CONVERTER DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONVERTING ELECTRIC SIGNALS BY MEANS OF THE DEVICE Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: radio engineering. SUBSTANCE: method involves sending input signals to converter member, controlling their fields interaction in the converter member material accompanied with energy interexchange causing effective electromotor force of conversion to arise. A converted signal satisfying a relation of the form U'(t)=, where U'(t) is the effective electromotor force on the conversion member, R_x is the Hall coefficient of the conversion member conducting material (in m³/Kl), l is the conversion member length in the current direction (in m), x₀- is the minimum of the conversion member cross-section linear dimensions set in perpendicular to current direction therein (in m), γ≈ τ•ε₀ (Kl/V m) ε₀- is the dielectric constant, ε≈10¹¹ (Kl/V m), τ - is the dimensionless coefficient representing the field correlation degree in a conducting medium; ∑U_i(t), where i = 1:n, is the total voltage of the input signals under conversion; U₀(t) - is the input signal voltage. Relation linking physical and geometric parameters of the converter member and input signal voltage sums are selected so that condition 2γ|Rx|U/x₀l≥1, where U is the voltage on the converter member being equal to the sum of input signal voltage values, τ is within the limits of 10^-3-10^-2. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness in detecting and converting signals in electric one-port device with minimum information losses. 15 cl, 12 dwg
