In a conventional traveling-wave tube electron gun using an impregnated cathode, the mask electrode 7 is connected to the electron emission surface 4.
If the contact is not sufficient, electrons are emitted from the gap generated between them, and electron emission different from the design occurs. Further, since the two electrodes of the mask electrode 7 and the beam extraction electrode 8 are coaxially grounded with respect to the electron emission surface 4, when an axis shift occurs in each electrode, the beam shifts from the design trajectory and proceeds. There have been problems such as a decrease in performance as a waveguide.

Usually, electrons are emitted by forming a monoatomic layer of barium on the electron emission surface 4 of the impregnated cathode 1. For this reason, it is unnecessary to form a barium monoatomic layer in a portion that does not require electron emission. In the present embodiment, the electron emission surface 4 is modified so that barium does not appear on the electron emission surface 4 by diffusion in a portion of the electron emission surface 4 that does not need to emit electrons, so that electron emission is not performed. Part 9
Is formed. The modification of the electron emission surface 4 is performed by a method of mechanically blocking the diffusion path of the impregnating material. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, by forming a groove 10a by shaving the surface of the electron emission surface 4 along a lattice-like pattern, the porous tungsten near the surface of the groove 10a is destroyed and heated. To block the diffusion path of barium. If the diffusion path is cut off during heating, barium does not appear on the surface, so this portion becomes the electron non-emitting portion 10 and the other surface becomes the electron emitting portion 9. The impregnated cathode 1 thus produced has an electron emitting portion 9 and an electron non-emitting portion 10 on the electron emitting surface 4 simultaneously, that is, integrally. That is, when the groove 10a is formed, as shown in FIG. 3, diffusion of barium from a portion corresponding to the groove 10a is not recognized. In this case, the impregnating material in the impregnated cathode 1 is BaO, CaO, Al 2 O 3 , and this impregnating material causes the following reaction at about 1,100 degrees.

Embodiment 2 FIG. As a second embodiment, a case where the electron non-emitting portion 10 is formed by modifying the electron emitting surface by applying a chemical reaction will be described. The impregnated cathode made according to the second embodiment has the same shape and effect as those shown in FIG. The modification of the electron emission surface 4 according to the second embodiment is performed by a method of blocking the diffusion path of the impregnating material using a chemical reaction. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, impregnation in which a mask 9a is applied to the surface of the electron emission surface 4 corresponding to the lattice-shaped openings and a small amount of moisture is attached and contained through the openings of the mask 9a Type cathode 1
By exposing the porous tungsten and the impregnating material near the surface to the temperature of 0 ° C. or more, the diffusion path of barium is blocked. When the diffusion path is cut off, barium does not appear on the surface, so that as shown in FIG. 5, a region R where barium cannot be supplied by reacting with this moisture is generated, and this portion becomes a grid-like electron non-emission portion 10. The surface from which the mask 9a has been removed becomes the electron emission portion 9. That is, in this example, the impregnating material is generally weak to moisture (humid atmosphere), and if it reacts with moisture, the reaction for supplying Ba cannot be performed. Utilizing this property, water is given to a portion corresponding to the electron non-emission portion 10 to hinder the supply reaction. The impregnated cathode thus formed has the electron emission portion 9 and the electron non-emission portion 10 in the electron emission surface 4 at the same time, that is, integrally. FIG. 6 shows the barium B from the place G with a small amount of moisture.
4 shows how the diffusion of a is blocked.
