Lsnaa Patented Aug. 28, 1951 TUBE OF THE MAGNETRON TYPE FOR ULTRA-SHORT WAVES Alfred Lerbs, Paris, France, assignor to Compagnie Generale de Telegraphic Sans Fil, a corporation of France Application April 24, 1948, Serial No. 23,063
In France June 13, 1947 3 Claims. (Cl. 315-39) This invention relates to electronic tubes of the type generally disclosed by Dohler, Kleen and Huber in their application Serial No. 794,164 filed December 27, 1947, and now Patent No. 2,511,407, and which are intended for the transmission of ultrav short waves and operating by an exchange of energy between an electro-magnetic wave cir culating in the interior of the tube and the electrons which are propelled by a circular movement, the invention being more particularly applicable to magnetrons and like tubes using a magnetic field which is at right angles to the electric field accelerating the electrons.
The latter tubes have such a shape that the electro-magnetic wave circulates therein with a decelerated speed and having more particularly a phase velocity equal to that of the electrons so that a multiple interaction takes place between the wave and the electrons.
Hitherto magnetrons have been used exclusively for the generation of oscillations and their easy self-starting has prevented them from being used for other purposes and more particularly as amplifiers. In magnetrons with split anode the anode members may be considered as elementary self-inductances and capacities causing a certain retardation of the wave circulating therein, which wave is the result of the interaction of the magnetic and electric fields created in the tube.
The electronic flux moves around a cathode having generally a circular section. The selfexcitation of these tubes is more particularly due to .two phenomena; the wave traverses the same circular anode circuit several times; the same electron effect several complete revolutions and thus exchanges energy several times with the same field. These phenomena can be compared to a retroactive coupling resulting in self-excitation of the tube which becomes unstable and is useless as regards amplification.
The object of the invention is to provide a new mode of producing magnetrons and like tubes in which this self-starting is avoided and which are consequently suitable for amplification and other associated operations, such as detection, etc. requiring stable operation.
According to the invention the tube is provided in addition to the usual output circuit with coupling means which enables incident oscillations which are to be amplified, detected, etc. to be applied thereto, these two circuits being clearly separated from one another and the tube being dimensioned in such a manner that the wave circulating therein, fed by the incoming signal is so decelerated that its speed of propagation becomes equal to that of the circulation or the electrons. In this way the exchange of energy between them is greatly increased and one obtains an increased output and good efliciency. On the other hand the tube referred to is very easily self-started and in order to avoid this means are provided such that the electrons after they have exchanged the energy with the circulating wave during a single complete cycle no longer return to the input circuit.
According to a modification use is made of a screen of conducting material arranged between the input and output circuit.
According to another modification the effect of the screen is obtained by a repulsive electric field. The decoupling of the input and output circuits is accentuated by the interruption of the trajectory of propagation of the electro-magnetic wave.
The invention is more particularly described with reference to the accompanying drawings illustrating it by way of example only without limiting it thereto, and wherein:
Figure l is a view largely diagrammatic illustrating a magnetron the anode A of which comprises a number of gaps terminating in cavity resonators C1, C2, C: etc.
Figure 2 is a similar view showing a modification of the coupling with the outer circuit;
Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view of a com-, plete magnetron embodied in accordance with the invention;
Figure 4 is a sectional view along line bb' of Figure 3;
Figure 5 is a further sectional view along line cut of Figure 3; and
Figure 6 is a view similar to Figure 1 showin how feed-back is prevented by a repulsive field.
As shown in Figure l, the cavity resonators are uniformly distributed over the larger part of the periphery of the anode; the part between A1 and A2 is not recessed. The incident oscillations are introduced by any suitable means such as the loop E in one of the cavities, namely C1. The energy is taken off by the loop S inserted in another cavity. The magnetic field is applied in a direction B, determined by the mutual position of the inlet and outlet terminals and a continuous potential is applied between the cathode K and the anode imparting to the latter a positive potential and creating the radial field of the acceleration of the electrons. Under the action of these two fields the electrons are displaced along .a trajectory shown by the circular arrow F. The signal applied at E produces an electromagnetic tion and by suitably dimensioning the tube the speed can be made substantially equal to that of the electrons. The speed of the electrons is tion:
V=E1/B E1 being the radial electric field and B the ma'gnetic field.
On the other hand one could consider the circular space between the anode and the cathode as a succession of coupled circuits such as the one shown in dotted lines to which one could apply the theory of transmission lines; in these circumstances the phase velocity Vp of the wave circulating therein would be:
In this formula Z is the linear extension of "an elementary quadripole of this line along the periphery of the anode, L is the series selfinductance and C the transverse capacity of the elementary quadripole such as illustrated in dotted lines. For determining these values the couplings between the elementary circuits have also to be borne in mind. In order to increase the power of the tube and its efiiciency one should ensure that augmented interaction takes place between the electrons and the wave and for this purpose make V and V1) equal to one another.
A tube as above described has the very pronounced tendency to start on its own initiation and'for this reason would not'be suitable'for amplification.
The self-starting is prevented by suppressing feed-back between the input and output circuits and more particularly by stopping the electrons and also the wave after they have traversed a complete cycle. For this purpose a break of the transmission is provided in the region between the dotted lines M1 and M. In this figure the break is ensured by means of a screen of conducting material P'P to which a suitable potential is preferably applied with respect to the cathode and more particularly a positive potential with respect thereto by connecting it for example to the body of the anode. On the other hand the circuit of the wave is interrupted by dispensing with "the cavity resonators between A1 and A modification is shown in Figure 2 in which the coupling with the outer circuits is more suitable for adaptation to the conditions of these circuits, being more particularly suitable for connection to an aerial.
The incoming and outgoing waves are sent through rectangular guides GE and Gs connected to the resonant cavities -by guiding sections of the wave length M4 intended for the transformation of the voltage.
Referring to Figures 3, '4 and 5, a metallic envelope T contains a cathode K, ananodeA, and :ascreen :P, these electrodes being-provided Owing 1 given by the equa- I in serpentine.
with input and output passages E, O, P, K. The magnetic poles N and S, seen in Figure 5, furnish the magnetic field. In order to increase the interaction efiiciency between the retarded wave and the electrons, it is of interest to increase the number of anodic slots 0. Such an arrangement is equivalent to the increase of the number of coupled circuits and thus there is assured a wider pass-band. The section of Figure 4 shows a fragmentary View of the anode and shows that the anodic elements are arranged The arrows F-F indicate the sense of rotation of the electrons, and the arrow 13 indicates the direction of magnetic field.
Finally in the arrangement according to Figure 6 the feed-back is prevented by the creation of a repulsive field between the inlet and outlet circuits by means of an auxiliary electrode U to which a suitable potential is applied relatively to the cathode.
Although the tubes hereinbefore described show certain similarities with themagnetroh they differ therefrom in various important respect's. They are provided with an outlet electr'ode and withan inlet electrode betweenwhich means are provided which prevent the retroaction. They are so dimensioned that the incoming signal produces an electro-magnetic wave which is displaced at the same speed as the electrons; the magnetic field directed towards the cathode has to-be constant and have at the same time a definite polarity, whereas in the case of magnetrons its inversion does not infiu'ence their operation. Finally the arrangement of their electrodes cannot be circular and in certain cases the cathode can even be out of axial alignment with respect to the anode.
