Claims

1. A SEMI-CONDUCTOR NONRECIPROCAL SIGNAL TRANSLATING SYSTEM COMPRISING IN COMBINATION, SIGNAL INPUT CIRCUIT MEANS, HALL-EFFECT SEMI-CONDUCTOR SIGNAL TRANSLATING MEANS MAGNETICALLY COUPLED TO SAID INPUT CIRCUIT MEANS ALONG ONE OF THREE SUBSTANTIALLY MUTUALLY-PERPENDICULAR AXES, MEANS FOR APPLYING ELECTRICAL ENERGY TO SAID HALL-EFFECT SIGNAL TRANSLATING MEANS ALONG A SECOND ONE OF SAID AXES, SEMI-CONDUCTOR DIODE SIGNAL-TRANSLATING CIRCUIT MEANS DIRECTLY COUPLED IN CASCADE WITH SAID HALL-EFFECT MEANS THROUGH AND ALONG A THIRD ONE OF SAID AXES TO PROVIDE IN CONJUNCTION WITH SAID HALL-EFFECT MEANS AN INTEGRATED FOUR TERMINAL NETWORK, AND MEANS FOR DERIVING AN OUTPUT SIGNAL FROM SAID SEMI-CONDUCTOR DIODE CIRCUIT MEANS AT A PREDETERMINED FREQUENCY RELATED TO THE FREQUENCY OF AN APPLIED SIGNAL.

2. A SEMI-CONDUCTOR NONRECIPROCAL SIGNAL TRANSLATING SYSTEM AS DEFINED TO CLAIM 1, WHEREIN THE SIGNAL INPUT CIRCUIT MEANS INCLUDES A NON-AMPLIFYING TUNNEL DIODE FOR CIRCUIT Q CORRECTION AND ENHANCED HALL-EFFECT EFFICIENCY.
