f~003/014 Electron Gun Assembl This invention relates to an electron gun assembly and more particularly, but not exclusively, to an electron gun assembly suitable for use in inductive output tubes (IOTs).
An electron gun assembly includes a cathode from which an electron beam is generated at its front suzface and usually also includes one or more control electrodes to govern the profile of the electron beam so produced and to control its electron density. The present invention is concerned with an electron gun assembly in which both a control grid and focus electrode are included in front of the cathode.
According to the invention, there is provided an electron gun assembly comprising: a cathode, a control grid having a substantially cylindrical support and a focus electrode having a substantially cylindrical support, the control grid and focus electrode being in electrical contact with one another and being mounted on a comrnvn mount.
By providing a common mount for the control grid and focus electrode, instead of separate structures to support these two components, the amount of material used in the mounting arrangement is reduced, hence presenting a reduced thermal capacity.
This permits thermal equilibrium to be reached nacre quickly than would be case with a separately mounted control grid and focus electrode. Thus) the electron gun assembly reaches an operational state more quickly. fiurthermore, the invention provides a simple, mechanical robust construction which also occupies a smaller volume within the vacuum envelope surrounding an electron gun. The comz~cton mount may consist of a single component or could be made up of several separate components which are joined together. The common 25 could be made up of several separate components which are joined together.
The common mount is preferably a complete annulus, but it could be interrupted at one or more places around its circumference. In one embodiment, the common mount is annular, having an axially extensive cylindrical part and a flange part extensive normal to the axis, the axis being parallel to the direction of the electron beam. The cylindrical supports may be fixed to the axially extensive part and/or the flange part of the common mount.
The substantially cylindrical supports of the control gnd and focus electrode also may be made as thin walled shells, the cylindrical configuration being m~hanically strong.
Hence) the supports also present a small thermal capacity such that the whole assembly reaches an operating condition quickly. The control grid and its support may be a single integral component, and similarly so may the focus electrode and its support.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the cylindrical supports for the control grid and for the focus electrode have sides which are parallel to one another but in other x 5 arrangements they may diverge. The cylindrical supports extend rearwardly behind the front face of the cathode such that in a preferred embodiment) the common mount is located behind the front face of the cathode. This arrangement is advantageous as it removes the influence of the mount structure from a region where it miight affect the profile of the electron beam generated at the front face of the cathode.
As the control grid and focus electrode are in electrical contact with one another at the common mount, they may be mounted directly one on the other, minimising the number of components required and simplifying the assembly. Spacer means may be included between at least two of the common mount) the grid support and the focus electrode support to achieve 05/05 '99 18:09 FAX 01245 275114 GEC PATENT DEPT ~~~ KIRBY EADES GALE l~

the required spacing between these components. For example, the spacer means may comprise one or more packing washers, or separate spacers located around the periphery of one of the components.
The cylindrical supports may advantageously have ends which are substantially normal to the cylindrical walls of the supports although they could be configured so as to lie somewhere between the generally axially extensive direction of the main part of the cylindrical support and the preferred configuration lying in a plane transverse to the axial direction. T'he ends may then be the pacts of the cylindrical supports which are fixed to the convnon mount. In an alternative embodiment, the cylindrical supports may be fixed to the common mount via their cylindrical walls.

However) in other arrangements, they may be separately fixed to the common mount. In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of fixing members are distributed spatially around the cylindrical supports, for example) these could be screws passing through the supports, to fix them firmly against a receiving face on the common mount. Washers or sonic compliant member could be interposed between the cylindrical supports and mount or fining members. In other arrangements, a single fixing means may be provided, for example, as an annular clamp arrangement.
