摘要:
A stable tunable Q bandpass filter adapted to have its parameters dynamically varied over a wide range of bandwidths and center frequencies. The filter includes a capacitor and a network coupled in parallel across the capacitor. The network includes a plurality of operational amplifiers coupled to simulate an inductor without utilizing coils. A feature of the filter is that it can be readily made adaptive to track an input signal which may randomly vary in frequency. A further feature of the invention is to have one input of each operational amplifier coupled directly to ground to minimize stray capacitance. The performance characteristics of this filter are in part attained by the method of component layout and shielding techniques used, in addition to the method of circuit excitation.

Circuitry for filtering a distinct variable spectral component includes a band-rejection filter formed by a summing amplifier with a feedback loop and a bandpass-filter connected to one of its inputs. The summing amplifier is connected to form the difference between the unfiltered spectrum at one of its inputs and the spectrum component to be suppressed at another of its inputs. The summing amplifier delivers the filtered signal spectrum at its output. A control circuit locks the common center frequency of the bandpass and band-rejection filters to the frequency of the spectral component to be suppressed.

An active filter in combination with a sound reenforcement equalization system is provided. The filter permits variation of the notch frequency over a wide range of frequencies and adjustment of the notch depth from zero to any desired value independent of frequency control. Active filters may be cascaded without additional loss in the pass band.
摘要:
An electronic filter which simultaneously maintains a constant bandwidth and a constant center frequency gain as the input signal frequency varies, and remains self-tuning to that center frequency over a decade range. The filter utilizes a field effect transistor (FET) as a voltage variable resistance in the bandpass frequency determining circuit. The FET is responsive to a phase detector to achieve self-tuning.

A method of converting an AC voltage to a DC voltage corresponding substantially to the fundamental sinusoidal AC components by dropping said AC voltage through an input line across a series resistor and parallel capacitor, to an output line, comprising the step of opening up the input line at a predetermined time of the changing input sinusoidal voltage depending on its frequency and the values of the capacitor and resistor so as to obtain a DC voltage having a large percentage of the AC sinusoidal fundamental component while minimizing the effects of the harmonic and quadrature content.

Simple switches are used for shifting a signal band, fo, to a new location, fo+f1, without distortion. The band is split into two opposed phases, chopped with square waves of frequencies f1 and odd harmonies 3f1, 5f1, etc., which are weighted in amplitude by the factors 1, one-third, one-fifth, etc., and are finally added. Unwanted components 3f1, 5f1, etc., are found to be easily canceled, obviating a difficult filtering problem.

Oscillator apparatus is provided in accordance with the teachings of this invention wherein the total output power as well as the power consumed thereby is equally divided among a plurality of transistor means. The resulting transistorized oscillator apparatus is particularly well adapted for high frequency, high power applications because high frequency transistor means may be appropriately utilized therein without exceeding the rated collector dissipation of such transistor means. According to one embodiment of the present invention, oscillator apparatus is described wherein a plurality of transistors are individually coupled to high Q tuned circuit means through a plurality of impedance matching means interposed between the inputs to said high Q tuned circuit means and each of said plurality of transistor means. The output of the oscillator apparatus may then be made available to a load through load matching circuit means connected to said high Q tuned circuit means. The loaded Q of the high Q tuned circuit means is selected to be sufficiently above that exhibited by said impedance matching means and said load matching circuit means so that the frequency of said oscillator means determines the oscillation frequency of said oscillator apparatus and maintains the reactive portion of the overall impedance thereof at a constant value whereby said impedance matching means may be independently adjusted to match the impedance of its respective transistor means to the impedance of high Q tuned circuit means without adversely effecting any of the other transistor means present therein.

AN ELECTRIC SIGNAL INCLUDING HIGH AND LOW FREQUENCY COMPONENTS IS (A) FILTERED TO REMOVE THE HIGH FREQUENCIES WITHOUT DISTORTING THE LOW FREQUENCIES, AND (B) DELAYED TO SYNCHRONISE IT, WITHOUT DISTORTION, WITH THE FILTERED SIGNALS. THE FILTERED SIGNAL IS SUBTRACTED FROM THE DELAYED SIGNAL TO PROVIDE A SIGNAL COMPRISING THE UNDISTORED HIGH FREQUENCY COMPONENT.
