Abstract: A valve drive with a snap function includes a rotary drive input, a lead screw connected to or formed by the rotary drive input, a slide in threaded engagement with the lead screw to form a screw thread, the slide being mechanically connected or connectable to a valve body and being movable in the direction of a longitudinal axis. A bearing housing is provided in which the lead screw is mounted so as to be rotatable about the longitudinal axis and stationary in the direction of the longitudinal axis. The bearing housing is held against a displacement along the longitudinal axis by a releasable locking device, countering the preload force of a snap spring.

Abstract: A low-noise sampling PLL for high-resolution radar systems wherein the reference frequencies are taken from a line spectrum (SPK), which has been generated from the mixture of a low quartz oscillator frequency (F1) with a high quartz oscillator frequency (F2), with the quartz oscillator frequencies (F1, F2) being synchronized. The invention is employed in connection with sampling PLLs for high-resolution radar systems with a controllable frequency oscillator, whose output signal is partially coupled out into a feedback branch and compared with reference frequencies in a phase comparator.

Abstract: A band-pass filter circuit has series elements, comprising a parallel resonant circuit and a first inductance, and shunt elements comprising a series resonant circuit and a second inductance, the resonant circuits comprising variable capacitances to permit variation of the frequency over a frequency band. The second inductance may be a transformer. The variable capacitances may be constituted by a plurality of switchable component capacitances, having switches connected between the capacitances and ground.

Abstract: A circuit arrangement for converting high frequencies to intermediate frequencies by mixing with a heterodyne frequency, wherein the high frequency signal input is connected to the signal output of the circuit arrangement via the primary winding of a polarity reversing transformer which is controlled such that the high frequency input signal appears at the signal output, alternatingly once directly and once with reversed polarity in the rhythm of the heterodyne frequency, and thus the high frequency signal is mixed with the heterodyne frequency. The polarity reversal is controlled by alternatingly opening and short-circuiting the secondary winding of the polarity reversing transformer in push-pull with the center tap of the primary winding by means of electronic switching circuits responsive to the heterodyne frequency.
