BY WILLIAM J. ScHNELL

After months of experimental work
we have found that what has been rec
ognized as the standard type of vario-
coupler is lacking in the one element
most essential to its SUGGESTIVE
transfer of energy from the .antenna
circuit to the input of the radio re-
ceiving set with minimum of loss. An
entirely new design, embodied In
fixed coupler, known as selecto-
former, has now been devised which
overcomes this serious deficiency in
the old variocoupler. Other defects
which have a serious bearing on re-
ceiver efficiency are also eliminated
by the selectoformer.
CoupIers.
Couplers generally are designed so
that the primary unit is of such an
electrical constant that together with
the antenna constant, with which 1t
is employed, the desired frequency
band is covered. The primary urit is
usually tapped so variation in the
value of the primary circuit can be
had to permit of obtaining resonance
for any particular incident frequency.
Theoretically it was considered that
such coupling resulted in the maxi
mum Of received energy in the antenna
system. The secondary circuit was
likewise tuned for the same purpose.

Used as Wave Trap in Ground Wire.

1t was also generally believed that a
maximum of energy could be trans
ferred between these two circuits with
a minimum of loss under the condi-,
lions.
Fundamentally, this should be con-
sidered as the basis of the laws of
transformer action. These conditions
do exist at audio frequencies, but it
Is quite different when this trans
former action is observed at radio fire.
quencies. This applies particularly to
the coupling of the antenna to the
input circuit of radio frequency am
plifiers. When used in this manner,
it is not desirable that the coupling
be close, nor that the antenna be adj
justed to resonance. Far better re-
suits will be obtained if both these
fundamentals. are actually reversed,
/. e., loose coupling and no attempt
made to secure resonance in the an
tenna system. There are good reasons
for this somewhat radical departure
from generally accepted principles.
Keep Resistance Low.
All resistance should be kept at the
lowest possible value in the input cir

ductor resistance, resistance due to

resistance due to dielectric absorption,
ETC., are readily handled so that their
reduction is not so difficult. But when
this input circuit is coupled to the an
tenna system we find an additional re
sistance, namely, one of energy alb
sorption. When two circuits are con-
nected so that one is transferring en-
ergy to the other, the primary circuit
tends to reabsorb energy from the sec
ondary. This amounts to a reduction
of energy received in the second cir
cult and the net result is an apparent
increase in the secondary resistance.
Further, we find that more nearly the
primary circuit approaches resonance
with the secondary circuit the greater
the retransfer of energy, hence the
greater resistance from this effect
This effect is more pronounced the

ess of the tuning. Although there
ire receivers built that are selective
enough to eliminate this troublesome
Interference, the simplest and most eff
,ective means of elimination is to stop
:hese interfering signals before they
each the receiver. In order to do
his, we cause all signals to first pass
through a simple resonant circuit
known as wave trap; by tuning this
circuit to the frequency of the inter-
fering signal, the troublesome energy
Is absorbed before it reaches the re
,eiving set, whereas all other signals
will come through without losing their
energy.
In construction, the wave trap is a
very simple device, consisting of a
coil and condenser The condenser
should be of the variable type of %
plates and preferably should have a
vernier attachment for fine ADJUST
nents. If a larger condenser is avail
able, such as the common 43-plate size
1t may be used but will be harder to
adjust properly.
For making the coil procure round
tube of some insulating material such
as bakelite, formica or even ordinary
cardboard Ga round oatmeal box will
serve nicely); this tube should be
about 3 inches long and from to .
inches in diameter. If q 3-inch tube
Is used, wind about 40 turns of mum.
Der "a or number % insulated wire
on 1t, or If a 4-inch tube is used, wind
on only 80 turns; in other words, the
larger tube requires less number OF
turns and the smaller tube requires
greater number of turns.
The next step is to connect one ter.
minal of the coil to one terminal OF
the condenser and also to the antenna
The second terminal of the coil is con-
nected to the second terminal of the
condenser and also to the antenna
binding post of the receiving set. Your
wave trap is now completed and ready
for operation.
Possibly you are skeptical regarding
the ability of this simple device tc
eliminate the powerful signals of the
nearby stations, but just try it. AS you
turn your set on, you will hear the
nearby station as usual, but start turn.
ing the condenser of the wave trap and
soon you will come to point where
the signals begin to grow fainter. Con.
tinuing carefully from here you will
finally reach point where the signal
cannot be heard. Leaving the wave
trap condenser at this setting and tun.
ing your receiver as usual for dis.
tant stations, you will not be bothered
by the local station until the position
of the wave trap condenser is again
changed.-Radio Digest.
