Abstract:

1. In a secret telephone transmission system in which speech waves are analyzed into component speech-defining low frequency signals which are coded in stepped wave form, a group of frequency modulators of the same type and same average frequency, means to impress said signals of stepped wave form on the respective frequency modulators to produce a plurality of frequency modulated waves of the same average frequency, and means to translate said last waves into frequency modulated waves accurately positioned at different frequency levels comprising a separate amplitude modulator for shifting the frequency of each such frequency modulated wave, and means to supply to said amplitude modulators carrier waves of accurately spaced frequency comprising a source of base frequency waves of highly constant frequency and a harmonic generator for fixing the frequencies of said supplied carrier waves.
