Abstract:
To provide a magnetron improved in high efficiency and load stability while suppressing costs. By shortening the height of vane Vh so that the ratio of the height of vane Vh to a gap between end hats EHg (EHg/Vh) satisfies a condition 1.12≦EHg/Vh≦1.26, an input side pole piece-vane gap IPpvg becomes larger than an output side pole piece-vane gap OPpvg, and an input side end hat-vane gap IPevg becomes larger than an output side end hat-vane gap OPevg, load stability at high efficiency can be improved while shortening the height of vane Vh. Therefore, it is possible to provide a magnetron improved in high efficiency and load stability while suppressing costs.

The high-power magnetron includes a cathode configured to emit electrons in response to receiving a supply of voltage from a power supply. The high-power magnetron includes an anode configured to concentrically surround the cathode and to attract the emitted electrons across an interaction region between the cathode and the anode. The compact magnetic field generator includes a plurality of permanent magnets including: a cathode magnet that has a longitudinal axis of symmetry annularly and that is surrounded by the cathode and disposed within the magnetron; and an anode magnet configured to annularly surround an outer perimeter of the magnetron.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a low pressure metal halide fluorescent lamp. The metal halide fluorescent lamp may have an oblate spheroid cavity discharge vessel filled with an ionizable metal halide surrounding an exciter housing. An exciter within the exciter housing may drive the ionizable metal halide in an inductively coupled electrode-less manner. One or more embodiments may include one or more heat spreaders and/or thermal transfer pipes for transferring heat from the exciter to a surface of the oblate discharge vessel.

A plasma lighting system having a thin metallic film resonator includes: an electrodeless bulb emitting light by making luminous material filled therein converted into plasma state; and a resonator housing the electrodeless bulb in an inner space, transmitting the light generated from the electrodeless bulb, and blocking the microwave generated from a microwave generator and applied to the inner space from being leaked out so that a resonance mode is provided to make the electrodeless bulb emit light, wherein the resonator is a thin metallic film resonator including a thin metallic film formed in a cylindrical shape and a supporting member extended along the inner peripheral surface of the thin metallic film so as to support the thin metallic film.
Abstract:
An electron beam tube includes a unitary metal cylinder and a plurality of transverse walls located within it which define resonant cavities. As the cylinder is in one piece vacuum joints are only required at the ends of the structure. Drift spaces between the resonant cavities are enclosed within drift tubes which join two adjacent transverse walls. The inner diameter of the tube is stepped to facilitate assembly and accuracy of the structure. In use, an electron beam is generated and interacts with applied r.f. energy to produce amplification of an applied r.f. signal.
Abstract:
A broad-band traveling-wave tube is provided, which contains a cylindrical waveguide made of a plurality of pole pieces and a plurality of spacers alternately arranged along its axis. A helix is placed in the waveguide to extend along the axis of the waveguide. The helix is held by helix supports not to be contacted with the waveguide. The inner wall of the waveguide has a plurality of offsets arranged at intervals along the axis of the waveguide. A bore-diameter-varying portion can be created inside a waveguide without mounting vanes.
Abstract:
The present invention is based on a relatively simple mechanism which heretofore has not been tried before. The mechanism depends on modulation of a collimated beam transverse to the beam direction rather than the usual longitudinal modulation. Conversion of the transverse motion into longitudinal bunching in an output cavity is accomplished by means of the difference in path length in a bending magnet. Since the present invention does not depend on longitudinal modulation, it is suitable for pulsed superpower (1 GW) applications, but it can be equally suited for multi-megawatt cw applications. The present invention pertains to an apparatus for bunching relativistic electrons. The apparatus comprises means for imparting a periodic velocity in a first direction in a first region to electrons of an electron beam moving in a second direction. The apparatus also is comprised of means for causing electrons to follow a path length in a second region corresponding to the velocity in the first direction such that the path length is determined by the velocity imparted in the first direction. The differing path length causes beam electrons to be bunched as they exit the second region, allowing microwave power to be extracted from the bunches by conventional means.
Abstract:
A sputter magnetron ion source for producing an intense plasma in a cathode container which ionizes a high and substantial percentage of the sputter cathode material and means for extracting the ions of the cathode material in a beam. The ion extraction means is implemented by a magnetic field cusp configuration with a null region adjacent to the open end of the cathode container. Ions so produced are able to be directed at right angles to a substrate being coated for efficient via filling.
Abstract:
A shielded serpentine slow wave deflection structure (10) having a serpene signal conductor (12) within a channel groove (46). The channel groove (46) is formed by a serpentine channel (20) in a trough plate (18) and a ground plane (14). The serpentine signal conductor (12) is supported at its ends by coaxial feed through connectors 28. A beam interaction trough (22) intersects the channel groove (46) to form a plurality of beam interaction regions (56) wherein an electron beam (54) may be deflected relative to the serpentine signal conductor (12).
