TRANSMISSION-LINE TRANSFORMER Filed Nov. 18, 1955 INVENTOR.
KE N NETH J. GERMESHAUSEN mwm ATTORNEYS United tates The present invention relates to polarity, impedance and voltage transformers and, more particularly, to transformers of the transmission-line type.
Transmission lines and similar devices have previously been utilized for the purpose of transforming the polarity of signals or transforming impedances or voltages from one level to another at opposite ends of the lines. Unfortunately, however, such devices are inherently narrowband devices. Since it has not heretofore been possible successfully to achieve broad banding with the aid of the transmission-line type of transformer, resort has been had to other and more complex types of transformers. In accordance with the present invention, on the other hand, transmission lines may now be utilized as transformer elements over wide frequency bands and, in particular, over broad high-frequency bands.
An object of the present invention, therefore, is to provide a new and improved transformer of the transmissionline type having a very Wide band-pass.
Other and further objects will be explained hereinafter and will be more particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
The invention will now be described in connection with the accompanying drawing FIG. 1 of which is a perspective view of a transmission-line transformer constructed in accordance with the present invention; and
FIG. 2 is a similar view of a modification.
In the system of FIG. 1, a transmission line comprising two conductors 1 and 3 is shown, for purposes of illustration, as of the preferred coaxial construction, the conductor 1 being the inner conductor and the conductor 3, the outer coaxi-ally disposed conductor. An insulating sleeve 2 separates the inner and outer conductors 1 and 3, and the outer conductor 3 is provided with an external insulating covering 4, as is well known. The transmission line 1, 3 is provided at one end with a pair of input terminals 5 and 7, and, at the other end, with a pair of corresponding output terminals 9 and 11. The input terminal 5 is connected to the upper end of inner conductor 1 and the input terminal 7 is connected to the outer conductor '3, being preferably grounded, as shown. The word ground as used in this specification and claims is intended to connote not only actual earthing, but also chassis or other reference potential. The output terminal 9, corresponding to the input terminal 5, is shown connected to the lower end of the inner conductor 1 and is preferably grounded, as illustrated. The output terminal 11, corresponding to the input terminal 7, is shown connected to the lower end :of the outer conductor 3 and is at floating potential. In accordance with the present invention, the transmission line 1, 3 is coiled transversely and continuously about the upper and lower legs of a preferably annular or ring like magnetic core 13, as of rectangular contour. The magnetic core 13 is constituted of -a ferrite or similar material. The outer conductor 3 is, of course, insulated from the core 13 by the outer covering 4.
When a signal, such as, for example, a voltage pulse having a wide range of frequency components, is applied to the input terminals 5 and 7, the signal will pass along the transmission line 1, 3 to the output terminals 9 and 11. Since the inner-conductor output terminal 9 is terminated in a ground connection, as before stated, and the outerconductor output terminal 11 is at floating potential, as
atet
distinguished from the floating inner-conductor input terminal 5 and the grounded outer-conductor input terminal 7, the signal would be reflected from the output terminal '11 back along the conductor 3 to the input terminal 7. Since the input terminal 7 is grounded, a short-circuit condition is presented that causes the signal to return along the conductor 3 back to the output terminal 11, arriving in opposite polarity to the polarity of the original signal at the output terminal 11. Cancellation of signal at the output terminal 11 would thus result. This is obviated by introducing a delay into the transit time of the signal from the output to the input and b ack to the output again. The capacitance-to-ground and the inductance presented by the line determines the amount of time delay. Additional inductance is introduced through the expedient of the coiling or winding of the transmission line I, 3 as previously explained, transversely about the magnetic core 13. The winding of the coaxial line 1, 3 upon the core 13 may therefore be considered as presenting a high-impedance long-delay path for the reflected signal from the output terminals 9, 1 1. If the applied signal is of a particular polarity (say positive) with respect to input terminal 7, the signal at the output terminals 9, 11 will be of the same polarity with respect to output terminal 11. However, since both input terminal 7 and output terminal 9 are at ground potential, it follows that output terminal .11 will be of opposite polarity (negative) with respect to ground or the output terminal 9. Thus polarity inversion is obtained.
From another point of view, the coiling of the conductor upon the iron core may be considered as increasing the inductance in the path of the shielded cable, since when the device is used as a pulse inverter the shield represents a direct-current short circuit across the input to the device. The impedance of this short-circuit at the higher frequencies must be raised if the device is to be operated properly. The impedance may be raised by increasing the inductance in the shorting path and this is done by the wrapping or coiling of the conductor around the iron core, as before explained.
The result of this construction is materially to increase the low-frequency response of the transmission line and hence the length of voltage pulses utilizable therewith, thereby providing wide or broad-band operation of the transmission line as a polarity inverter or transformer.
The capacitance-to-ground is reduced by maintaining the assembly away from close proximity to grounded surfaces such as shields, and the like, the resulting reduction in delay time being compensated for by the increased inductance provided by the coiling of the line. This construction also results in still a further advantage since it greatly increases the impedance of the conductor 3 to ground, thereby preventing excessive loading of the signal arriving at the terminal 11.
The polarity inverter or transformer of FIG. 1 is particularly adapted for operation with an unbalanced system. It is of particular utility as a polarity inverter for pulses, such as those utilized for the purpose of triggering thyratrons or other pulsed devices, or for transient signals that are to be oscillographically observed in the study of fast, wide-band transients and the like. The present invention, however, is equally applicable for providing unbalanced-to-balanced signal connections, as shown in FIG. 2. The output terminal 9 is there shown connected to ground through a terminating resistor 13. The output terminal 11 is similarly connected to ground through a similar resistor 13'. Between the further output terminals 15 and 17, connected, respectively, to the output terminals 9 and 11, a pair of balanced outputs with respect to ground is thus achieved, effecting a transformation from the unbalanced input terminals 5, 7 to the balanced output terminals 15, 17. This is useful for such purposes as providing a balanced signal for television or other receivers from an unbalanced coaxialline input, or where similar balanced and unbalanced conditions must be met. Wide-band high-frequency operation is again obtained by the expedient of coiling or winding the transmission line 1, 3 about the magnetic core 13. In the system of FIG. 2, the sides as well as the top and bottom legs of the core 13 are employed for the continuous coiling or Winding of the line 1, 3, as is a core of greater thickness than the substantially planar core of FIG. 1. This, of course, increases the value of the introduced inductance. The core 13 may be mounted upon an insulating block 6, as shown in FIG. 2.
In actual practice, the present invention requires a number of turns of the line 1, 3 about the magnetic core 13, usually in the neighborhood of ten or twenty turns, more or less. The 1ow-frequency cut-01f or the maximum duration of a transient signal that the transformer of the present invention will pass is determined primarily by the number of turns on the core 13 and by the magnetic properties of the core. The number of turns required to give the desired inductive impedance can be easily computed by the same well-known methods used in the design of pulse transformers. The high-frequency-limit of the device, however, is determined by the transmissionline attenuation characteristics and the length of transmission line used.
As an illustration, twenty turns of conventional coaxial line wound upon a transformer core having a cross-see tional area of about 3 to 4 square centimeters and a total core length of about 8 to 10 inches, have been found to operate as a transformer in the manner, above described, having a wide frequency band-pass of from approximately 500 kilocycles up to frequencies of the order of 1000 megacycles. This transformer has been found successfully to operate not only with transient signals having a maximum duration of about one microsecond, but, also, to pass faithfully substantially square relatively narrow pulses of 10 millimicroseconds duration, thus illustrating the broad-band wide-frequency characteristics of the invention.
The transmission line need not, of course, be of the coaxial-line type, though this is preferred in view of the ease of coiling and insulating the line from the magnetic core 13. Other types of transmission lines, including the open-wire type, may, of course, also be utilized, as may magnetic cores of different configurations.
Further modifications will occur to those skilled in the art and all such are considered to fall within the spirit and scope of the invention, as defined in the appended claims.
