Definitions

  • This invention relates to circuit arrangements for producing, amplifying or modulating electrical waves of a length of the order of some decimetres or less, comprising an electric discharge tube in which the electron beam is deflected by interaction with a travelling wave.
  • the invention furthermore relates to a tube for use in such a circuit arrangement.
  • a pencil-shaped electron beam is deflected by interaction with two or more spiral-shaped conductors, between which the electron beam moves, or an electron beam moving along the surface of a circular cylinder is deflected between a spiral-shaped conductor and a conductive cylinder.
  • Such electron beams can only carry a small current if no additional steps are taken to avoid stray of the beam.
  • the electron beam in a device for producing, amplifying or modulating waves of a length of the order of some few decimetres or less, in which an electron beam is deflected by interaction with a travelling wave, the electron beam is a flat, disc-shaped beam which emanates from a cylindrical cathode which, if desired, is surrounded by one or more grids, whilst the deflection electrodes along which the travelling wave moves are constituted by two flat spirals surrounding the first-mentioned electrode system or by a single flat spiral provided opposite a flat conductive plate.
  • electrode is preferably shaped in this form, the
  • Fig. 1 is a sectional view of the tube at right angles to the axis of the electrode system takenv along the line l-l of Fig. 2 and Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view, partially in 2 elevation, through the axis of the tube taken along the line Hl I of Fig. 1.
  • reference numeral I designates the glass envelope of the tube, in the axis of which a cylindrical incandescent cathode 2 of 5 mms. diameter is provided.
  • the incandescent cathode 2 is surrounded by a control-grid 3 and a screen-grid 4, each of which is constituted by eight rods joined at the upper and lower ends by means of rings.
  • the deflection electrodes consist of two strips 5 wound to form a logarithmic spiral and secured in two mica plates 1 with the use of short supporting rods.
  • the anode system is made of two narrow strips 6, behind which a screen electrode 8 is provided. The two strips 5 and the strips 6 are separately brought out through the tube envelope I.
  • An electron discharge tube of the traveling wave type comprising a cylindrical cathode source of electrons, a control grid located in the path of the electrons and surrounding said cathode, electron collecting means surrounding said cathode source'and control grid and spaced from said control grid, and a deflecting electrode system interposed between said control grid and said collecting means, said deflecting system comprising a planar traveling wave electrode interposed between said control grid and said collecting means and having a spiral section transverse to the axis of the cathode source and a second planar electrode interposed between said control grid and said collecting means and arranged substantially parallel to said first planar electrode and spaced therefrom.
