Definitions

  • This invention relates to a resonator, particularly a cavity resonator, and a device comprisingv such a cavity resonator.
  • cavity resonator is to be understood here and hereinafter to mean an oscillatory circuit for ultra-short waves constituted as a cavity resonator in which a concentrated inductance and capacity are missing and the dimensions of which are hence of the order of magnitude .of the wavelength of the fundamental frequency (smallest natural frequency).
  • the said reso--V nators are among the non-quasi-stationary sys ems.
  • the wall of a cavity resonator constitutes a body closed on all sides except, asis well-known, for the apertures which have to be formed in the wall, for example for the wired electrical connection to the inside of the wall or for the introduc. tion of coupling loops.
  • devices for ultra-short waves in which use is made of a discharge tube which is provided with means for the generation of an electron beam and in which the electron beam passes through the bore of a cavityl constructed as a cavity resonator.
  • the apertures formed in the wall of the reso,r nator particularly if their dimensions are no longer small compared with the Wavelength, bring about considerable lowering of the quality of the cavity resonator.
  • the invention has for its object to provide means for limiting this loss in quality while conserving the accessibility of the aperture with a cavity resonator.
  • the path followed by a loss current emerging over the edge of the aperture has connected in series therewith a. secondary cavity resonator provided with a. bore and preferably constructed as a cavity resonator which has a natural frequency that corresponds with a natural frequency of the pri. mary resonator and which is so arranged that the aperture is in line with the bore.
  • the measure according to theinvention has the eil'ect of introducing a high resistance, that is the resonance resistance of'the 4secondary resonator, into the loss current path, with the result that the loss current is limited.
  • Fig. 1 is a known cavity resonator.
  • Fig. 2 shows a cavity resonator according to the invention having il-at secondary cavity resonator.
  • Fig. 3 shows a cavity resonator according to the invention comprising secondary cavity resonators each of which is constituted by two conis rotation-symmetrical with respect to the axis 2 vhas apertures 4, 4' formed in its .wall 3.
  • the edge of the' aperture 4 which edge is located in a potential antinode, will be at a high-frequency voltage relatively to the surroundings. Due to this, other parts of the external surface of the cavity resonator will also be at high-frequency voltage relatively to the surroundings and, since the outer wall, as denoted in the figure by l and 1', must be regarded as earthed by capacitative agency, a considerable loss current ensues.
  • This loss current which emerges over the edge 6 of the aperture, followsthe path shown in dotted lines in the ngure and is responsible for considerable lowering in quality of the cavity resonator.
  • this loss of quality is limited by the use of secondary cavity resonators, 8, 8' arranged in the manner shown in Fig. 2 so that the said loss current is con ducted via one of these secondary resonators.
  • the latter are bored at 4, 9 and 4', 9' so that the apertures 4 and 4' of the primary cavity resonator continue accessible.
  • the resonance resistance occurring between the ends 4 and 9 of the secondary cavity resonator 8 is thus inserted in the loss current.
  • the secondary cavity resonators must obviously be tuned to this higher natural frequency. According to circumstances, it may be advantageous to cause the fundamental frequency of the secondary cavity resonator to correspond nally with with a higher natural frequency of the primary cavity resonator since the required space is thus limited.
  • adjoining cavity resonators may in this case have a common wall part, as in Fig. 2.
  • the invention may be used with particularladvantage with devioesfor ultra-short wavesf ⁇ in which use is made ofA la discharge tube comprising means for generating an electron beam and the electron beam traverses the bore oi a cavity resonator, yeither for vthe/purpose of modulatingv the speed ofthe electron beainor to derive energy from the intensitymodulated beam.
  • the bore of the cavity resonator should be made comparativelyl large, it being so large that particularly with veryshortwaves the dimensions of the apertures. made in the cavity resonator are no longer, small compared with the operating wavelength, this e'ntailing great losses.
  • Fig. 4 shows such a device for generating ultrashort waves towhich the invention is applied
  • a discharge tube I4 has arranged in it on the one side an electrode system I5 for generating the electron beam4 and on the other a collector electrode I6.
  • the cavity resonator I'I serves for the velocity modulation of the electron beam. In the space intermediate the two cavity resonators this velocity modulation is converted into an intensity -modulation so that the cavity resonator I8 permits'ofderiving energy from the beam.
  • secondary cavity resonators I9, I9' and 20 serving solely for this purpose and conlstituted essentially, by two concentric, hollow conductors Whose interrupted internal conductors are aligned with the bores of the primary cavity resonators so that the electron beam can pass without any obstruction.
  • the secondary cavity resonator maybe arranged, as distinguished from the embodiment illustrated, entirely'outside the surrounding envelope of the discharge tube.
  • the cavity resonators I1 and I9 are not arranged in direct contact with each other but ata small distance and are interconnected by a metal tube piece 2I in order that it ,may bepossible for a concentration coil 22 to be arrangedin the spaceA thus obtained between the said cavity resonators.
  • the said radiation losses can be consequently does not constitute a bore or else one or more apertures not arranged at the area of apotential'antinode and also in ,the case of the primary cavity resonator having lfor example a4 concentrated capacity.
  • the secondary cavity resonator may have a.,concentratedA capacity and/or induotance in orderto'limitcthe. required space in so far as is permittedby the quality improvement aimed at of theprimaryhollow space resonator.
