Abstract: HF signal transmission device comprising a HF transmission path and an LF supply current transmission path connected between common input and output terminals. The LF transmission path is provided with a blocking inductance for the HF signals which, to avoid hum modulation, comprises a series of at least two coil pairs wound on an open magnetizable core, the coils in each pair being wound in opposite sense, and the LF supply current being tapped from the junction point between the two pairs.

Abstract: A transmission line pulse transformer in which the characteristic impedance of a coiled transmission line is changed from a first value to a second (smaller) value at a first point intermediate its ends and back to the first value at a second point. The location of the points and the relationship between the two impedance values are so chosen that, to a first order approximation, reflected waves from the points cancel coupled waves between adjacent turns, thereby reducing distortion caused by the coupled waves.

Abstract: A triple 3db, 90.degree. coupler four-way power divider provides four balanced power outputs by combining therewith a fourth coupler, each of whose two inputs is connected to a different one of the two unbalanced outputs of the divider, with the two outputs of the fourth coupler and the two balanced outputs of the divider providing the four-way divided output power.

Abstract: A telephone transmission bridge including a transformer having primary and secondary windings, connected between first and second input leads and first and second output leads, respectively, has a varistor connected in series with a relatively small number of tertiary windings wound around the transformer core. The tertiary windings and varistor present a high AC impedance to signals transmitted via the input and output leads, thereby permitting AC signals to be transmitted freely via the primary and secondary windings. When transient DC signals are impressed on the input and output leads the tertiary windings and varistor exhibit a low DC impedance, the varistor conducts effectively short circuiting the primary or secondary windings to which the transient signals are transmitted and the transient signals are prevented from being transmitted through the transmission bridge.

Abstract: A coupler capable of correctly coupling a microwave source into a resonant avity in a cryogenic environment. The coupler utilizes a rotary mechanical means to adjust the energy through the waveguide-beyond-cutoff into the cavity and control the reflections thereby.

Abstract: An extra high frequency (EHF or millimeter wave length) translating device for detecting, multiplying frequency or mixing waves includes an extra high frequency cut off input transmission line mechanically joined by a housing in which there is a cavity loaded with a removable insert. The insert contains a wave coupling element such as a diode mixer, multiplier, detector, etc. and is so mounted in the insert that it couples with the electric field of waves in the input line and is electrically connected with the relatively lower cut off frequency line output line. The insert also contains a choke so disposed that the extra high frequency waves conducted by the input line do not couple to the output line and so the output taken from the relatively low frequency cut off output line is substantially free of extra high frequency signals.

Abstract: A circuit for reducing or eliminating the effect of the stray capacitance of the windings of a transformer on signals coupled through that transformer. Circuitry is provided for generating voltages and currents which simulate the presence of a negative capacitance and for coupling those voltages and currents to a transformer in cancelling relationships to the stray capacitance thereof. Circuitry is also provided for imposing an upper frequency limit beyond which capacitance cancellation will not occur. The upper frequency limit stabilizes the circuitry and allows signal transmission to be limited to a predetermined desired band of frequencies.
