Title: Improvements in and connected with Apparatus for Wireless Telegraphy.
Inventor: FLEMING JOHN AMBROSE
Filed: 1907-05-17
Granted: 1908-03-05
Abstract: 11,582. Fleming, J. A. May 17. Telegraphs. - In a system of magnetic wave telegraphy, the transmitter comprises a closed loop containing capacity and inductance and connected to a source of persistent high-frequency oscillations, such as an arc. At the receiver, a similar loop is used in syntony with the loop at the transmitter. The loop of wire at the transmitter is usually horizontal, but may be vertical, and is formed of a number of parallel wires which are carried on insulators attached to masts, and are connected to earth. Oscillations of the required frequency may be set up in the loop by coupling it by means of an oscillation transformer with another syntonic circuit containing a condenser, inductance, and an arc or other equivalent means for exciting undamped oscillations. The receiving and transmitting loops are placed with their planes parallel. Each plate of the condenser in the receiving loop is connected to a terminal of an oscillation valve or detector of the kind described in Specification No. 24,850, A.D. 1904, and a telephone, galvanometer, or the like is connected in series with this valve. To transmit signals, the transmitter is syntonized with the receiver by cutting out an inductance which is normally in the circuit of the former, by interrupting the earth connexion, or by short-circuiting a part of the capacity.
