MAGNETIC GENERATION OF A GROUP OF HARMONICS 443 the harmonic output corresponding are but little affected by change ofinput amplitude. With a linear amplifier the harmonic output currentwould vary roughly as the four-tenths power of the input current. Another application involving higher frequencies has been made tothe generation of the so-called group carriers used in conjunctionwith a coaxial conductor.^^ There odd harmonics of 24 kc. from the9th to the 45th are used. The circuit differs from Fig. 1 in that thecopper oxide bridge is omitted, and the non-linear coil is provided withtwo windings to facilitate impedance matching. The performance ofan experimental model is similar to that of the generator describedabove. A notion of the physical size and construction of the non-linear coils used may be had from the photographs of Fig. 5
