    摘要: A vacuum tube for handling an r.f. signal having a predetermined frequency range comprises a cathode, a heater, and a non-electron emissive grid. The grid is positioned from the cathode by the distance an emitted electron from the cathode can travel in a quarter cycle of the r.f. signal. Outer and inner metal tubes forming a resonant line of a signal coupler are respectively connected to the grid and cathode. R.F. absorbers absorb r.f. fields in an interaction region between an anode and the grid. In one embodiment a coupling loop is between metal tubes at an end of the tubes spaced n.lambda./4 from the grid and cathode. In a second embodiment the coupler includes a coaxial line having an inner conductor connected to a first metal face, spaced from a second opposed metal face by a solid dielectric. An outer conductor is connected to a third metal face, spaced from a fourth opposed metal face by the dielectric. The third and fourth faces surround the first and second faces. The first and third faces are at ground potential while the second and fourth faces are at high negative DC voltages. The second and fourth faces are respectively at common ends of interior and exterior coaxial metal tubes forming a .lambda./2 coupler. Hollow inductive structures extend between the inner and outer metal tubes and at different locations along the tubes. Bias leads may be inserted into the inductive structures for shielding.

    摘要: An electron gun comprises a cathode made of an emissive material with an active face emitting electrons through a control grid that is placed before the active face but has no contact with it. The active face has emissive zones and non-emissive zones. The non-emissive zones are formed by grooves hollowed out of the emissive material. The control grid has solid parts that directly face the grooves. Application to electron guns with reduced heating of the control grid. FIG. 5 .

    摘要: An improved electron gun is shown with a cathode having a smooth, concaved surface and a grooved pattern therein which matches, and is aligned with, the pattern of a shadow grid placed immediately before the cathode surface so that the outer, larger radius of curvature of the shadow grid closest to the cathode is substantially identical and concentric with the radius of curvature of the smooth, concave cathode surface. Beyond the shadow grid is a control grid which controls the flow of electrons emitted from the cathode toward an anode. The grooves which form the pattern within the cathode surface have tapered side walls and rounded outer and inner corners to improve the flow of emitted electrons and facilitate manufacture.

    摘要: A gun for a linear-beam electron tube has a control grid for modulating the beam current which consists of an array of conductive web elements whose spacing from each other is much larger than their spacing from the concave emissive surface of the cathode. It was found that when this condition is met the grid can be operated at cathode potential while beam current is being drawn without distorting the electric accelerating field enough to ruin the focusing of the beam. Thus, when the grid is used to pulse the beam current on and off, it can have zero bias in the "on" condition, whereby the pulse modulator can be greatly simplified.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for preventing oscillations in high-current electron guns. Spurious oscillations frequently occur as a result of interaction of the electron stream with the fields of resonant modes of the gun structure. The resonant impedances of the modes are lowered by damping with lossy dielectric or resistive materials which are suited to the high temperature and vacuum environment of electron guns. The lossy materials are located in places shielded from high electric fields applied to the gun. Lossy dielectric materials which are D.C. insulators may be used as insulating supports for gun electrodes.

    摘要: A gridded convergent flow electron gun employs a dimpled oxide coated thermionic cathode emitter facing a centrally apertured accelerating anode. A multiapertured control grid is interposed in the space between the dimpled oxide coated cathode and the anode for pulsing the electron beam. A multiapertured shadow grid is disposed overlaying the emitting surface of the cathode emitter with the apertures of the shadow grid being in alignment and in registration with the respective dimpled areas of the emitter and the corresponding apertures in the control grid for projecting a multiplicity of non-intercepting convergent flow beamlets through the individual holes in the control grid. The shadow grid is placed in nominal contact with the cathode emitter and is made of a material having essentially the same coefficient of thermal expansion as the cathode. In a preferred embodiment, the cathode includes a nickel base member and the shadow grid is made of nickel.
