[Also in Divisions G4 and H1] A Hall multiplier performing independent operations y = AC and z = BC where A and B are represented by electrical inputs, C is represented by a magnetic field, and y, z are represented by electrical outputs comprises a Hall plate substantially symmetrical along orthogonal axes with associated magnetic means subjecting it to a magnetic field representing C; with electrode pairs permitting application to the plate in mutually perpendicular directions of two input currents representing A.B and extraction therefrom in mutually perpendicular directions of two discrete voltages representing y and z. The opposed pairs of electrodes may operate both as input and output channels; the input signals being unrelated and distinct. Where A and B are component values of a vector V=iA and jB, the device produces the vector product so that the device may produce the product of an oscillatory vector applied as a magnetic field representing value C and a relating current vector produced in the Hall plate by applying to the electrodes quadrature input currents representing A and B, the discrete output voltages representing y and z being distinguished by their phase angle. The Hall plates H, H1 may be of square or circular profile and provided with two pairs of current input electrodes A 1 A 2 , B 1 B 2 and two pairs of voltage output electrodes C 1 C 2 , D 1 D 2 , with magnetic field coils MC energized to represent the variable C (Figs. 2, 3). Applied to demodulation (Fig. 7) carrier signals C, C1 in quadrature are applied to the respective electrode pairs A 1 A 2 and B 1 B 2 of a Hall plate device H to produce a rotating electric current vector therein, and received sideband signals S, S1 energize the field coil MC of the device. Corresponding phase displaced outputs from the electrode pairs are low pass filtered from carrier frequency at F 1 1/F 2 1 and the resultants are phase shifted Œ90 degrees by networks PS 1 , PS 2 and additionally or subtractively combined at CC to eliminate unwanted frequency component S1 while reinforcing the wanted component S in output signal SS. The Hall plate may have separate input and output electrodes (Figs. 4, 5, not shown). Applied to modulation (Fig. 9) input signals S 1 S 3 are applied to respective channels feeding corresponding electrode pairs A 1 A 2 and B 1 B 2 of a Hall plate device H. Carriers S 1 S 3 are applied in additive combination to magnetic field coil MC and double sideband modulated signals S1C1, S1C3; S3C1, S3C3; appear at the respective electrode pairs. Bandpass filters BFP1, BFP3 extract the required sidebands from the double sideband signals S1C1, S3C3 for output channels 1, 3. The Hall plate device is also applicable to modulators or demodulators of the kind described in Specification 1,079,854.
