Voltage - Triode (with diode, heptode or hexode) ·Diode-Diode-Triode

DDT

Cossor double-diode triode combining receiver detection and voltage amplification. The two diodes provide rectifying detector functions while the triode amplifies the recovered signal, integrating common receiver detector-stage functions within one valve.
