- In the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof, and within which are shown by way of illustration specific embodiments by which the invention may be practiced. It is to be understood that other embodiments and structural changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
- In one embodiment of the present invention, the incoming signal is fed to a modulated bilateral symmetrical current-source. A description of a current-source by Thevenin's Theorem is an ideal generator of current with infinite output impedance. This means that a specified output current will flow through a connected load irrespective of the impedance of that load as long as it is finite or zero. In practice, a current source can be represented as a source of voltage behind an extremely high resistance. The upper limit of the voltage is called the compliance voltage; and the range of approximately constant-current is a function of the ratio of the range of load impedance to the Thevenin generator resistance. A modulated bilateral current-source is one, which can either sink or source current to the load in response to an input voltage. Such a circuit or device is also known as a Transconducter and the ratio of output current to input voltage is known as the transconductance (G). Thus G=Iout/Vin, the unit of G (which stands for transconductance) in the S.I. system is Siemens.
- A symmetrical current-source is one in which the two terminals of the current port are identically electrically distant from the common reference, usually ground. There are numerous circuit topologies known to those skilled in the art for producing transconductance amplifiers. Any of several such circuits can be used to produce the high impedance source required by the invention. The receiver is another matter. A current-sourced signal may be accurately received in a summing amplifier at the node which is commonly known as the virtual ground. Such a circuit may be made symmetrical as well. The practical difficulty is that exposing virtual ground to the “outside world” causes stability problems is real circuit implementations. A far superior method is to regard the AC current coming from the source as a floating loop and galvanically sense the current in the loop. This is done by means of a device known as a current transformer. The advantages of this method are numerous. For example, the transformer galvanically isolates the source from the receiver. This eliminates the effects of common-mode differences in ground potentials between the equipments. Additionally, the input impedance of the receiver is essentially a short-circuit. This means that the signal voltage on the interconnecting cable is essentially zero. This eliminates the adverse influence of imperfect cable dielectrics because negligible voltage is impressed across said dielectric. Also, the symmetry of the transformer primary renders it immune to induced common mode or longitudinal currents on the interconnecting cable. Finally, the resistance of the cable has negligible influence on the results because the equivalent AC impedance of the current-source is extremely high in comparison to any possible cable resistance.
- A practical current source for the purpose at hand can be comprised of a differential-output voltage amplifier followed by a reasonable value of series output resistance. The amplifier must be able to drive the output resistance as its entire load, since the receiver will look like a short circuit. If this is done, the same output configuration can be used in the conventional way, i.e. bridged by the receiver, thus allowing compatibility with ordinary receivers in audio applications.
