Definitions

  • This invention relates to improvements in magnetrons for generating or sustaining electrical oscillations of very high frequency of the order of centimeters for example.
  • the invention has particularly for its object improved anodes permitting oscillations of higher frequency than in the case of conventional anodes, for given dimensions, and for given values of the magnetic field and of the applied voltages.
  • these same anodes make it possible, for given frequencies, to construct magnetrons of larger dimensions operating with a lower magnetic field or a lower applied potential, i. e. to provide higher powers and to increase the stability and the output.
  • these new anodes of magnetrons for ultra-short waves are formed essentially by a single metal cylinder in which slots or openings are provided, the slots having such shape and dimensions that the conducting parts which remain and form part of open or closed circuits can be in a state of resonance at the wavelength which is sustained by the tube.
  • FIG. 1 is a transverse section of an electron discharge device made according to my invention
  • Figure 2 is a longitudinal section of the tube shown in Figure 1
  • Figures 3, 4 and 5 are longitudinal sections of modifications of electron discharge devices made according to my invention
  • Figtires 6 and 7 show antenna coupling arrangements which can be used with a tube made according to my invention.
  • Figures 1 and 2 represent respectively a transverse and longitudinal cross section of a tube made according to my invention and having an anode composed of a series of plates B arranged in the generating line of an interrupted cylinder C with the axis 00. At the one of their ends, the plates B (numbering 6 in the figure and in the form of segments) are connected by a plate disc A having a central opening serving for admission of the cathode K arranged in the axis 00.
  • the end disc A may be a full disc or a slot shown at 1 may be cut therein.
  • the direct plate potential +V is applied by means of lead-in E.
  • the electrode assembly is enclosed in a bulb E suitably evacuated and the electrode assembly is subjected to the action of a magnetic field H produced by coil M and the lines of force of which are directed parallel to the axis 00.
  • Figure 3 shows a twin assembly composed of the anodes AB and A"B which are identical to the preceding ones and are connected'to each other symmetrically at the end plates A'-A..
  • connection EE which may be arranged inside the envelope and with the lead brought out in its center F.
  • Figure 5 represents a squirrel cage anode such as that of Figure '4 but in which the plates B are furthermore connected to each other at intermediate points by means of circular rings G.
  • the two end plates AA could also be omitted.
  • the feeding can be carried out across Eli" and F or across the intermediate rings.
  • the coupling of the magnetron with the antenna could in all cases be made in any desired manner, for instance by leading around the anode one or several turns Sp of the antenna Ae' proper or of the feeder feeding the antenna. Such an arrangement is shown in Figure 6.
  • An electron discharge device having an envelope containing a straight thermionic cathode, an anode surrounding said cathode and comprising a plurality of parallel segments, a disc at one end of said segments and electrically connecting the adjacent ends of all of said segments together and provided with an aperture through which said cathode extends, said segments being the only segments surrounding the cathode along their axial length, and means for inducing a magnetic field between said cathode and anode and parallel to said cathode,
