This invention relates to Wave signalling systems and more especially to systems of signalling by carrier frequency shift.
A principal object of the invention is to provide an improved method and organization of apparatus for producing frequency-shift carriers whose mean frequency is maintained at an accurately predetermined value.
Another principal object is to provide a carrier frequency-shift radio transmitter wherein a highly stable carrier frequency source such as a crystal-controlled master oscillator, is subjected to a plurality of successive frequency modulation stages in such a way that the mean frequency of the shifted output carrier frequencies is maintained equal to the frequency of said there is produced shifted carrier frequencies having. ahighly stabilized mean frequencyequal to that of said oscillator.
Another feature relates to a carrier frequencymeans to'modulate said main carrier by the frequency-shifted output of one local oscillator, and
means to frequency-shift the modulated main carrier by the frequency-shifted output of the other local oscillator. By means of suitable frequency selector circuits such as band-pass filters or the like, there are selected at the output of the system frequency-shifted carriers whose mean frequency remains equal to the frequency of [said crystal-controlled generator and is substantially independent of accidental changes in the said local oscillator circuits and associated equipment.
A further feature relates to an improved method ofshifting carrier oscillations derived from a crystal-controlled oscillator so that the output carrier has a fixed mean frequency equal to the crystal frequency, the said output mean frequency being shifted equally in opposite direcee .ri 'we e i to t r ta frequ n d corresponding. to telegraph mark and space nals or. the. like.

Otherfeaturesand advantages not specifically enumerated will be apparent after a considera, tion of the'following detailed the appended claims.
In the drawing which shows one preferred embodiment of the invention, there isrepresented 5 by the numeral In any highlystabilized high frequency oscillator, suchas a temperature-controlled crystal oscillator, which generates the; desired master radio frequency F3 The. output frequency of the system. is indicated Has-,1. (FiZAf), where Af is preferably in the audio.- frequency range, e. g., 400 C. P. S. This output,
can then be considered as two separate carriers,
one having a frequency (F.2A,f) representing; for example a telegraph space signal; and a free, if quency (F+2Af) representing for example a'telegraph mark signal For the purpose of shifting the output frequency between the above-noted limits representing space and mark, there is provided any well-known keying device II, which produces at thepath I 2 a D. C. voltage of for example a positive polarity'and predetermined magnitude when keyed by a space signal and r a D. C. voltage of negative polarity but the same;
magnitude when keyed by a mark signal. ;It
will be understood of course, that the reverse may be true, that is, the space signal maybe repre polarity. and the mark, signal may be represented by the positive polar ity. In any event, and in accordance withlthe 1, present invention, the output of the keyer His 7 sented. by the negative divided into two paths l2, l3, and one pathis designed to produce opposite with respect to that in the cated schematically by the waves, [5.
The signal from path 12 is fed to any suitable,- reactance tube I6, so that the input voltages ape pear in the output of the tube as equivalent xreactance variations. The magnitude of these re.-, actance variations will, in the well-known way, be a function of the amplitude of thetone sig----; nal applied over path l2. ,For a detailed description of a typical reactance tube that may be used,
reference is hereby made to application Serial No. 434,498, filed March 13, 1942; which'issued April 9, 1946, as Patent No. 2,398,054. Likewise,
e. ignal i a h 1 which s ine act phase Sig descriptions and polarity of voltages,., other path as indiexample-only the higher beat' frequencynamel is select'ed for passage byfthe' bangl -pass filter 23;
opposition to the tone signal in path I2, is applied to a similar reactance tube l1.
Associated 'with the output of tube I6 is a local oscillator l8, which may be a free run- 'ning oscillator that need not be controlled to '5 the same degree of accuracy as oscillator Ill, and
which can have its output frequency varied in; accordance'with the reactance variations produced by tube I6. The local oscillator I8 may normally generate a frequency 1, which by way r of example may be thirty k. c, .The oscillatory .control circuit of oscillator ill will include the plate reactance of tube l-B sovthat as the latter is varied by the signals from path 12,:a corre-v sponding change AI is produced in the output frequency of oscillator l8. For a detailed description of one preferred manner of yarying the frequency of oscillator l8, reference may be had to said application Serial No. 434,498. Conse-' quently, there is produced an output frequency from oscillator l8 whichvis (fa-AT) represent.-w ing a telegraph mark signal, and ti jienfl' repre= senting a telegraph space signal; Itlwill beun: derstood of course; that when a mark signal is, beingkeyed at device ll, thejoscillatorxla' may-= generate the frequency (fee-inf), consequently when a space signal vis"being keyed at device H, v oscillator L8 generates'the frequency (f+AJ);..
Ina'similar manner, the reactance'tube il "l con-1 trols thefrequency of waxffree'running 'oscillator 19 which is similar to oscillator: l8, and nor mally generates a frequency 4. Likewise, theoutput of oscillator i9 is variedin frequency'between (f-fiif) and (f+AJ). 'Ho'wever; because ofthe phase opposition of the signals in paths !2 and .I l3,the frequency of oscillatorfil -is changed inth'e j opposite 'direction from-the changein frequencyof oscillator I8: for the same telegraph signal L which is" keyed at device 1H. Inother words-,-if fora space signal at device i L the oscillator l8 produces'a frequenr'zyUfl-Af) ,then simultaneously the oscillatorl9 producesai frequen'cy (fAf)-. Likewise; when oscillator l8 is producingafrequenc'y-lffinfl corresponding to a mark signal' at device ll ,oscillator l9 is producing "a fre-,
The output of oscillator l B-is connected-in balancedfdlvided'relation to any vvell-known bal anc'ed modulator -26, such'for example as'described in Radio Engineering," by Terrnan, "ls t ;edi-" tiong 'pa ge fi5l 'published by McGraw-Hill-Booi; Ce npany,lnc.;, ew Yorkylqijl."Modulator 2e isalso'fed' withthe frequency-l? from'thecry'stal oscillator l9. These two frequencies are mixed in] the 'd evice Zil inthdtvell-knbwh manner so as to produce in the outputthe sum'and difference fre 1' quencies; Inthis type of nod'ulator, the .frequencyF is suppressedinthe output?

It will be observed therefore, that the mean frequency F of these two output carrier frequencies always remain equal to, the said frequenc F of the master oscillator 'lfl'; and this mean frequencyremains stable notwithstanding undesired variations' in temperature, humidity and similar iconditions affecting oscillators l3 and i9 and their asso- "By the expression free running as employed inthe claims, is meant'an oscillator which can be '7 set to generate normally a particular frequency a but which frequency can be varied by means of a signal; as distinguished from a fixed frequency oscillator such as a crystal controlled oscillator.
