Claim 1
Independent Claim
140 words
AN IMPROVED AUTOMATIC FREQUENCY CONTROL LOOP IN SUPERHETERODYNE ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS INCLUDING A FIRST MIXER STAGE AND AN INTERMEDIATE FREQUENCY AMPLIFIER STAGE THEREIN OPERATING TO MAINTAIN THE FIRST MIXER STAGE OUTPUT INTERMEDIATE FREQUENCY CONSTANT, THE INVENTION WHICH COMPRISES: A SECOND MIXER STAGE COUPLED BETWEEN SAID FIRST MIXER STAGE AND SAID INTERMEDIATE FREQUENCY AMPLIFIER STAGE; AND A REFERENCE OSCILLATOR COUPLED TO SAID SECOND MIXER STAGE FOR MIXING THE CONSTANT INTERMEDIATE FREQUENCY OUTPUT OF SAID FIRST MIXER STAGE AND SAID REFERENCE OSCILLATOR OUTPUT TO PRODUCE A CONSTANT SECOND INTERMEDIATE FREQUENCY HIGHER THAN SAID INTERMEDIATE FREQUENCY OF SAID FIRST MIXER STAGE, SAID REFERENCE OSCILLATOR OUTPUT FREQUENCY BEING SUFFICIENTLY HIGH TO PROVIDE A LOW RATIO OF BANDWIDTH TO CENTER FREQUENCY OF SAID INTERMEDIATE FREQUENCY AMPLIFIER STAGE, AND THE CENTER FREQUENCY OF SAID INTERMEDIATE FREQUENCY AMPLIFIER STAGE IS EQUAL TO SAID SECOND INTERMEDIATE FREQUENCY.
