摘要:
A magnetron with a central cathode coaxially surrounded by an annular anode forming an array of cylindrical resonant cavities is tunable by an axially movable disk carrying hollow plungers which project into these cylinders, the disk being spacedly overlain by a lid or wall member defining therewith a shallow chamber for the circulation of a cooling fluid. The fluid enters and leaves via expandable inlet and outlet channels to traverse not only the chamber but also the interior of the several plungers. The axial adjustment of the disk is brought about by rotation of a ring with an internally threaded hub engaging a complementarily threaded hollow boss rigid with the disk, the chamber communicating with the interior of the boss through peripheral apertures of the latter. The fluid is branched off a hydraulic circuit for the cooling of the stationary electrode structure formed by the anode and the cathode.

Two variable-frequency microwave generators, i.e. a coaxial magnetron producing outgoing waves and a voltage-controlled oscillator emitting a heterodyning signal for incoming waves of a radar transceiver, are continuously tuned by a pilot signal modifying their operating frequencies with a predetermined constant separation. To maintain this correlation, the tuning circuit of at least one microwave generator responds to the pilot signal through the intermediary of a read-only memory which, on being directly or indirectly addressed by that signal, emits stored setting instructions for the respective generator.

A traveling-wave tube has coupled cells in a periodic arrangement defined between apertured irises separated by respective spacers. The spacers have dielectric waveguides terminating in lossly loads to attenuate RF frequencies above the upper limit of the frequency to be amplified by the tube.
摘要:
A resonant cavity of a microwave generator, such as a magnetron oscillator, is provided with a tuning piston which is displaceable between two terminal positions, corresponding to respective limiting frequencies, by means of a rotating crank-shaft whose eccentric portion is hugged by a nonrotatable follower ring suspended between two flexible wires or blades extending generally radially outward from diametrically opposite points of the ring. A yoke spacedly surrounding the ring is provided with two oppositely extending tubular arms in which the wires or blades are received with clearance while being fastened to the ends of these arms remote from the yoke; the tuning piston is rigidly connected with one of the two arms.
摘要:
A resonant cavity of a microwave generator, such as a magnetron oscillator, is provided with a tuning piston which is rectilinearly displaceable between two terminal positions, corresponding to respective limiting frequencies, by means of a rotating crankshaft whose eccentric portion constitutes the inner race of a ball or roller bearing. The outer race of that bearing rolls, directly or through the intermediary of a captive spherical or cylindrical coupling member, on a transverse face of the tuning piston held in contact therewith by spring pressure.
