Abstract

491,693. Wireless receiving circuits. HAZELTINE CORPORATION. Dec. 30, 1937, No. 36168. Convention date, Jan. 21. [Class 40 (v)] The selectivity of a radio receiver is automatically varied in accordance with signal strength by utilizing A.V.C. potentials applied to at least one stage, in conjunction with a limiter to limit the maximum band width of that stage to a value corresponding to the modulation band width of the received signal. The I.F. stage of a superheterodyne receiver comprises a forward amplifier 31 and a triode 37 having a sharp cut-off characteristic and forming part of a reverse feed-back path coupled at 38, 40 to the output and input circuits 27, 26 respectively of amplifier 31. The gain of the preselector 1, frequency changer 3 and I.F. amplifier 31 is controlled by the A.V.C. diode 14 over lead 8, while the biassing resistances 32, 33 which are common to the two valves 31, 37 are such that the reverse feed back valve is biassed to cut-off at inputs at or below the sensitivity limit of the receiver. The A.V.C. voltage thus directly varies the slope of valve 31 which in turn varies that of 37, the selectivity varying in accordance with change of product of the mutual conductances of the two valves. The characteristics of the valves must vary at different rates with variations in A.V.C. bias, and with this system the bandwidth passed increases with applied bias to a maximum and then again falls. To prevent this, an auxiliary control circuit is provided, comprising lead 44 from the junction of resistances 10, 45, a diode limiter 46, the lower part of the voltage divider 47 and through the earth connection and the resistance 33 to the cathode of the A.V.C. diode 14. The limiter 46 is in shunt with the resistance 33 and lower part of divider 47 in series, the voltage across the two latter being opposed to that developed across the A.V.C. resistance 16. Up to a certain value of A.V.C. bias determined by the slider on divider 47, the limiter is inoperative, this bias corresponding to maximum bandwidth. Thereafter, further increase in bias energizes the diode 46 which prevents further change and the ensuing droop in the bandwidth-bias characteristic is eliminated. Specification 426,803 is referred to.
