Definitions

  • the present invention relates to ultra high frequency apparatus utilizing the principles of velocity modulation and is considered useful in connection with high frequency oscillators, amplifiers, detectors, etc.
  • an important feature of the invention consists in an arrangement in which a stream of charged particles (e. g. electrons) is caused to traverse an elongated chamber which is of continuously conductive character and which is subdivided into a number of intercommunicating and mutually coupled sections each of which is individually resonant at a common frequency. It is shown herein that by properly correlating the velocity of the charged particles tothe longitudinal dimensions of the various chamber sections, useful high frequency energy conversion effects may be obtained by the mutual reaction of the charged particles and the structural elements of the chamber. For example, in accordance with one mode of use of the invention, the charged particles may be made to maintain the chamber in a condition of continuous resonant excitation such that it may be used as a fixed frequency oscillator for the generation of high frequency waves,

  • the tube part is of continuously conductive character, being preferably constituted of an assembly of copper or brass rings, and is characterized internally by a series of recurrent discontinuities.
  • these discontinuities comprise a number of perimetrically complete (e. g. annular) wall parts to 2! which efiectivel subdivide the main body of the tube into a series of identical sections.
  • These wall parts define between them a succession of gaps 3D to 33 which are successivel traversed by the stream of charged particles projected from the cathode 14. After traversing the gaps, the stream is collected by'a metallic end wall 35 which closes the extremity of the tube.

C. voltage source which is illustrated conventionally as a battery 36 and which also serves to bias th electrode I! to the desired potential.
  • the electron stream developed by the coaction of the various tube elements may, if desired, be maintained in focused condition by the provision of a direct current excited magnetic focusing coil 31.
  • the part 20 may be viewed in two aspects. In the first it comprises a series of electrode elements for influencing the electron stream traversing it. In the second it may be considered as a unitary resonant system adapted to be maintained in continuous oscillation by the reaction of the electron stream.

  • the circumstances of operation are such as to cause the gradients existing in the various gaps tobe of similar magnitude and to have a common direction at any given time. (It will be pointed out at a later point that this represents only one of several equally possible modes of operation.)
  • the electron stream traversing the various gaps necessarily undergoes some degree of velocity modulation.
  • modulation is most pronounced if the electron transit time between corresponding points in two adjacent gaps corresponds at least approximately to an integral number of complete cycles of potential variation at the operating frequency of the apparatus.
  • 0b represents the part of a cycle (one complete cycle being equal to 360 degrees) which is required for the transit of an electron from a given point in one gap to a corresponding point in the next succeeding gap.

  • Fig. 1 may be regarded as a modified form of resonant wave guide, analogous to'the wave-guiding systems described by G. C. Southworth at Journal for April 1936. 'In the publication referred to it is pointed out that a continuous conductive tube filled with a dielectric medium may be used for the guided propagation of high frequency electromagnetic waves in spite of the apparent absence of a conductive return cir-, cult of the character usually regarded as necessary to any channelized fiow of electrical energy.
  • the waves which may be propagated in this way include, among others, waves having electric force components which are-confined to the axial and radial directions and ;magnetic force components which are wholly azimuthal; such wavesbeing arbitrarily designated as -Eowaves.

  • the diameter of the' tube is diminished at periodically spaced regions. 46 to 43, for examplaby inward deformation of the tube wall. Due to the relationship .of the magnetic and electric force components in E0 waves, asdefined above, the volume afiected by the proposed change is that in which magnetic energy storage is predominant. Consequentl'y, the change reduces the inductance of the system without correspondingly varying its capacitance and thus tends .to raise the resonant frequency of the structure of a Whole.
  • the diameter of the remaining p01- tions of the tube may be increased as indicated at 49', 56, and 52 so as to provide added volume for magnetic energy storage; With'this change the wave guide ought to function essentially as it did inits original condition in so far asresonant operation is concerned.
  • a resonant structure such as, that shown in Fig, 1 and having an even number of gaps may be expected to resonate not only under such circumstances that the potential gradients inthe various gaps are at any-given time unidirectional (as above explained), but alsoin an alternative condition such that the gradients in alternate gaps are oppositely directed.
