Abstract
A self regulating telephone apparatus wherein an individual's speech is converted to a representative electrical signal. This signal is represented by a product wave or waves of the form f(A)t x f(B)t where f(A)t represents the amplitude of the informational signal f(B)t. The signal is separated by demodulation of the cross product into its components. The relative amplitudes of the terms are changed as desired and the cross product re-established by remodulation. Since the term f(A)t represents the amplitude and its frequency range is removed from f(B)t, amplification can be provided at frequencies exhibiting low coupling between the receiver and transmitter transducer in a hand telephone set to permit increasing the signal volume output as required.
Claims5
A self regulating telephone set for a telephone system having a local plant and long distance trunk circuits comprising a transmitting transducer receiving voice signals represented by product waves of the form f(A)t .times. f(B)t where f(A)t represents the amplitude of informational signal f(B)t and a high frequency wave f(B)t, said voice signals being converted to representative electrical signals, a first demodulator receiving said representative signals, said first demodulator providing output signals permitting separation thereafter of the signal representative of f(B)t and the signal representative of f(A)t, a high frequency branch including a first high pass filter, a first amplifier of preselected gain to nullify losses, and a second high pass filter in a series arrangement in the recited sequence, said high frequency branch passing exclusively the signal representative of f(B)t, a low frequency branch including a first low pass filter, a center clipper, a second amplifier, a limiter, and a second low pass filter in a series arrangement in the recited sequence, said low frequency branch passing only the signal representative of f(A)t, said second amplifier having a preselected gain to nullify incidental losses, a modulator simultaneously receiving the output signals at predetermined magnitudes from said high and low pass branches to provide a constant output transmission signal therefrom to obtain a preselected volume for said local plant and long distance trunk circuits.
