Definitions

  • a pulse multiplex system requires a device which produces a series, in point of time, of mutually independent current pulses in a single out-going line, the magnitudes of the several current pulses of cyclically repeated groups being controlled by the modulation of the individual messages to be transmitted.
  • cathode ray switches are suitable for this purpose, the cathode ray periodically scanning the control devices of the different message channels. It is necessary, in this connection, that the changes in the control voltages of the several message channels produce the greatest possible change in the intensity of the electron beam as it moves in succession to the collector electrodes of the different message channels, or, in other words, that the control sensitivity dip dU.
  • each message channel requires at least two electrodes, 1. e. a control electrode and a collecting electrode, the collecting electrodes of all. the channels generally being connected to a common out-going line.
  • a cathode ray of current strength it produces a current is to the collecting electrode, its magnitude being dependent on the secondary control voltage Us in addition to being dependent on the initial beam intensity to, and
  • the simplest control of the intensity of the cathode ray striking a collector electrode is obtained by deflecting the ray with respect to a diaphragm or apertured baille by electrical or magnetic fields transverse to the direction of travel of the electrons, thereby trapping more or less ofthe electrons upon the baffle to prevent theirimpact upon the collecting electrode.
  • the control sensitivity of an arrangement of this kind amounts to about 1.33-10- amperes per volt. This relatively favorable control sensitivity is produced however by an electrode system very extensive in space; and a single cathode raytube for a communication system with twenty or more message channels would be too large to be practical.
  • Another method of sensitivity control permits the entire electron ray to reach the collector electrode through an apertur in a control electrodeadiacent the electron gun side of the. collector electrode, and regulates the effective output current by controlling the secondary electron current liberated by impact of the electron' ray upon the collector electrode;
  • the secondary electrons released from the primary current on the collector electrode travel to the controlelec:
  • The-control sensitivity of this arrangement hasgga magnitude. of, 5. 07 1 amperes. .per
  • the control of the cathode ray intensity at the collector electrode is efiected by a retarding electrical field along the cathode ray path, the retarding field having the characteristics of a so-called potential saddle. If a plane is passed through the axis of the oathode ray, and a plot of potentials at points along the axis develops a curve which drops to a point at or adjacent the axis and then rises, i. e. is saddle shaped, the electrical field is said to be of the potential saddle type.
  • This retarding field is not open to the objection of the homogeneous retarding field of the previously described control method which required a change in the potential of the collector electrode.
  • the potential saddle is developed in front of the collector electrode (upon which a constant energizing potential is maintained) by an auxiliary electrode or electrodes which are outside the path of the electron ray and take the form of the diaphragms with circular or rectangular openings.
  • the point of minimum potential along the cathode ray axis is termed the saddle point" and, when the saddle point potential is approximately equal to the cathode potential, some of the electrons which approach the saddle point at high speed may pass beyond to reach the collector electrode.
  • the number of electrons which arrive at the collector electrode varies with the saddle point potential and a mathematical analysis indicates that the control sensitivity for electrons at the axis of the ray, i. e. for a cathode ray of infinitesimally small crosssection, is of the high order of 0- amperes per volt which is obtained with the homogeneous opposed field method.
  • the invention relates to a cathode ray tube in which a secondary intensity control of cathode rays is obtained by changing the potential of the saddle point of the electrical ontrol field between an accelerating electrode and a collector electrode and, more specifically, to a cathode ray tube with at least one control system comprising a retarding electrode and a control electrode arranged between the accelerating electrode and the collector electrode.
  • Objects of the invention are to provide cathode ray tubes which afford a secondary intensity control of high sensitivity with control electrode systems of small dimensions which are well adapted for incorporation in cathode ray switches for use in multiplex communication systems.
  • Objects are to provide cathode ray tubes and cathode ray switches for use in multiplex communication systems in which a secondary intensity control is efiected by a retarding electrical field of the potential saddle type.
  • An object is to provide a cathode ray tube or cathode ray switch in which a secondary intensity control is obtained, and without altering the energizing potential impressed upon a collector electrode or collector electrodes, by a control system including an apertured retarding electrode and an apertured control electrode between an accelerating electrode and the collector electrode.

  • a cathode K and electron gun G develop a cathode ray R which may be directed in the plane YZ by deflecting electrodes or plates P to pass centrally through the opening of an accelerating electrode A which has a high positive potential, the potential of the cathode K being zero.
  • the electron path beyond the electrode A is through a slotted retarding electrode B and a slotted control electrode S to the collector electrode F.
  • the retarding electrode B has a fixed negative potential such that the electrons reach the neighborhood of the control electrode S in greatly retarded condition, and the number of electrons which can pass through the control electrode to reach the collector electrode F depends upon the instantaneous magnitude of the negative potential impressed upon the control electrode.
  • a constant positive potential is impressed upon the collector electrode, but its magnitude is small in comparison with that applied to the accelerating electrode A.
  • the four electrodes are drawn to a scale which is greatly enlarged with respect to the spacing of the collector electrode from the cathode K, and that a plurality of similar sets of four electrodes will be included in a tube which functions as a cathode ray switch in a multiplex communication system.

  • Fig. l the potential distribution in the electrical field which determines the intensity of the cathode ray at the collecting electrode F is plotted with respect to the plane YZ and appears. as a saddle-shaped surface PS.
  • the potential distribution between the cathode K and acc lerating electrode A does not affect the secondary intensity control and therefore only the potential saddle surface PS between electrodes A and F! is illustrated.
  • the saddle point T is located as nearl as possible in the plane of the control electrode S by a suitable choice of the electrode spacings, the slot dimensions and the electrode potentials.
  • the variation of potential Uz of the field in the plane YZ passing through the saddle point T is shown in Fig. 2, and the hatched portion beneath the curve Uz, which portion indicates the field between the control electrode S and collecting electrode F which has a positive potential with respect to the cathode potential, is shown in a greatly enlarged scale in Fig. 2a.

  • the zero point of the Z axis in Figs. 2 and 2a is at the collector electrode F.
  • the retarding electrode B serves for greatly retarding the electrons in front of the control electrode S and thus to control the electrons in the neighborhood of the control electrode S by a flat potential saddle, whereby a satisfactory control sensitivity of the order of at least 0.5-- amperes per volt can be obtained.
  • this control sensitivity it has been demonstrated to be especially advantageous to focus the cathode ray at least approximately at the saddle point T by already known means such as electron lenses.
  • FIG. 4 A typical example of appropriate dimensions for a control electrode system embodying the invention and conforming to potential saddle surface PS is shown in Fig. 4.
