Abstract

751,980. Non-linear circuits. PHILCO CORPORATION. Feb. 10, 1954 [Feb. 11, 1953], No. 3915/54. Class 40 (6). In an amplitude detector circuit for producing an output signal which changes rapidly for relatively small changes in the amplitude of the input, a number of amplifier stages are connected in cascade and detectors are associated with two or more stages, the outputs from the detectors being combined in such a manner that one output tends to cancel another. An I.F. amplifier, Fig. 2, comprises five stages 40, 48, 54, 62 and 56 with grid and cathode resistorcapacitor circuits 46, 52, 58, 64 and 60 to give alternate grid and cathode detection when driven beyond the operating range of the associated valve. The outputs from these circuits are fed over decoupling resistors 70 to a delay line correctly terminated by resistors 72, 72, 74 and of a length equal to the transit time of the signals through the amplifier. As the input is increased from zero, Fig. 3, tube 56 saturates and operates as a grid detector to give the curve 28<SP>1</SP> which levels off when tube 62 saturates. Tube 62 then operates as a cathode detector to give curve 26<SP>11</SP> which, when added to curve 28<SP>1</SP> give the effective curve 26<SP>1</SP>. This is terminated by tube 54 saturating, the process continuing until tube 40 is saturated and operates as a grid detector. A pulse 80 applied to the I.F. amplifier results in a video pulse 90 whereas a larger pulse 81 may produce a smaller pulse 91. In a radar receiver where the modulation is important, the I.F. amplifier is able to handle a large range of input and give a small range of output of modulation voltage. If the graph has a curved portion 34 sharp cut-off limiters may be interposed between the amplifier stages. U.S.A. Specification 2,662,978 is referred to.
