to control the wave shape of the pulse train 48 which appears across the resistor 49, in such manner that the pulses 48 each have a width equal to twice the repetition period of the 20 kilocycle pulses (that is, 100
microseconds) The pulses 48 are applied to the control grid of the amplifier 29 and have sufficient negative amplitude to cut off the amplifier 29 for a period of substantially 100 microseconds. Thus the output 30 of the amplifier 29 comprises a train of three 20 kilocycle pulses followed by an interval of 100 microseconds, then three more 20 kilocycle pulses. No 20 kilocycle pulses are applied to the counter 33 during the period of discharge of the tube 43. The above described operation repeats at the rate of 4,000 cycles per second. Consequently, the voltage 48 appearing across the resistor 49 is, in effect, a train of 4 kilocycle pulses each having a duration period of microseconds.
The pulse train 48 is applied also to the phase inverter 5|. The output of the phase inverter 5| is a similar pulse train 52, of positive polarity. The wide 4 kilocycle pulses 52 are applied to the'amplifier 55 concurrentlywith, the sharp 4 kilocycle pulses 54 from the peak clipper 21.
The amplifier 55 is biassed somewhat beyond cutoif. The amplitudes of the pulse train 52 and 54 are adjusted to such values that neither one alone can cause conduction through the amplifier 55. However, when one of the pulses 54 appears within the 100 microsecond duration period of one of the pulses 52, the amplifier 55 operates, providing a sharp output pulse 56. In the normal operation of the system, this occurs at a 4 kilocycle repetition rate. The system thus operates in the manner of a gate-the wide pulses unblocking the amplifier long enough and in synchronism so that the narrow high amplitude pulses pass through.
The 4 kilocycle pulses 56 are of negative polarity, owing to phase inversion in the amplifier 55. The limiter 5'! inverts the phase again and limits the amplitude, providing a positive 4 kilocycle pulse train 58. The pulses 58 appear across the resistor 68, triggering the blocking oscillator 59 at regular intervals. The resulting 4 kilocycle output wave 15 of the oscillator 59 is employed to actuate the transducer, not shown.
Since the blocking oscillator tends to run at 4,000 cycles per second, random pulses of noise or other interference will not control it; it waits for the synchronizing pulse from the limiter 51. High amplitude pulses occurring at frequencies other than 4 kilocycles are rejected, since the amplifier 55 is blocked, except at 4 kilocycle intervals, by the phase inverter output 52. In the present example, the amplifier 55 is operative only two-fifths of the time. Noise voltages appearing in the remaining three-fifths of the time cannot reach the blocking oscillator 6|, although they will actuate the counter 33 and may tend to shift the time at which the discharge tube 43 operates to block the amplifier 29 and unblock the 4'kilocycle amplifier 55. However, the width of the pulses 48 will allow considerable leeway in time for the desired 4 kilocycle pulses 54 to get through. It is to be understood that the pulse frequencies mentioned in the foregoing description are given only by way of example, and that other frequencies may be employed within the scope of my invention, which contemplates the use of two superimposed pulse trains of integrally related frequencies and distinguishable amplitudes. The higher frequency train is utilized to periodically unblock a normally blocked amplifier, in synchronism with the lower frequency train. This discriminates against random noise and other interference while allowing the low frequency pulse train to pass. The low frequency pulse train keys a blocking oscillator which energizes an indicator or other utilization device.
