<p>A tone generator for a telecommunication-especially telephone-system operating in the PAM/TDM mode comprises two complementary transistors with interconnected emitters joined to a "hot" conductor of a two-wire transmission path forming part of a trunk line between two groups of subscribers, the collectors of these transistors being connected through respective series resistors to a positive and a negative terminal of a DC source. These collectors are further coupled via respective shunt condensers to the "cold" conductor of the transmission path which is grounded through a low-ohmic further resistor. A local oscillator supplies a sinusoidal voltage wave through an operational amplifier to the interconnected bases of the two transistors whereby one or the other transistor conducts upon simultaneous closure, during a time slot assigned to a called subscriber, of a trunk switch at the near end and of a line switch at the far end of the transmission path enabling the resonant discharge of one of the previously charged shunt condensers into a remote line capacitor. Residual energy remaining stored on the parasitic capacitance of the two conductors is dissipated in a subsequent guard interval, upon the reopening of the two switches, as the partly discharged shunt condenser is recharged through the grounding resistor.</p> |
