Abstract

Abstract A circuit arrangement for the insertion of additional communication channels such as telephone channels and the like in the intermediate frequency junctions of the relaying stations, wherein the intermediate frequency signal, coming from the receiver of the station, is applied to a first frequency converter associated to a first conversion oscillator, said first converter being coupled through a band pass filer to a second frequency converter associated to a second conversion oscillator, wherein at least one of said conversion oscillators can be modulated by the signals of the channels to be added, and at least one of the two conversion oscillators is controlled by the error signal coming from a phase detector piloted by the signal coming from a first and a second frequency divider respectively connected to the input to, and the output from the system.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 203 words
In a circuital arrangement for the insertion of additional communication channels such as telephone channels and the like in the intermediate frequency junctions of repeater stations comprising a first mixer, an intermediate frequency amplifier connected to said first mixer, a first frequency conversion oscillator providing an oscillaTion angle modulated with the information of the communication channels to be inserted, said first frequency conversion oscillator being connected to said first mixer, a second mixer a band pass filter connected between the output of said first mixer and the input of said second mixer, a second frequency conversion oscillator connected to said second mixer, an output amplifier connected to the output of said second mixer, a first frequency divider whose input is connected to the output of said intermediate frequency amplifier, a second frequency divider connected to the output of said output amplifier, a phase detector, the output of said frequency dividers being connected to the inputs of said phase detector, the output of said phase detector being connected to a frequency control input of said second conversion oscillator, whereby said frequency dividers remove the angle modulation from the signals due to useful information to obtain a long term frequency stability of the output signal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 203 words

Claim 3
Dependent Claim 22 words
A circuital arrangement according to claim 1 in which both oscillators are modulated by the signal of the channels to be inserted.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 20 words
