Patent GB-639192-A (GB)
Title: Pulse translator systems
IPC: G01S1/02
Filed: 1946-09-13
Abstract: 639,192. Radio navigation. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd. Sept. 13, 1946, No. 27562. Convention date, Sept. 21, 1945. [Classes 40 (vi) and 40 (vii)] In a system wherein two interlocking trains of pulses form a train of pulse-pairs, each pulse of a pair belonging to a different train, means are provided for producing a response when two pulses of a pair are of equal amplitudes. Positive pulse trains are applied via a condenser-resistor network to the grid of valve 2 which is biassed negatively, as shown, so that it is normally cut-off owing to the flow of grid-current, whereby the maximum level of the greater pulse of each pair is normally fixed at zero potential, the maximum level of the lesser pulse of each pair is too small to cause anode current to flow except when the two pulses of a pair are of approximately equal amplitude. Thus the signal applied to pulse selector 3 comprises a single pulse except when the input pulses are of the same amplitude, when a pair of pulses to which the selector 3 is arranged to be responsive is obtained. The invention may be used in a receiver for use with a equi-signal overlapping-beam beacon system, wherein the two trains of pulses are transmitted upon respective ones of the overlapping beams. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 describes a beacon system which comprises an additional indicator, which may be a cathode-ray tube, for indicating the direction of any deviation of a craft employing the invention from the beacon course line. A radio-location-system is also described wherein the transmitter radiates alternate pulses on different directive lobes which are continuously rotated. When the equi-signal line between the lobes is pointed towards a system employing the invention, the output of the pulse selector triggers a responder which reradiates a signal to the transmitter. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
