USE OF CHOKE COIL
AND TRANSFORMERS
Latter Provide the Most Prac-
ticaI Method Of Coupling
for the Amateur.

Figure XVIII shows the actual
circuit of a three-stage resistance
coupled amplifier. The output Of such
q circuit Is X times X times X the input
or assuming the amplification factor
Of each tube to be 10, the output would
be 1000 times the input. The resist
ance r is the coupling resistance
whose function It Is to transform the
plate current variation to potential
drops to be applied to the grid Of the
next tube.
The capacity O Is simply a means
Of allowing the potential variations
across the coupling resistance II to
be applied to the grid Of the next tube,
yet not allowing the "B" battery ap-
piled to the plate circuit of tube to
be applied to the grid of the next.
Because of using the condenser to,
what one might say, insulate the grid
from the "B" battery potential, 1t Is
necessary to use grid leak, to keep
the charge which collects on the grid
from becoming excessive and reducing
the plate current to zero.
One Of the chief disadvantages of
the resistance coupled ampllfier Is
that very high plate battery poten-

tials are necessary. The amplifica-
tion per tube Of resstance-coupled
ampllfier is not as high as 1t is for
some other methods bat 1t Is stable
and does not distort the input as
much as do some other methods used
which give greater amplificatlop per
tube.
Resistance-coupled amplifying may
be used to amplify either radio or
audio frequency
A method of Transforming the
change In plate current Of vacuum
tube to differences in potential is by
means Of a choke coil. A choke coll
consists of a number of turns of wire
wound up in multilayer coil and
may or may not have an iron core. A
coil of this kind offers high i'm
pedance to the flow of alternating cur
rent, but has relatively low direct
current resistance.
The choke coil on account of hav-
ing a low ohmic resistance, will have
a smaller method of coupling, so that
lower "B" battery potential can be
used on choke coil coupled amplifers
and the batteries can be Of smaller
capacity.
The choke coll not only has induct-
ance but certain amount Of distrib-
uted capacity. The distributed ca
pacity of the coil plus the capacity Of
the plate with respect to, the filament,
together with the inductance Of the
coil, give to the plate circuit GER
tain definite period. That is, the plate
circuit is an oscillating circuit whose
resonant frequency is determined by
the total capacity and inductance in
the circuit.
II the choke coil be made variable,
II will not only serve to transform the
plate current variation with maximum
plate potential variations, but It will
also serve to tune out unwanted fire.
quencies. When the plate circuit of
the amplifier is tuned, the resonant
frequency is ampli1ed X times. but all
other frequencies are amplifled to a
less degree.
Another ana Dy far the most
widely used method Of coupling sue
cessive tubes in cascade amplifier is
by means Of transformers. The trans
former method Of coupling amplifier
tubes may be considered a develop
ment and a refinement OF the simpler
choke coil method. Coupling tubes
by means Of properly designed trans
formers will give a greater amplifi-
catisn per tube than any Of the other
Methods.
Figure XXI shows the diagram of
three-stage transformer coupled
amplifer, where p and s are respec-
lively the primaries and secondaries
Of the coupling transformers. The
transformer as whole Is so designed
as to convert the plate current varia-
tions into maximum potential varia-
lions. The plate circuit Of each tube
which includes the primary winding
a Q coupling transferlner must BE-
The L'Anse sentinel., 1922-09-15

assigned for maximum power ampli-
fication, while at the same time the
ratio of the transformer must be such
as to deliver maximum potential to
the grid circuit Of the next tube.
The greatest advantages Of the
transformer method Of coupling audio
frequency amplifiers are the high de
gree Of amplification. the relative
simplicity Of operation, and the low
plate voltage required.
Chief among the disadvantages Of
the transformer coupled frequency
amplifier is noise. Also the trans
formers amplify different freQuencies
to different degrees. which means
that when this type of coupling is
used for radiophone reception, the
voice is distorted by the amplifying
transformers. However, from prac
tical standpoint, the average amateur
will have better results using trans
former coupled audlo frequency ampli-
fiers than from any other method that
can be used with the tubes and equip
ment now available. Vi.
