Constant power generator

Claim 1

A CONSTANT POWER SIGNAL GENERATING SYSTEM INCLUDING IN COMBINATION: A VOLTAGE-TO-FREQUENCY CONVERTER RESPONSIVE TO AN APPLIED VOLTAGE FOR PRODUCING A SERIES OF PULSES HAVING A REPETITION FREQUENCY WHICH IS A FUNCTION OF THE APPLIED VOLTAGE; FIRST CIRCUIT MEANS COUPLED TO SAID CONVERTER FOR APPLYING SAID VOLTAGE THERETO; COUNTER NETWORK MEANS COUPLED TO SAID CONVERTER FOR PRODUCING FOUR SUCCESSIVE RECTANGULAR WAVE SIGNALS EACH HAVING A PERIOD WHICH IS A FUNCTION OF THE INTERVAL BETWEEN SUCCESSIVE ONES OF SAID PULSES; FIRST AND SECOND FURTHER CIRCUIT MEANS COUPLED TO SAID COUNTER NETWORK MEANS AND RESPECTIVELY RESPONSIVE TO FIRST AND SECOND PAIRS OF SAID RECTANGULAR WAVE SIGNALS FOR PRODUCING A DIRECT-CURRENT VOLTAGE HAVING AN AMPLITUDE WHICH IS A FUNCTION OF THE PERIOD OF EACH OF SAID SIGNALS; AND MEANS COUPLED TO SAID FIRST CIRCUIT MEANS AND TO SAID FIRST AND SECOND FURTHER CIRCUIT MEANS AND RESPONSIVE TO SAID DIRECT-CURRENT VOLTAGE THEREFROM FOR PRODUCING A CURRENT IN SAID FIRST CIRCUIT MEANS WHOSE VALUE IS AN INVERSE FUNCTION OF THE REPETITION FREQUENCY OF SAID PULSES.
