  • Patent number: 4660003
    Abstract: The device for limiting the transmission power of radiowave transmitters comprises a limiting stage for attenuating the signal to be amplified before applying it to the input of the amplifying chain. A coupler collects part of the signal in order to apply it to the input of control means. A delay device is coupled between the coupler and the limiting stage and delays the signal to be amplifed before applying it to the input of the limiting stage. The control means block the limiting stage in order to prevent transmission of the signal to be amplified to the input of the amplifying chain when the level of the signal to be amplified overshoots a predetermined amplitude and hold the limiting stage in the blocked state after the level of the signal to be amplified has fallen back below the predetermined threshold during a sufficient period of time which is calculated so as to prevent any power overshoot.

  • Patent number: 4610030
    Abstract: The invention concerns a frequency modulation broadcasting transmitter in which the output oscillator at the transmission frequency is modulated not directly by the audiofrequency signal but through the intermediary of a phase locking loop comprising a phase comparator supplied, on the one hand, by the output signal filtered from a picture or image frequency rejection mixer. This mixer receives, on the one hand, a modulated intermediary frequency signal from a modulator and, on the other hand, the output signal of the oscillator at the transmitting frequency F.sub.S, the reference frequency F.sub.o1 being determined as a function of the central transmitting frequency and of the intermediary frequency F.sub.o1 =F.sub.S -F.sub.1.
