How they work Dynatron oscillator
dynatron tube, first tube produce dynatron oscillations, invented albert hull in 1918. saw little use since triode , tetrode, invented in 1926, proved capable of dynatron oscillations also.
the dynatron , transitron oscillators differ many oscillator circuits in not use feedback generate oscillations, negative resistance. tuned circuit (resonant circuit), consisting of inductor , capacitor connected together, can store electric energy in form of oscillating currents, ringing analogously tuning fork. if tuned circuit have 0 electrical resistance, once oscillations started function oscillator, producing continuous sine wave. because of inevitable resistance inherent in actual circuits, without external source of power energy in oscillating current dissipated heat in resistance, , oscillations decay zero.
in dynatron , transitron circuits, vacuum tube biased 1 of electrodes has negative differential resistance. means when voltage on electrode respect cathode increased, current through decreases. tuned circuit connected between electrode , cathode. negative resistance of tube cancels positive resistance of tuned circuit, creating in effect tuned circuit 0 ac resistance. spontaneous continuous sinusoidal oscillating voltage generated, started electrical noise in circuit when turned on.
an advantage of these oscillators negative resistance effect largely independent of frequency, using suitable values of inductance , capacitance in tuned circuit operate on wide frequency range, few hertz around 20 mhz. advantage used simple single lc tuned circuit without taps or tickler coils required oscillators such hartley or armstrong circuits.
