Definitions

  • This invention relates to electron discharge apparatus and more particularly to push-pull amplifiers including electron discharge devices having secondary electron emitting electrodes.
  • One object of this invention is tosimplify electron discharge amplifying apparatus and thereby to reduce the number of component elements requisite to produce a desired high degree of amplification.
  • Another object of this invention is to simplify and to improve the structure of electron discharge devices comprising a plurality of groups of electrodes within a single enclosing vessel.
  • a push-pull amplifier comprises an electron discharge device including a pair of primary cathodes, a pair of anodes or collector electrodes each in cooperative relation with one of the primary cathodes, and a plurality ofequal rows of secondary cathodes, each row being in alignment with one of the primary cathodes and in cooperative relation with the corresponding anode or collector electrode.

Corresponding secondary cathodes in the two rows may be electrically connected.
  • the electrodes may be disposed in a strong magnetic field, which may be at substantially right angles to the axis of alignment of the oathodes and substantially parallel to the bases of the secondary cathodes. successively increasing positive potentials may be applied to the secondary cathodes so that each secondary cathode is at a potential higher than that upon the next preceding one with reference to the corresponding primary cathode.
  • An output circuit is connected to the anodes or collector electrodes.
  • the primary cathodes may be energized in any suitable manner to cause the emission of electrons therefrom and means are provided for varying the energization in accordance with a signal to be amplified, so that when the electron stream from one of the primary cathodes is increased that from the other of these cathodes is decreased to an equal degree.
  • the primary electrons under the influence of the magnetic field and the potentials upon the electrodes, are directed toward the secondary cathodes nearest the primary cathodes and impinge thereupon to cause the emission of secondary electrons. These electrons in turn impinge upon the next succeeding and associated secondary cathodes to cause the emanation of other secondary electrons. This action is repeated at each of the secondary cathodes and the electrons emanating from the cathodes furthest 5 removed from the primary cathodes flow to the collector electrodes and constitute the output current.
  • the secondary cathodes may have portions treated or coated so that the electron streams l0 emanating therefrom are of greater magnitude than the electron streams flowing thereto Hence, in effect an electron multiplication and an amplification obtains at each of the secondary cathodes. 15

  • the strips may be of silver and have portions thereof oxidized and treated with caesium to form a coating including silver, caesium oxide and some free caesium.
  • Suitable potentials may be applied to the primary and secondary cathodes through leading-in conductors 28 extending from the stem I I, sealed in uniform space relation in the annular flange l2 and projecting therefrom.

  • Fig. 5 wherein a number of the secondary cathodes are shown connected to equally spaced points on a potentiometer 43 supplied by a suitable source such as a rectifier Ml. Because of the large current drains the last two pairs of secondary cathodes are supplied with potentials from separate sources such as batteries 45, and the anodes and screen electrodes are connected to a separate source such as a battery 46.

  • the two signal light beams may be super-imposed upon biasing beams in phase.
  • the electrons emanating from the primary cathodes 20 and 29 are directed to and impinge upon the secondary cathodes 23 and 23 respectively and cause the emission of secondary electrons therefrom.

  • the channel-shaped form of the cathodes prevents substantial lateral dispersion of the electrons and assures the formation of two substantially independent electron streams, one along each of the electrode units.
  • the electron streams emanating from each of these cathodes will be materially greater in intensity than the electron stream flowing thereto from the next preceding cathode.
