Abstract:
In a coaxial power grid tube, the control grid lead passes into the envelope of the tube coaxially of and within the cathode lead structure. A cross-over structure is provided within the envelope for passing the control grid structure through the cathode lead structure in insulative relation thereto. The cathode lead structure includes a pair of concentric radially spaced cylinders (double wall) connected together for applying potential to one end of a directly heated thermionic cathode emitter, whereas the other lead for the cathode emitter is disposed in insulative relation within the interior of the double wall cathode lead structure for completely shielding the internal cathode lead from RF energy present in either the grid drive or output RF circuits of the tube.
Abstract:
An external anode electron tube having improved conductive cooling means. A hermetically sealed tube envelope is disclosed having a relatively massive annular, generally cup-shaped metallic external anode having a plurality of spaced, annular projections, and a ceramic tubular envelop member hermetically sealed to the ends of the anode projections. An annular, metallic mounting flange is also disclosed having a plurality of spaced sections, each section having a surface coplanar with a surface of each other section. A disc-shaped ceramic header is further disclosed positioned in spaced relation within the annular flange. The header has a plurality of terminal pins projecting therethrough.
