Abstract

614,355. Detectors. WESTERN ELECTRIC CO., Inc. July 11, 1946, No. 20779. Convention date, July 27, 1945. [Class 40 (v)] The surface of the crystal element used in a rectifying circuit is highly polished and the contact wire is arranged to engage this surface along its length, forming a uniform linear rectifying circuit. The arrangement increases the current capacity of the contacts without impairing the performance at high frequencies, due to capacitative reactance. Figs. 1 and 2 show a rectifier unit comprising a shield 1, a resilient diaphragm 2, on which is mounted the rectifying element 4 which may consist of silicon or germanium, highly polished as described, for example, in Specifications 590,458, [Group III], and 602,140. A short length of tungsten wire 7 in the form of a ring is mounted on one end of pin 5 which is secured in shield 1 by insulating cylinder 6, such that wire 7 is held in contact with crystal 4. Fig. 7 describes a modification, in which the contact wire is in the form of a helix and is placed between the crystal and a metal spacer, the arrangement comprising four such .elements to provide a full wave rectifier. The elements are maintained in contact by two balls bearing between the upper and lower spacers. and a metal frame.
