Figure 10 shows the equivalent circuit for this system in the formof an infinite ladder structure. From this circuit relative magnitudes. Fig. 10—Equivalent circuit of idealized variable resistance microphone. Heremesh currents represent amplitudes of the various frequency components. Rorepresents the fixed and R the variable internal microphone resistance, while Rnqrepresents the external circuit resistance to the nth harmonic of the signal. of the various frequency components are readily perceived; evidentlythe successive harmonic current components decrease progressivelyin magnitude. A large value of Rnq makes the nth harmonic and allsuccessive harmonics small. A case in which quantitative informationis obtainable in simple form is that in which the resistances to allharmonics are equal {Rnq = Rt, n > I). In this case the equivalentnetwork beyond terminals (1) and (2) is a simple recurrent structureand the resistance is obtainable by the customary methods of handlinginfinite recurrent networks. The admittance looking in at theterminals (1, 2) is the iterative admittance of t
