Another factor working in opposition to connecting the telephone in the antennacircuit directly, is the fact that the impedance of the telephone winding will not permithigh frequency currents to pass. Hence we are compelled to either convert the currentof radio-frequency into a uni-directional pulsating current or into an alternating currentof a frequency within the range of the human ear. Currents of radio-frequency induced in receiver aerials may be made audible by meansof a simple rectiHer—z. device which will permit the preponderance of current to flowthrough a given circuit in one direction only. If a rectifier is placed in series with a circuit 132 PRACTICAL WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY. 05CILLATI0MS.
