6 Claims.
f This invention relates to radio transmission systems and pertains more particularly to :radio r i transmission `systems utilizing a plurality of antennae for the transmission of a single message.
i `It is`anlobject of my invention to provide animr `proved formu of radio transmission system accordi duingrtowhich a plurality of spaced transmitting ,1 `antennae are utilized whereby improved reception r flwithless fading is obtained; l Afurther object of my invention is to provide a transmission system utilizingtwo or more antennae spacedapart each being energized successively, whereby a signal is transmitted to a l distant point with a minimum of fading.
accordancewith my invention successive r Wpartsjof a message aretransmitted over different Q `pathsto a distant point.` This resultis obtained bylprov'iding two ormore antennae spaced apart ""aidistance which Vmay be relatively small, e. g., a 20,;few wavelengths, this spacing preferably being i inrfa lateral direction withrespect to a line be- ;tween the transmitting and the receiving station.` I ,'I'hese, p several transmitting antennae are connected,to` apparatus which is adapted to energize themsuccessively in a rapid manner, whereby ,i nl mssagewniennisdesmedro transmita conveyedin a series of verysmall elemental portions, i emitted successively by the several antennae utir lize rapidity `of the successive transmisr sions `bythe 'different transmitters and their associated antennae is preferably so great that each r transfhitteru is rendered operative and inopera- 1 i tive many` times persecond, for example, of the "orderyiof several hundred times per second. This means 'that in the transmission of telegraph messages",` to "which the invention` is particularly ap- ,lplieabla one dot of aycode signal would be transmitted by the successiveoperation of twol or more y i transmitters, these operations, for example, being 140i of the order `of hundreds per second for each transmitter. The successive energization of the antennae is preferably complete, from a maximum to zero.` Alternatively, however, the degree ofgjenergization `of theantennae `may be varied i 115gl successively'so that a pulsating wave never dropp ngto zerois transmittedjfrom each antenna."
i "In `carrying out the invention; while a plurality vofjantennae spaced apart are necessary, one or r several radio transmittingapparatus maybeasllgsociated l therewith, the only` requisite being that dietingV at atime. r Y

` n yoid. une` Ldeinmental effects er radingofthef (Cl. Z-17 antenna is located on a ship or on a plot of land which is too small for the erection of a large antenna system which would afford a diversity reception effect. Furthermore, it is possible to @5, transmit by means of a pair of antennae a message which can be received with greatly reduced fading effects at a plurality of stations at spaced points, this assuring that the added expense of antenna duplication will be reduced to a mini- 10 mum, since an expensive, elaborate antenna structure at each receiving point is not necessary.
The above mentioned and further objects and advantages of my invention and the manner of attaining them will be more `fully explained in 19,51 the ,following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
In the drawings Fig. 1 illustrates diagrammaticaily a radio transmitting system embodying my invention, wherein two modulators and a sin- 20 gie control frequency source are used. Fig. 2illustrates a modified form of my invention wherein two separate control frequencies are used, and Fig. 3 illustrates still another modification of my invention whereinthree transmitters and a com- 25 mon three phase control frequency source are utilized.
` Referring more particularly to the drawings, reference numerals l and 2 indicate, respectively,
two transmitting antennae which are spaced apart 30.
by distance D. A radio frequency oscillator is indicated by reference numeral 3, this oscillator passing energy to radio frequency amplifier 4, the
output of which is connected to modulators 5 and 6, 'which are 'associated with antennae I and 2, 3
respectively, the energyfrom the` modulators beingamplied by radio frequency amplifiers 1 and 8, if desired. Key or other modulating device 9 `is provided, by means of which the operation of the radio frequency amplier 4 may be interlo rupted by any known method.` For example, the key mayvapply a blocking potential to the grid of one or several of thetubesv thereof, whereby the flow of the radio frequency carrier current from the source 3 to the modulators 5 and 6 may be 45- interrupted to transmit a desired signal.
f Each of the modulators is under the control of acontrol frequency supplied by an audio frequencyyamplier, the latter being indicated by reference numerals lil and Il, respectively. The 50' A.mcdulators `are preferably of the vacuum tubetype and in this case the amplied current sup- `plied thereto, from the'audio amplifier Vis preferablyljlim'pressed i on the plate circuit thereof so that Lwhen the v amplified current rises, the modulator is rendered operative to pass carrier current, while when the audio current decreases, the modulator is rendered inoperative to pass the carrier current. The two modulators are supplied with current from the transformer I2 having its center point grounded at I3, the primary of this transformer being energized by the control frequency source I 4, the frequency of this last mentioned source may be, for example, of the order of several hundred cycles per second, although a higher or lower frequency may be used. For example if speech transmission is desired the control frequency should be higher than the highest audio frequency to be transmitted. If in this case the control frequency is not superaudible suitable filter means should be provided to prevent the control frequency from being audible with the received signal.
The control frequency current is therefore applied to the two amplifiers III and II in opposite phase and as a result the amplified currents are supplied to the modulators 5 and 6 in opposite phase, whereby one modulator is rendered operative while the other is rendered inoperative to transmit a signal. 'Ihe frequency of the control current is such that the periods of operativeness and inoperativeness of each modulator following each other in rapid succession at a rate, for example, of several hundred per second. When it is desired to transmit a signal the key 9 is depressed thereby rendering the amplifier 4 operative to pass an amplified current to the modulators 5 and the closing of the key, for example, removing a blocking potential from the grid of the amplifier or in any other well known way rendering the amplifier operative. The radio frequency carrier current from the source 3 is then amplified in the amplifier d and conducted to the modulators 5 and 6.
The passage of this current through the modulators will, however, be dependent upon the conductivity or operativeness thereof, which is determined by the control frequency from source I4. In the very short intervals of time during which each modulator is operative, the carrier current from amplifier 4 will pass to the corresponding antenna, e. g. through the amplifier I and then to the antenna I. At the same time that current is being passed to antenna. I, preferably no current passes to the antenna 2 and vice versa.y
Therefore, the antennae I and 2 radiate alternately a succession lof short impulses; a number of which, for example fifteen, are required to form a dot or other element of the transmitted,
signal.
These successive wave impulses then pass through the surrounding space to the receiving where the transmitting antennae are spaced longitudinally with respect to a line connecting a transmitting and receiving station, it will be found preferable to make the distance between them larger than when the horizontal spacing is used.
. I have found in practice that with the antenna 4 spaced as set forth and energized alternately,` a
signal of much higher average level for a given transmitter output will be obtained than when a conventional transmitting system is used.
Fig. 2 illustrates a modified form of my invention wherein the control frequency supplied to the modulator 5 is different from the control frequency supplied to the modulator 6, these tWo frequencies which may differ by the order of hundreds, for example, being energized independently of one another. The control frequencies may be 500 and 900 cycles per second although other frequencies showing a greater or lesser difference may be used. lWhile the arrangement of Fig. l, wherein the operation of the two modulators is positively interlocked, will generally be found preferable, the arrangement of Fig. 2 also shows advantages since for a large part of the transmission` period one modulator will be passing current to the transmitting antenna while the other modulator is not. Therefore, for a large proportion of the timev it will not be possible for two signals from the two transmitting antennae to arrive at the receiving antenna at the same time, at least at the same amplitude, thereby assuring that during that portion of the transmission period no fading at the receiving station, due to the reception of two different signals of opposed phase and substantially equal strength can occur.
Fig. 3 shows a still further modification of my invention wherein three transmitting antennae Y are utilized in conjunction with a three phase control frequency source. Here the transmitting antennae will be rendered operative successively to transmit elemental portions of the signals to be radiated. Where three antennae are used they may be spaced at right angles with respect toa line between the transmitting and receiving stations, or at any other desired angle, or the three antennae may be arranged in triangular or other non-linear relation.
In. carrying out the invention the several amplifiers are not essential since the radio frequency current may be keyed or otherwise modulated directly at the source 3 and the control frequency may be passed directly to the several modulators without being first amplified. While it is desirable to apply the control frequency to the plate of the modulator tubes, this control current may instead be applied to the grids of the modulator tubes to produce periodic blocking thereof. In operation it is preferable that the modulation be of the C type, whereby successive sharp waves will be transmitted. The key or modulating device 9 may be associated with the several modulators, e. g., 5 and 6 of Fig. l, instead of with the amplifier of the radio frequency carrier current and in this case the carrier current and the signaling current would both be applied directly to the modulator in the usual Way for either grid or plate modulation, while the control frequency would be applied either to the grid or plate of' the modulating tube to cause periodic blocking thereof.
In connection with the arrangement of Fig. 2, the two control frequencies may be generated independently if desired, while at the same time still maintaining a fixed kphase relationship be-` tween them, through the use of a common power line.' For example,-the several control frequencies may` be generated from the same 60 cycle power line` supply, by the use of frequency multipliers of any known type and in this case the two frequencies maybe the same, the desired phase opposition for the operation of the several inabove, will transmit over a distance of about 2800 miles with such greatly reduced fading that a transmitter power of onekilowatt will produce substantially the same signal strength at the receiving station, as when 20 kilowatts of power are supplied by one of the transmitters alone.
While I have described particular embodiments of my invention for the purposes of illustration,
it should be understood that various modifications and adaptations thereof occurring to one skilled in the art, may be made within the spirit of the invention, as set forth in the appended claims. i
