,-output or when receiving strong signals which overload the receiver, the end recov- }
ery time must be taken into account.
It is of interest to define the probability p(t)dt of receiving a signal in the-
-time interval from t to t + dt, considering as given the probability n(t)dt of the
-arrival of the signal at the receiver input during the time interval from t to t + dt.
.0
Below, the arrival of a signal at the receiver input, during the time interval adja-
cent to t + dt, will be considered an independent event. This corresponds to an ap-
proximation when "the infinitely small" interval dt is denoted as the time interval
of the pulse duration series, and n(t)dt as the probability of the appearance of a
signal for an interval of time approaching the point t.
Equation for the Degree of Probability of Signal Reception
We will now consider the equation for the degree of probability p(t) of signal
reception in the receiver with end recovery time T. The probability of signal re-
ception in the interval t - t + dt is equal to the probability of signal reception
at the receiver input in the interval n(t)dt, multiplied by the probability that the.

receiver is in recovery condition. It is obvious that the receiver will be closed
if the signal is received at any of the instants of time 9, lying in the interval
t - T < E < t. The probability that the signal is received for the time t - T to t
t
is equal to f p(E)dg. Therefore the probability that the receiver is in recovery
t t 0 condition at the instant t is equal to 1 - f p(F,)dp-. It is obvious that the
t -T t
probability p(t)dt may be represented as the product n(t)dt [1 - f p(g)dE].

If the signal received is transmitted periodically at-fixed period T and inter-,
f then the degree of probability of signal appearance at the receiver output
n(t) has the constant value it for all instants of time when the signal is not being
transmitted and is rejected during the instants of time t = kT when the signal is
being transmitted. These rejects correspond to the fact that, at these instants,
the probability of signal appearance at the receiver input increases- sharply.

where q is the probability of the appearance of a transmitted signal at the receiver

probability of signal reception at the instant of time t, if a periodic pulse signal
is transmitted and the receiver is affected by a fixed interference, reduces to the
derivation of eq.(1) when n(t) is given by eq.(2). If reception begins long before
the instant of time under consideration, the solution of eq.(l) is hardly distin-
guishable from the fixed derivation, i.e., from'the periodic solution of eq.(l),
with n(t) as given by - cc < t < + w. In the following, only the periodic solution
of the equation will be considered.

The solution of the equation under ordinary circumstances is far from simple.
In this connection, the case below which the intensity of interference is low will

be considered. Interference may be considered low if n't ? 1, i.e., if the probabil-{
ity of a false signal arriving at the time T is much less than unity. It is natural
to limit the calculation to the case where the recovery time of the receiver T is
less than the period of signal transmission T. since otherwise, even without inter-
ference, not all of the transmitted signals could be picked up by the receiver.
We will represent the degree of probability n(t) as n(t) = it + no, where no =

in practically no change in the number of correctly received signals, but leads to a
quadruple reduction in the number of spurious signals.

GENERALIZED ANALYSIS OF AMPLIFIER -STAGES
by
A.A.Rizkin
Generalized systems and generalized matrixes for various
types of tube and semiconductor stages are presented. The ap-
plication of the theory to the analysis of equivalent' systems of
semiconductor stages at high frequencies is demonstrated.
Generalized Systems and Generalized Matrixes
The analysis of amplifier stages (tubes or semiconductors) in a linear hookup
is ordi'arily made by constructing an equivalent corresponding system in the form of
a linearly operating quadripole, containing dependent sources of current or voltage.
For the analysis of complex multistage systems, the matrix method is especially dell;
suited.
In addition to this, it is desirable to obtain a separate stage which will be
adaptable to stages of various types. For example, in the case of stages in elec-
tron tubes, it is desirable to have a generalized matrix, uniformly suited to stages;
with a common cathode, grid, or anode; and in the case of stages in semiconductor
triodes, to stages with a common emitter, base, or collector.
This can be easily attained if the generalized equivalent systems of amplifier
stages with double dependent sources are introduced into the types-presented_by the
author (Bibl.l). One of the possible variants of the generalized equivalent circuit
of the tube stage is given in Fig.l, and the semiconductor stage in Fig.2. The
transition from the generalized stage systems to the concrete types has been carried
out in conformity with the data of Tables 1 and 2.
The generalized equivalent systems permit the corresponding generalized matrixes

in Fig.l directly determines the matrix [y] of this system, whereas the system of

crete'stages it is sufficient to substitute, for
the corresponding generalized matrix, the values
conforming to Tables 1 ?and, 2.
According to the known matrixes of the individual stages, the matrixes of the
complex systems are determined. These permit obtaining all values which character-

DETERMINATION OF THE BASIC PARAMETERS OF MULTICHANNEL RADIO RELAY
SYSTEM APPARATUS
by
S.V.Borodich
The method for determining the optimum values for the basic
parameters of multichannel radio relay systems with frequency di-
vision multiplex and frequency modulation is discussed. The op=
timum quantitative correlations are established between the indi-
vidual noise components in the telephone channel.
.. _Introduction
In designing multichannel radio-relay systems, the designer must primarily de-
termine its basic parameters, based on the fact that the equipment must supply the
? required quality of the coupling, and that its practical execution has to be con-
nected with minimum technical difficulties. In other words, the designer must do-
termine the optimum values of the basic parameters of the equipment, including:
power of the transmitter; antenna amplification factor; receiver noise factor; fre-
quency swing of the transmitter within the channel; maximum amplification of the
tandem office; parameters, determining the nonlinearity of the line route (linearity
of the modulator, demodulator, and the phase characteristic of the channel). Several
of these parameters may be selected on the basis of existing technical possibilities;
however, in order to make a proper choice, the designer must know how any change in'
one parameter will affect the others.
The present article is an attempt to establish the method of determining opti-
mum values of the basic parameters of the equipment. In summary, this article. has
0 been included as a supplement,to the new recommendation to the MKKR [International

-Consultant Committee for Radio (Bibl.l)], to determine the allarrable noise intensity
at the end of a hypothetical standard circuit for the radio-relay cocmmnications
systems. The recommendation was accepted by the Eighth Plenary Meeting of the MM
in September 1956.
Initial Data for the Solution of the Problem
The basic quality factor of communication in a telephone channel is its noise
level. All values higher than the parameter of the equipment immediately influence
the quantity of noise in the channel, whereas the remaining characteristics of the
telephone channel, such as stability of overall circuit attenuation, frequency and
amplitude characteristics, transit time of the signal, proofing against audible
crosstalk, channel stability, and so on, do not depend on these parameters. The
noise volume in the channel depends also on the length of line, its construction,
and the conditions of radio-wave propagation. Consequently, the allowable noise
volume serves as a guide for the designers at the end of a hypothetical standard
circuit, which possesses a determined length and structure.
New recommendations by the MKKR, adopted at the Eighth Plenary Meeting, define
two hypothetical standard circuits for radio-relay systems and give the permissible
noise level at the ends of these circuits (Bibl.2).
The first hypothetical standard circuit is designated for radio-relay systems
with a capacity of 12 - 60 telephone channels. It has a length of 2500 km and con-
tains three pairs of individual, six pairs of group, and six pairs of supergroup con-
verters, as well as six pairs of radio modulators and demodulators, respectively.
This circuit is divided into six sections of equal length, contained between the
stations with signal demodulation.
The second hypothetical standard circuit, designated for radio-relay systems,
with a capacity of more than 60 channels, has the same length and number of indi-
vidual and group converters, but contains nine pairs of supergroup converters and

-;nine pairs of radio modulators and demodulators. It is divided into nine sections
01
-Iof equal length, contained between the stations with.signal demodulation_and-modU1&
_'tion.
The common psophometric noise power at the relative zero level in any telephone
-:channel, at the and of both the first and the second hypothetical standard circuits,
.is determined by the following time values (Bibl.l):
a) Average power per hour of greatest usage; in the absence of fading, this
may not exceed 5000 ??w;
b) Average power at any hour, not to exceed 7500 ??w.
These values make no allowance for the noise of the multiplexing equipment
?
46
whose poker, in conformity with the NKKF recommendation, does not exceed 2500 ??x.
It should be mentioned that this recommendation, strictly speaking, is not ado-!'
quate. At the time of strong signal-fading in the course of short time intervals,
the noise volume may grow so much that the connection is broken despite the fact
that the average noise volume per hour does not rise above the permissible values.
The recommendation, therefore, indicates that it is essential to determine.,the man-
ner in which the allowable noise level should be assigned in the course of short
time intervals; however, at present, it is impossible to give a precise answer to
this question.
The above-mentioned recommendations by the MKKR which define the hypothetical
standard circuit and the allowable noise volume, may be used as initial data for de-i
termining the equipment parameters.
OptimumRatios of Noise Components in Telephone Channels

rli,r2i are the reflectance at the ends of the ith feeder.
Equation (9) is valid,.provided that
"NAf k ebmt T fl G 0,5.
Otherwise the calculation of the nonlinear products, originating in the feeders,
in eq.(3) would become extraordinarily complicated.
It is apparent from egs.(2), (5), (7), and (8) that the values x, Ao, B1, Cl
are determined by the basic parameters of the equipment, whereas the value Al - A
= AoSl lu, depends also on the radio-wave propagation conditions. Therefore, the
problem which we presented at the beginning of this article may be defined as fol-
lows: It is required to determine the values Ao, B1, C1, and x from the condition
that the noise volume in the channel at the end of the hypothetical standard circuit
is equal to the allowed value Pna = 7500 ?w?
? For one section of the hypothetical standard circuit, this condition corresponds
to the equation
where is the number of sections in the hypothetical circuit (v = 6 at N = 12 _v 60
and 'v = 9 at N > 60).
It is obvious that eq.(11) alone is not adequate for determining the four un-
knowns Ao, B12 C1, and x. We will, therefore, present a second condition, guaran-
teeing a minimum of technical difficulty in the practical construction of the equip- STAT

ment. For this, we assume that the value x, determined by the frequency variation,
is the optimum value and that the noise volume will thus be minimal. Differentiating
eq.(11) by x and adjusting the result to zero, we obtain the second equation

Apparently, in the real system, the power of nonlinear noise of the second or-
der, as well as the power of nonlinear noise of the third order, cannot be equal to
zero and still be less than zero. Bearing this in mind, we obtain from eq.(13a) the
third condition

Determination of the Basic Parameters of the Equipment
We note that, of the four values Ao, B1, C1, x, determining the basic parameters
of the equipment, only one value, namely x, can be considered known, since the fre-
quency deviation of the channel has been fixed by the specifications established at
the Eighth Plenary Meeting of the MKKR in September 1956. To insure international
contact of the radio-relay lines, the MR recommends the following effective fre-
quency va or_ values of the channel 0 fk, for systems with 24 to 600 channels

Therefore the three equations (16), (17), and (18) obtained above are entirely
adequate for determining the three unknowns A0, B1, and Cl*

In these expressions, the value a is not accurately determined; it is known
only that it must satisfy the inequation (15). In selecting the value 9, the de-
signer has an opportunity of changing the numerical ratio of the noise components,.
i.e., to increase one of the parameters (B1 or Cl) at the expense of the other, if
it is expected that nonlinearity of the second or third order will be predominant.
As can be seen from eq.(19), the parameter Ao also depends on the nonlinearity
of the value S1 h,, expressing the conditions of the crossing signal for all ml
parts of one section of a hypothetical standard circuit. It is known that-the at-
tenuation factor V1, in every part of the system, is an accidental value. Thus,
- the sum

is also a determinant of the volume of thermal noise and likewise is an accidental
value. In order to find the probability distribution for S1, it is necessary to
know not only the laws of distribution probability for all Vi, but also the ratio
of these accidental values, since they are not independent. This is obviously a
very complicated task.
However, the allowable noise volume is given as an average per hour. Conse-
quently, as already mentioned, we must consider the mean value of the sum S1 hr per
hour, which is also an accidental value.

(17), and (18) between the noise components and the basic parameters of the equip-
ment (19), (20), (21), whose calculation is based on these correlations, refer to
the hour of greatest load, when the nonlinear noise level is at its highest. There-
fore, the value Sl hr' essential for the computation, must be specified for the day-
-light hours, when, as experience shows, the signal fading is usually not great. At
night and in- the- early morn i-ng when the fading is usually *greater, the line load is
small, nonlinear noise is almost absent and the rise in thermal noise above the op-
timum value is completely permissible.
The supplements to the recommendation by the MKKR contains examples for typical
probability distribution curves of thermal noise in the sections of the system, and
also examples of the reckoning from which it follows that, even under adverse condi-
tions, the value is 1 V2 = 2 - 3 (3 - 5) db, on the average, in each part of

These considerations are also contained in the same recommendation so that a
comparison of two suggested values will give the permissible noise volume: for an

AN INVESTIGATION OF THE SELF-OSCILLATING SYSTEM IN AN OSCILLATOR WITH
A' SEMICONDUCTOR JUNCTION-TYPE TRIODE
by
S.M.Gerasimov -
Phase relations are examined in the semiconductor junction-*
type triode, and a conclusion is drawn as to phase balance in the
self-oscillator. It is shown that phase balance failure may pre-
vent the generation of self-oscillation at higher frequencies.
Systems are proposed with phase correction, pamitti-.g a subst II-:--
tial boost in the critical frequency. An analysis is given of!
oscillation characteristics and recommendations are advanced, re-
lating to the selection of the optimum system of self oscillation.
An Investigation of Phase Relations
In self-oscillators, not only the energy indexes have a decisive significance
but also the phase relationships. In the investigation of oscillators with indepen-
dent excitation and semiconductor junction-type triodes, the phase relations were not
considered (Bibl.l).
In the steadily working system of the self-oscillator both phase and amplitude
balance are attained. It is known from the theory of self-oscillation that the con-
dition for phase balance is
'f., ' w,. -1 Pa = 2-I1,

where T. is the phase shift in the triode (the phase angle of average transconduc-
tance);
'Pk is the phase shift in the feedback circuit;

T a is the phase shift in the circuit (in the load);
n = 1, 2, 3 ..., where n is a natural number series.
The phase shift in the semiconductor triode (or tetrode) differs basically from
the phase shift in an electron tube. In the semiconductor triode (in the following,
the tetrode can be substituted everywhere too) the phase shift is determined by the
effect of the current flowing through the base and the junctions between emitter and
base and base and collector.
13 If the investigation is restricted to no-voltage and critical operation, the
low permeability of semiconductor triodes will make it permissible to neglect the

tion.
Under these conditions, the equivalent tri-
ode system must be derived from an analysis of
the currents in the system shown in Fig.l.

between the excitation voltage U0 and the current of the collector Ik (or the voltage
under load Un = IkRn).
This phase shift is easily determined by means of the oscillotions (see the
test for calculating Tdr), or the voltages are given directly at the vertical and
horizontal tube plates, passing through the amplifier.
The result of the variations in the angle T. for the triode PZB are given in
Fig.lO. The measurements are made by the very same method used in the previous ex-
periment. It is significant to compare the measured angles Tdr and T. at a frequency
of approx. 170 kc (Figs.B and 10). Here we have the angle Tdr = 900 and the angle
Ts = 1350, which, generally, agrees quite well with the theoretical conclusions (see
Fig.6, where Teo < 45? when qdr = 900).
At the lowest frequencies, the angle Teo is quite small, and consequently the
values of the angles Tdr and T. converge

+ Tdr is the shift in phase between the
voltage of the excitation source UO and the first harmonic of the collector current

Fig.ll.
In the known systems of vacuum-tube self-oscillators, the phase shift between
the currents Ial and the voltage under load (circuit) U usually'tends toward zero.
This indicates that the frequency of the generated oscillations and the natural
frequency of the circuit practically coincide. From. the view-point of the required

frequency stability and energy indexes, this system is optimal. However, it is
known that, if the sum of the phase angles of the triode Ts and the feedback Tk do
_ ? not equal zero, a separation between the natural and oscillating frequencies will
occur. The sign and value of the separation are determined by the equation
(20)
where q'a is the load phase angle.
In principle, the angle ma may vary within the limits of t90?; however, in prac-
tice by virtue of a considerable reduction
of the equivalent resistance of the cir-
cuit outside of the limits of its zone of
passage, the angle q'a changes within con-
siderably smaller limits. In other words,
if it is required to satisfy the phase
balance at greater T a, then the oscilla-
Fig.11

tion collapses due to a disrupted amplitude balance.
It follows from this that the sum of the angles q)s and T k must also be close to
zero [see eq.(20)]. The variations in the angle cps for the semiconductor triode
were already examined.
In the known systems of single-circuit self-oscillators, the phase angle of the
feedback factor can be made to approach 00 or 180?. In two-circuit and three-circuit
self-oscillators, the phase of the feedback factor, at loose coupling between the
circuits, may vary within wider limits due to a variation in natural frequency of
one of the circuits (in the two-circuit system) or of two of the circuits (in the
three-circuit setup).
From the above statement it follows that the values (ps + (Pk approaching 90? are
more disadvantageous, since it is hardly possible to compensate for such a shift in
e
phase [sqe eq.(20)] in the common self-oscillator. Consequently, in self-oscillators

with a semiconductor triode, one may expect oscillation failure at frequencies to
which q)s + Tk - 900 corresponds.
As mentioned above, in ordinary self-oscillation systems, the value CPk - 0 can
be considered as the first approximation. Then, the approach of P s to 900 denotes
the limiting frequency of self-oscillation, if the characteristic cp s - p(f) is used.'
Obviously, an oscillation failure may oc-
cur due to an amplitude-imbalance. How-
ever, we will disregard this point for the;
time being.
To put all the above material to a
practical test, a self-oscillator was se-
lected with an inductive Hartley circuit
(Fig.12) in a triode of the PZB type. For
this, the earlier characteristic s = P (f )
Fig.12
?
(Fig.10) was taken. -
Careful measuring showed that the highest cutoff frequency of the oscillator fnp
is 90 kc. A study of the curve (Ps = (P(f) shows that the angle P s = 900, is corre-
lated by a frequency of, for example, 70 kc. The coincidence of the results should
be considered satisfactory, if the error in measuring the phase P s is taken into con-
sideration according to our accepted method (by placing the large elliptical axis at
the tube grid). Besides this, the capacitance Co of the separating capacitor (see
below) could affect the result.
Investigation of Phase Correction Systems
For phase relation changes in the self-oscillation system, some reactance should
be included in the base circuit (Fig.13).

value reO, on the other hand, will tend toward the minimum.
Therefore, the fractional numerator in eqs.(21) will increase rapidly, while
the denominator will rise more slowly. The absolute value of the fraction will in-
crease with decreasing Co, and a boost in frequency (increase in Tdr), i.e., an ad-
vance in Ueo relative to Uo, will also increase the value. In Fig.11 the possibili-
ty of maintaining phase balance (q)s < 90?), even at angles (Pdr approaching-1800, is
demonstrated. As a consequence, a considerably more favorable phase balance can be
expected in the system with a low capacitance Co. As a result, higher frequencies
can be generated.
Actually, with a capacitor of Co = 1000 NNf at the triode PZB, steady self-
oscillations took place, going as low as a frequency of 300 kc. This limit frequency
trebled the cutoff frequency of 90 kc, obtained with the separation capacitor Co =
= 5? f when the condition of phase correction was not satisfied.
It would be quite interesting to analyze the experimental data given in Table 2.
This Table lists the self-oscillating frequencies and the smallest corresponding
feedback factors, insuring operation of the system close to oscillation decay. Be-
sides this, the Table gives the values of the capacitance Co, supplying the required
phase correction. The values of Co are not critical. A reduction in Co is a condi-
tion for raising the cutoff frequency of self-oscillations.

A frequency of 205 kc should be considered a limit in this respect for Co =

for Co = 1000 if. As preliminary data, a further decrease in Co does not permit an

In addition to its usefulness as a phase correction circuit, working with a low-
capacitance capacitor in the base circuit Co, the phase correction system can be op-
erated by means of inductance, and, consequently, a large capacitance Co can be con-
tained in the capacitor. Equation (21), derived above for (Peo, indicates that in
this case (and even at 0 . Tdr n) the products xoxeO < 0 and the fractional numera-

good results. In the absence of resonance

presence of "resonance" (roreo - xox, = 0), a
frequency of 500 kc was obtained. The required

ments not only as to phase balance but also as to amplitude. General directives in
this relation can be obtained from the previously diac,.ssed oscillatory characteris-
tics Ikl = cp(Uom). Since the voltage at the terminals of the collective load (cir-
cuit) is proportional only to the harmonic (Uk = Ikl Re), the oscillatory character-

Attention should be paid to the fact
that soft self-excitation is possible only when there is a'small emission with nega-
tive bias in the base. This result could have been foreseen, since the characteris-

in phase balance may be the cause of oscillation decay at high supercritical fre-
quencies, even leading to an upsetting of the amplitude balance as a result of the
power drop of the amplification factor.
2. The use of self-oscillator systems with phase correction in the feedback cir-
cuit permits an increase by several times in the cutoff frequencies=of self-'
oscillation. Fop example, in the self-oscillator with a low-frequency triode PZB,
steady oscillations at frequencies up to 500 kc can be obtained, whereas without cor-
rection, the cutoff frequency of self-oscillation equals 90 kc.
3. To improve self-excitation conditions in receiving soft self-excitations, it
is necessary to feed the base of the triode with some small preliminary negative
bias.

FREQUENCY BAND OF RADIOTELEGRAPH SIGNAL TRANSMISSIONS WITH AMPLITUDE
AND FREQUENCY KEYING
by
M.S.Gurevich
C
The frequency bandwidth is defined which is assigned to
radiotelegraph transmissions, with amplitude and frequency keying
by rectangular and rounding-off signals.
Introduction
The frequency bandwidth of transmission is important in characterizing the sys-
tem of radio communication and in indicating the effectiveness of the use of the
frequency spectrum. The bandwidth assigned to transmissions is called the frequency
band, containing 99% of the transmission power and including any discrete frequency
whose power consists of not less than 0.25 of the common transmitted output (Bibl.l
and 2).
. The examination presented below is based on the spectra of signal transmissions
("telegraph points"). This method, corresponding to the requirement for "regulation
of radio communications" (Bibl.l), easily permits theoretical computations and cor-
responding measurements. It is known that the spectra of "telegraph points" and the
actual communications are closely adjacent. The establishing of closer relations
between assigned bandwidth with the transmissions of "telegraph points" and the ac-
tual communications demands a special study and is beyond the scope of the present
article.
Bandwidths Assigned to Transmissions with Amplitude Keying
