4 Claims.
This invention relates to electron ray indicator tubes and is a division of my copending application, Serial #345,918, led July 23, 1940.
In frequency modulation receivers it is eX- tremely important that the receiver be tuned to the exact center of deviation of the transmitted wave in order to avoid distortion and noise. Previously known systems, of which I am aware, for indicating correct tuning of frequency modulation receivers depend on the use of a meter or electron ray tube so connected as to give an indication proportional to the voltage developed on the grid of the limiter stage in the receiver, avery sensitive zero center voltmeter across the output of the discriminator stage, or a dual shadowY electron ray tube with one of its associated amplifiers connected to one end o-f the discriminator" output circuit and the other connected as a phase inverter. Correct tuning in the first mentioned system is indicated by a maximumgrid potential or a closure of the shadow of the electron ray tube. However, this system is rather insensitive to variations in tuning since the response characteristic of the tuned circuits in the receiver is quite broad. It is, therefore, difficult to adjust the receiver for equal response to equal frequency deviations on each side of the midfrequency. Furthermore, the maximum response at this point in the receiver has no relation to the tuning of the discriminator stage and ifany change in tuning takes place there the tuning indicator can no longer be relied upon.
VZin theI last of the above mentioned systems proper tuning is indicated by equal sized shadow areas on both sides of the tube. The comparison of a two shadow area is attended with some difficulty since the broadest parts of the shadows are separated by a considerable distance.
The use of a Zero center Voltmetcr overcomes the foregoing disadvantages but it is expensive and easily damaged.
-An object, therefore, of the present invention is to overcome the above mentioned difficulties.
A further object of the present invention is the provision of a simple, inexpensive system for indicating correct tuning of a frequency modulation receiver, l
Another object of the present invention is the provision of an electron ray structure for giving an indication of the relative intensities of a pair ofpotentials in the form of substantially triangular shadow/ areas with variable length bases, said bases' being closely adjacent for ready comparison;
" Still a further object is the comparison of the relative magnitudes of a pair of independent potentials.
The foregoing objects, and others which may hereafter appear, are attained by providing a novel form of electron ray indicator tube having a luminous coating 0n an anode in the form of a pair of intersecting plane surfaces between a pair of separate emitting cathodes and shadow control electrodes. The line of intersection of the planes is in a plane perpendicular to a line between said cathodes. Electron beams `from each of the cathodes impinging on the adjacent surface of the anode cause the luminous material thereon to fluoresce. The control electrodes cast triangular shadows on the anode, the width of the shadow at the apex of the anode being proportional to the Voltage applied to the ray control electrodes. Since the widest parts of the shadows are closely adjacent they may be readily compared.
The present invention may also be embodied in a pair of conventional single shadow electron ray tubes with their areas placed as closely adjacent as possible, or a tube of the type disclosed in a prior Roberts Patent #2,175,700, granted October l0, 1939, may be utilized, interposing between the end of the tube and the eye of the observer a pair of reversing prisms so that the widest parts of the shadows appear adjacent to each other.
The present invention will be more fully understood by reference to the following detailed description, which is accompanied by a drawing in which Figure 1 is a circuit diagram illustrating the application of my invention to the discriminator circuit of a frequency modulation receiver; Figure 2 is an end View of an embodiment of the present invention and illustrates the indication given when employed in a circuit as shown in Figure 1; Figure 3 is a View partly in section of the embodiment of Figure 2, while Figure 4 illustrates a modication of the invention.
In Figure 1, I indicates generally a discriminator transformer of the frequency modulation receiver. Frequency modulated signals of a constant amplitude are applied to the primary II. To the secondary I2 of the transformer are connected the anodes of rectifier tube I4. The windings of the transformer are tuned to the desired frequency by means of adjustable condensers I3, i3. Across the cathodes of rectifier I4 is connected an output circuit comprising resistors I5, l5 shunted by'radio frequency bypass condensers Il, I8.'V One end of the output circuit is grounded and the other end is connected to an audio frevention and the theory of its operation will notl here be gone into. However, itis important lto understand that when the circuit is properly tuned to a signal to be receivedjthepotential across resistor I is equal inmagnitudeand-op.
