7 Claims. 1
The present invention relates to electrical circuits and more particularly to circuits for match-' ing the impedance of an electrical device when operated at varying frequencies. An application of this is to be found in the art of submarine signalling where crystal projectors having definite frequency characteristics are used to produce compressional wave vibrations in a water medium.
The system, according to the present invention, is also applicable to communicating systems where electrical oscillations varying in frequency are impressed upon some electrical apparatus or some communicating system. The invention however finds particular utility in the operation of submarine compressional wave producers for the supersonic range with the use of crystals, such as crystals of ammonium dihydrogen-phosphate, Rochelle salt or the like. Crystals of this type may be used as a resonant structure or in a semi-resonant structure with electrical circuits havin tuning elements with inductive reactance. Such tuning elements are commonly used to match the impedance of the compressional wave transmitters or transducers with the generator supply source. In some cases where the frequency is maintained constant, fixed values of inductances may be used to provide the necessary tuning and matching of the generator and transmitting circuits.
In cases however where it is desired to change frequencies over a given range as for instance in submarine signalling, where a projector may be used to send any frequency within a band range from 16 to 45 kc., it is desirable for best efficiency to match the impedance of the transmitting circuit with that of the generating circuit for whatever frequency which may be chosen.
Where both apparatuses, projector and generator, are readily available, manually operating devices may be used to make the necessary tun ing changes but even under such conditions independent adjustments may have to be made in the generating and transmitting circuits. Where the devices are widely separated such adjustments must be made either by remote control, or by long cable connections. In the present invention this difi'iculty has been overcome by providing an automatic adjustment by means of which the impedance in the transducer or projector circuit is modified as the frequency is changed until a balancing correction is made.
The adjustment is self-corrective in the present case and if external conditions at any time, as for instance temperature changes, pressure changes, or water conditions, bring about changes in electrical values in the projector or transducer, these will automatically cause a change in the tuning impedance to effect a matching at the frequency for which the generator impressing the power on the system happens to be adjusted. The invention will be more fully described in connection with the specification set forth below taken in connection with the drawing which shows a schematic electrical diagram of the invention,
In the drawing, i represents the generator which may be an electron tube electrical oscillation generator or a machine type electrical oscillation generator which may be adjusted to produce any frequency in the desired range. In the supersonic transmission under water this may be over a range from 2030 kc., for example, or any desired signaling range of frequency, for instance 16 to 45 kc. as set forth above.
The projector 2 may be made up of a number of ammonium dihydrogen-phosphate or Rochelle salt crystals used in a tuned o1 semi-tuned structure and radiating to a sound propagating medium through some well-known acoustic coupling means. The projector or'transducer 2, as it may be called, is of the capacity type in which the current leads the voltage across the device. To tune this in the series circuit an impedance element 3 is necessary. This provides two inductance coils 4 and 5 in series connection with each other and with the projector 2 across the secondary winding 21 of the transformer 6, the primary of which is connected across the output of the adjustable frequency generator. The two coils 4 and 5 and the projector 2 are thus in effect serially connected to the generator I. Coil 4 is joined at one end to one end of the transducer 2 at a common connection 25. The coils 6 and 5 are on legs of cores 1 and 8 respectively which form closed magnetic circuits with a third core 9 about which is wound a coil It for controlling the saturation condition of the cores. A change in the current flowing through the coil ID will change the saturation condition of the cores 1, 8 and 9 and thereby change the inductance of the coils 4 and 5 in the series circuit mentioned above. The control of the current in the coil I0 is effected through the balancing circuit I I which will be presently described.
A pair of transformers l2 and i3 couple the series circuit comprising the transducer 2 and coils 4 and 5 to the balancing circuit H in the following manner. The primary winding 2| of transformer 12 is connected in series with the coils 4 and of the tuning impedance element 3 and the common connection 25. The primary winding 23 of transformer 13 is connected in series with the transducer 2 and the common connection 25. The secondary winding 2'! of transformer 6 has one terminal thereof connected to the upper connection between coils 5 and 2| and the other terminal connected to the lower connection between transducer 2 and the primary coil 23.
The balancing circuit ll comprises a pair of push-pull connected diode rectifier circuits in which the secondary windings 22 and 24 of the transformers I2 and [3 are respectively coupled in series with the electrodes of diode l4, resistor IS, the electrodes of diode l5, resistor I1 and the common return 26. One terminal of the coil is connected by the lead 28 to the grounded cathode of diode l5 and the other terminal thereof is connected by the lead 29 to the cathode of the vacuum tube l9.
At resonance the voltage impressed across each transformer l2 and I3 has the same magnitude and as a result the voltage drops in the high resistances I6 and I! are equal and in opposite directions. These resistances l5 and H are very large in magnitude and provide a substantially open circuit across the transformers l2 and 13 respectively. The resistances l6 and I! are serially connected to the grid I8 of the vacuum tube [9 and provide a varying bias on the grid for controlling the anode-cathode current flowing through the tube. When the bias is zero a balance is obtained with the anode-cathode current through the coil l0. When the bias is reduced to a higher negative value the anodecathode current in the line 20, furnished by a battery B, is decreased and therefore the current through the coil 10 which bypasses the condenser 30. When the bias I8 is made positive the current through the tube 19 is increased and likewise the current through the coil l0.
Desired tuning is established for the zero bias position. The rise or fall of the bias about zero will establish the necessary correction by causing more or less current to flow through the coil III.
In this connection it is to be noted that the impedance of the projector 2 decreases with increase of frequency while the inductive impedance of the coils increases with increase in frequency. An increase of impedance in the coils 4 and 5 will bring a positive bias from the resistance IS on the tube H! which is used to increase the current in the coil H! to reduce the effective impedance of the coils 4 and 5 to reduce the bias to zero. The difference in voltage between resistances l6 and l! provides the bias on the tube 19, and the change in cathode anode current brings about the necessary correction to restore a balance in the tuning circuit.
