Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
A SIGNAL CIRCUIT COMPRISING: A SOURCE OF SAMPLING SIGNAL; A SAMPLER CONNECTED TO RECEIVE AN APPLIED SIGNAL AND SAMPLING SIGNAL FROM SAID SOURCE FOR PRODUCING A SAMPLE PULSE HAVING AN AMPLITUDE RELATED TO THE AMPLITUDE OF THE APPLIED SIGNAL AT THE OCCURENCE OF A SAMPLING SIGNAL; A SOURCE OF REFERENCE FREQUENCY; MEANS CONNECTED TO RECEIVE THE REFERENCE FREQUENCY AND THE SAMPLE PULSES FROM SAID SAMPLER FOR PRODUCING A FIRST CONTROL SIGNAL RELATED TO THE PHASE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE REFERENCE FREQUENCY AND A SELECTED SIGNAL COMPONENT OF VARIATION IN THE AMPLITUDE OF SAID SAMPLE PULSES; CIRCUIT MEANS RESPONSIVE TO A SELECTED SIGNAL COMPONENT OF THE VARIATIONS IN THE AMPLITUDE OF SAID SAMPLE PULSES FOR PRODUCING A SECOND CONTROL SIGNAL RELATED TO THE FREQUENCY OF THE SELECTED SIGNAL COMPONENT; AND MEANS FOR APPLYING THE COMBINATION OF SAID FIRST AND SECOND CONTROL SIGNALS TO SAID SOURCE OF SAMPLING SIGNALS FOR ALTERING THE REPETITION FREQUENCY THEREOF.
