This invention relates generally to wave transmission networks and more particularly to adjustable low-pass networks employing a plurality of fixed lter circuits.
l Heretofore, adjustable low-pass filters having a continuously variable cut-off frequency have included a plurality of individually adjustable reactive filter components. Adjustable reactive elements, suitable for low-pass networks, are costly and cumbersome. It also is costly and inconvenient to gang a large number of adjustable reactive elements for convenient unitary adjust-V ment of the cut-off frequency.
The instant invention contemplates broadly converting the currents of one frequency into currents of a higher frequency. The higher frequency currents are applied to a low-pass network employing only two fixed reactive filter networks in combination with two fixed modulators and two adjustable carrier frequency sources such as, for example, thermionic tube oscillators. The two fixed filter networks have frequency band pass characteristics at frequencies related to but appreciably higher than the desired low-pass cutoff frequency. The conversion to higher frequencies reduces the physical size and cost of the filter components.
The signal frequency currents which are to be attenuated are applied to a first carrier frequency from one of the oscillator circuits to provide two equal side bands. The two side bands and the rst carrier frequency are applied to the first filter network to attenuate only the upper side band to the desired low-pass band width. The unequally attenuated side bands and the first carrier are then applied to the second carrier frequency which is selected to be substantially higher than the first carrier frequency. The second fixed filter network has a pass band which attenuates the lower part of the upper band side band to a value substantially equal to the upper part of the upper band side band, thereby providinga high frequency carrier having two side bands each having widths equivalent to the desired low-pass hand. The high frequency modulated carrier is applied to a demodulator or envelope detector to derive the low-pass frequency band desired.
, Among the objects of the invention are to provide an improved method of and means for transmitting a predetermined low-pass frequency band. Another object of the invention is to provide an improved low-pass transmission network employing relatively high frequency band-pass filter netlator will include a works. An additional object of the invention is to provide an improved adjustable low-pass transmission network employing a plurality of fixed band-pass filter networks.
A further object of the invention is to provide an improved adjustable low-pass transmission network employing in combination a plurality of xed filter networks, a plurality of adjustable carrier frequency sources and means for modulating the signal frequencies with the carrier frequency sources to provide the desired low-pass frequency transmission band.
The invention will be further described by reference to the accompanying drawing of which Figure 1 is a schematic circuit block diagram of a preferred embodiment, Figure 2 is a family of graphs indicating the operation of the circuit of Figure 1, Figure 3 is a schematic circuit diagram of a typical fixed band-pass filter network forming one of the elements of the circuit of Figure 1 and Figure 4 is a graph illustrative of the frequency band-pass characteristics of filter networks of the type described in Figure 3. Similar reference characters are applied to similar elements throughout the drawing.
Referring to Figure l of the drawing, a source of signals occupying a frequency band from zero to a frequency f1 is applied to the input circuit of a first thermionic tube modulator 3. A source of carrier frequency currents such as, for example, a thermionic tube oscillator 5 also is connected to the input circuit of the first modulator 3 to provide modulated carrier currents in the output circuit of the modulator 3. if the frequency ,fcl of the first carrier frequency oscillator 5 is appreciably higher than the highest signal frequency f1, the currents derived from the first moducarrier and sidebands covering a frequency spectrum from (fcl-fD to (fcl-i-fl).
This frequency spectrum is applied to the input of a fixed band-pass filter network having a pass band (fc1-,1-A) to (icl-H2). It will be seen that the lower sideband (fel-f1) will not be attenuated by the band-pass filter l while the upper sideband (fel-H1) will be attenuated to a value (icl-H2) The currents derived from the first band-pass filter 'l are applied to the input circuit of a second thermionic tube modulator 9. The output of a second carrier frequency source such as, for example, a thermionic tube oscillator ll having a carrier frequency fc2, is also applied to the input of the second modulator Si. The modulated carrier derived from the second modulator 9 will include carrier and sidebands covering the spectra (fcZ-fcl) f2 to (fc2-fc1) +f1 and (fc2+fc1) -fl to (fc2-{-fc1)f-f2. These two sidebands and the second carrier frequency fc2 are applied to the input of a second bandpass lterl network having a pass band covering the spec; trum fc2+fc41-f2 to f2+f1+f2+nf It will be seen that the second band-pass filter will at` tenuate the lower portion of the upper sideband to a band width equivalent to f2, and will not affect the transmission of the upper portion of the upper sideband which already has a band width of f2. Therefore, the output of the second bandpass filter I3 will comprise'ff'requencies covering4 the spectrum (fc2-l-fc1) -f2 to (fc2-l-fc1) -l-f2 or, in other words, a carrier (jez-Hol) having equal upper and lower sidebands f2;
The output of the second band-pass filter I3. is applied to a demodulator I5 such as, for example, a diode thermionic. tubi-' ,eto,derive` currents covering; thefrequencygspectrum from zero to f2, which isthe, desired'lo'w frequency spectrum4 from z'er'o'to f2, which'is the diesiredlow frequency pass baud yIf`it isA desired to lc lerivea`v` pass band from zero to a.frequencyf3.;fwh'ee f3 f2: f1, it merely is necessary"to'increase'the frequency of the rst Crlier frquencv'fci to ,ayalue (fc1-l-f2*f3) and s1' ,n1'i`J.lta Iitliya5indifaledbyV the dash line 33 of Fig; 1, tofdecfraserthesecondcarrier frequency f'c2 toA`[fc2-'-2f(f2'-f3 l.

Likewise, the
coupling between'th'e resonant circuits I'I, 21 may" 75 be entirelyy inductive and the coupling capacitors 23, 25 omitted.
Figure 4 illustrates a typical response curve for a band-pass filter of the type described in Figure 3 wherein substantially uniform lattenuation is provided at all frequencies except those within a predetermined frequency band wherein extremely low attenuation; i. e., good-transmission is provided for the desired 'applied signal currents.
It should be understood that any other known types of band-pass lte'r networks may be substituted for the type described in Figure 3J and that phase distortion of the signal may be minimized to. any desired extent by applying Bodes theory tothe design of linear phase shift filters in each of the band-pass filter networks. The advantages ofthe low-pass network thus described areV particularly outstanding if an adjustable network providing low phase distortion of the signal is desired. Adjustable low-pass filters, having a variable cut=oit frequency, designed according tojBodes theory; would require'the gauging of numerous variable capacitorsand inductors;
