' pagnie' Generalede Telegraphic sans -Fil; -acorporation-ofalliance" T l I 'Application!)ctoberl1, 1949,;seriaiis6. 412M111] InFrance'October 13, I948- Myinvention relates-'to-electron beam tubes and covers an electron optical system adapted to be applied-to the cathode of such tubes.
It is an object of this invention to provide an improved electron optical system- 'for an electron beam tube.
A further object is to provide a cathode-system capable of producinga large emission current which can be adjusted by contrdllingthe current through the cathode.
These and other objects of the invention will be apparent from the following desz'zri-ption, the appended claims, and the drawings, in which Figs. 1 and 2-show conventional electronbeam tubes o'fthe travelling-wave type;
3 shows-the distribution of the electric field of the cathode structure-shown in Fig.- '2 under certain operating. conditions; and
Figs; 4 through ds'how three-embodiments of my improved electron-optical system.
The drawbacks of the knowncathodes-will be explained with reference-to Figs 1- and 2 which illustrateknown electron beam tubes belonging to-the-class o'ftravelling-wave'tubes with a transverse magnetic field, to-which rev-invention can be advantageously although notexclusively applied. I
In Figs. 1 and "2', a travelling-wave tube; cntained in a straight casing V, comprises in' a known manner a helical-shapedretardation line H with its :input atE- and its output at S, a cathode C, an electrode z' whi'ch is located onposite the retardation line and which is raised to a suitable potential for =producing an electric field between Z and 'I-Land a-collector K raised to a positive potential. The whole arrangement is placed in a. transverse magnetic field- B- set up by a suitablecoil andcore. i r
The cathodes used in these tubes may beeith'er flat-shaped oxide cathodes, orfilament-sh'aped cathodesmade of metal such as tungsten'or tantalum. They areusually raised to a potential that corresponds :to the distribution of same 'in the region between H and Z in which they :are located, so as not to disturb the shapeof. the static linesof-lorce. w
Fig. 1 shows. for example .anoxid'e icathodelocated at the level of the electrode Zand'raised to the same potential as said electrodeza Fig. '2 also shows bywayof example a metal cathode which islocatedinthe space "between-Z- and H andis raised-to an intermediate potential between thesetwo electrodes according to' the potential drop up *to the region occupied by the t e. E. ;.3
items. (01. 315-29) Inthefirst "case '(oXide'cathode) "the emission current cannot" be" adjusted*by-acting on the heating; and furthermore such cathodes "cannot be used if'th e anode'voltag'e-is higher than a certain "maximumflvalue; in the second-case '(meta'l cathodes) the 'eniitting area is small and the emission current is limitedby -the1-space charge. The emission could beincrea'sedby deforming the electric field "around" the cathode in such a' manner "thata greater portion -01? the lines OffOl'CE'flI'B"diIB'Otea"t0WE1JIfdS the cathode fin which" case the increased "field density ad jacen't'the cathode would prevent the formation of a space charge) "for example by placing 'the cathode "as in-Fig; 2 but raising/it to a lower potential than" that'whichcorresponds to its position in'thefield"betweeni-I andZ; Fig. 3 shows the distribution-of the 'electric' held in the case in which the" cathode is" placed as in Fig. 2 but is "raised to' the same potential as the elect-rodeZ. 1 V
However; "this -'arrangerrrentdras-the effect "of influencing" the shapetor-thestati-c clraracteristic of the tube, that shows the-currentin-the helix as a function of the field B, since in this case said current gradually "decreases as 13' increases instead of suddenly 'droppingto zero-whenacertain critical value BC" is "exceededasis' required for the efiicicncy of-the tribe.- 1
These 'diificulties are *obviate'd'by my invention which enables a cathode to be constructed that combines "the advantages -oi t-he fiat oxideoathode internal emission *andgood static char-' acteristic) with-those ofth'e-meta-l cathode( emission, that can be adjusted by-means of the heating and nozlimitation ofthe value of' 'the' anode voltage). m
According to the'invention'fwith "a cathode-of cylindrical shape is associated anelectron optical system comprising a} likewise cylindrical anode that "surrounds the -cathode," and a -merhber adapted to connect the field distributionround the cathode tothe field distribution betwee'n'the retardation line and the electrode which islocated'opposite said line; V
The invention will be more "clearly=understood by referring to 'Figs. l-to '6 which 'showrbywa'y of example n'onlimitatitle embodimentsi thereof.
According to Fig.'i4;in which thesame elements as in Figs. 1 and 2 arexde'signated "by thezsame reference letters, an electron. beamiubelsfor example of the travelling-wave type.;with.a transverse magnetic field andiofzstraightistructm'e, is provided with a cylindricalzl-cathodefi iwhichcis located at the level of thecelectmderzihnd which space the beam is adapted to pass. Byjmeans of this arrangement an intense field is produced ad-- a jacent the cathode, without disturbingthe ho.-.
mogeneous distribution of the field in all directions as in Fig. 3, since it can be seen that within the limits of the sector ab almost all the lines of force e extend radially up to the cathode, so that the density of the field adjacent the cathode surface is high, whereby the magnitude of the" space charge is decreased and the cathode current is increased. On the other hand, the homogeneity of the fieldin almost all directions enables a good static characteristic to be obtained. .It is therefore possible to use a metal cathode'and take advantage of its inherent advantages, to which are furthermore added the advantages which were heretofore possessed'only byoxide cathodes] I But .it is .als'o poss'ible to apply the invention in the case in which. an'oxide cathode is used, which may advantageously be made of cylindrical shape which is' easier to fit when mounting the electrodes than a flat cathode and which moreover is the only shape that gives satisfactory results as regards manufacturing technology in the case of a thorium oxide cathode.
The radius DA of the circular portion is determined by taking into account that the electrons do not touch the anode, such radius being variable and a function. of the magnetic field applied, of the anode voltage and of the distance DH, between the electrodes Z and H, at which the member A is connected to'the point e. The length he should preferably be equal to several times the distance DH. v a
Fig. 5 shows the application of the arrangementsofjig. 4 to 'a travelling-wave tube with a transverse magnetic fieldjand of circular structure. It does not require further explanations since the reference letters' are the same as in Fig. 4.
Fig. 6 shows the application of the principles of the invention to the case in which the cathode is raised to an intermediate potential between Z and H and isarranged as in Fig. 2. In this case, at the levelof the cathode C is placed an auxiliary electrode C raised to the same potential as C, the member A surrounding the cathode as in Fig. 4, and the dimensioning rules being applied with respect to theelectrode C as they were previously with respect to the electrode Z. In other respects, the figure does not require-further explanations, since the reference letters are the same as in Fig.4. v
The invention is not restricted to the examples which have been described and illustrated, but on the contrarymay-be subjected to any modificationithat may be within the scope of the expert, without changing its principle. Thus, for example, it is notnecessary for the cathode to be a linear filament; .It' is'also possible to use a wound filament,-particular1y 'wheniit is desired to have a cathode of' large. area. In that 'case, account must be takenof'thediameter .of the cathode in dimensioningthe system. I
The application of the invention to travellingwave tubes with a transverse magnetic field has only been described by way of a non-limitative example and it is to be understood that the invention can also be applied to travelling-wave tubes without a transverse field, and more generally to any electron beam tube in which it is required to direct in a desired manner a beam emitted by a cylindrical cathode.
