A depressed beam collector and an RF source comprising a depressed beam collector. The RF source may include, e.g., a multi-beam klystron, a single beam klystron, or other RF sources having an electron gun. The beam collector collects spent electrons from the electron gun and comprises a grounded portion configured to collect a portion of electrons entering the collector and a biased portion configured to collect another portion of the electrons entering the collector and having a depressed energy.

A traveling wave tube incorporates a collector having a plurality of collector electrodes, one or more of which is operated at a potential below that of the cathode so as to collect electrons having associated energies greater than the cathode potential (E.sub.K), and thereby act as a high impedance current source. The current from the collector electrode operated below the cathode potential (E.sub.K) is converted by a power converter to an alternating current signal that can be either magnetically coupled to the high voltage transformer (T.sub.1) of the traveling wave tube power supply, or coupled to an external load with a transformer (T.sub.2), thereby improving the operating efficiency of the traveling wave tube system.

A self-biasing element is formed by coupling an electron accumulator to a collector stage of a linear-beam microwave tube with a base which has a selected resistance. The electron accumulator has a secondary emission coefficient less than one and is positioned to intercept a portion of the electrons in the electron beam of the linear-beam microwave tube. The electron accumulator thus acquires a negative voltage whose magnitude is controlled by selecting the base resistance and the radial and axial position of the self-biasing element within the collector. Various arrangements of self-biasing elements and collector stages are disclosed which improve the efficiency and RF performance of the microwave tube.

A multi-stage depressed collector for receiving energy from a small orbit gyrating electron beam employs a plurality of electrodes at different potentials for sorting the individual electrons on the basis of their total energy level. Magnetic field generating coils, for producing magnetic fields and magnetic iron for magnetic field shaping produce adiabatic and controlled non-adiabatic transitions of the incident electron beam to further facilitate the sorting.

According to this invention, a traveling-wave tube amplifier includes a traveling-wave tube having a multistage depressed collector and a power supply for applying operation voltages to the traveling-wave tube. A body voltage (Vb) for a cathode of the traveling-wave tube is set to be lower than a small-signal synchronous voltage (Vbs) at which a small-signal gain of the traveling-wave tube is maximized. As a result, a tube efficiency (.eta.t) of the traveling-wave tube can be increased and an efficiency of the traveling-wave tube amplifier can be increased as compared with a conventional device.

This invention relates to an anode assembly for a magnetron used to generate microwaves in a microwave oven. An object of the invention is to inexpensively prevent the generation of gas due to impurities within the active space within the anode assembly. Such gas can interfere with the movement of thermally excited electrons within the active space and thereby cause abnormal oscillation of the microwave energy output. In the invention, the surfaces of the magnetron's hollow anode cylinder and plate-shaped anode vanes are made of electrical-grade copper with a coating of oxygen-free copper having an extremely low impurity content.

In a klystron, or other device which uses modulation of an electron beam to produce amplification of an applied high frequency signal, a collector is used to receive electrons of the beam after the amplified signal has been coupled from the device. Any secondary electrons produced by the impact of high energy electrons on the collector surface are prevented from returning back along the klystron by a periodic magnetic field produce by magnets which coaxially surround the collector.

A magnetron having a rising sun anode includes a slot which is extensive in a plane transverse to the axis and in which a tuning member is located. The tuning member may be moved inwardly and outwardly to control the frequency of the magnetron output radiation, the member being arranged such that it can intercept the anode cavities by a variable amount to change their resonant characteristics.
