Norton, Belmont, Calif., assigner to Eitel-McCullough, Inc., San Bruno, Calif., a corporation of California Application February 25, 1950, Serial No. 146,288
(Cl. B-e5) 4 Claims.
My invention relates to an improved electron tube of the reflex klystron type.
It is among the objects of my invention to provide a tube ci the character described, so designed and constructed as to obtain compactness and maximum ruggedness.
Another object is to provide such a tube having terminals for the cathode and repeller electrodes arranged coaxially with the cylindrical envelope.
A further object includes the provision of a tube of simple construction in which the res onant cavity is made of disk-like flanges connected together and to the adjacent envelope sections with brazed joints.
A still further object is to provide an improved terminal and supporting structures for the cathode and repeller electrodes, wherein the supporting stems are readily assembled in the ends of the envelope and sealed in place by simple brazed joints.
The invention possesses other objects and features of advantage, some of which, with the foregoing, will be set forth in the following desoription of my invention. t is to be understood that I do not limit myself to this disclosure of species of my invention as i may adopt variant embodiments thereof within the scope of the claims.
Referring to the drawing:
The single figure is an axial sectional view of a tube embodying the improvements of my invention.
In terms oi broad inclusion my improved reflex oscillator tube comprises a generally cylindrcal metallic envelope, a circular resonant cavity interposed between the ends of the envelope, a cathode in the envelope adjacent one side of the cavity, a repeller electrode in the envelope adjacent the other side of the cavity, and coaxial terminals for the cathode and repeller electrode at opposite ends of the envelope. In the preferred structure the envelope com'- prises a pair of aligned tubular envelope sections and the interposed cavity is Vmade up of a pair of disk-like flanges metallically bonded together and to the adjacent envelope sections. The cathode and repeller electrodes and the coaxial terminals for the same are assembled on stem structures which are iitted in the ends of the envelope and sealed in place by metallically bonded joints.
In greater detail and referring to the drawing, my improved tube comprises a generally cylindrical metallic envelope .having a pair 'of aligned tubular envelope sections 2 and `3. Be-
tween these sections is interposed a circular resonant cavity Il formed by a pair of disk-like metallic flanges and 1 having aligned apertures disposed across the tube axis. These flanges are metallically bonded by a braze 8 along the peripheral edges, and the anges are likewise m'etallically bonded by brazes 9 at the inturned lips Il and I2 of the envelope sections. The latter joints lie intermediate the width of the flanges so that the circular cavity projects radially from the body of the tube envelope.
By this arrangement the flanges 6 and 1 act as diaphragms so that the dimensions of the cavity may be altered by compressing or extending the cavity walls for purposes of changing the resonant frequency of the cavity. Any suitable tuning means (not shown) connected to the envelope sections 2 and 3 and actuated by screws or the like may thus be provided for applying an axial force to the cavity for purposes of adjusting the operating frequency of the tube.
A. cathode I3 is mounted in the envelope adjacent one side of the cavity and a repeller electrode l@ is positioned in the envelope adjacent the opposite side of the cavity. In my tube improved electrode supporting stem structures are provided for the cathode and repeller, wherein the terminals il; and Il for these electrodes are coaxial with the tube axis. Considering iirst the cathode stem, it will be seen that the terminal I6 is tubular and projects into the end of envelope section 3. This terminal is surrounded by a metallic U-shaped sealing ring I8 tted in the enlarged end I9 of the envelope section so that the base of the ring seats against the oiiset lip 2l. A vitreous ring 22 such as glass is sealed between terminal I 5 and the inner flange of the sealing ring I8.
Cathode i3 is preferably of the oxide coated type and is preferably shaped as a dat button, although the surface of the cathode may be concave instead of flat depending upon the electron beaming characteristics desired. The cathode is supported on the stem structure by a sleeve 23 projecting from the reduced inner end of terminal i6, this sleeve being preferably of thin metal to thermally isolate the cathode.
An insulated heater coil 24 is mounted within the cathode assembly, connected at one end to the terminal I6 and at the other end to an inner terminal prong 26 concentric with the tubular terminal. The inner terminal is supported by a sleeve 21 brazed to and projecting downwardly within the tubular terminal. A vitreous bead 28 seals the inner terminal to the lower end of sleeve 21. Supporting connections for the heater coil are provided by suitable lugs 29 and 3I on the inner terminal adjacent the rim of the tubular terminal. A heat shield 32 projecting downwardly from the cathode and surrounding the heater coil im'- proves the heating efficiency of the cathode.
The electron gun assembly is completed by a focusing sleeve 33 extending upwardly from the terminal I6 about the cathode sleeve 23 and having a conical focusing portion projecting beyond the cathode I3. As in the case of the cathode button I3, the shape and dimensions of the focusing sleeve depends upon the electron beaming characteristics desired, as will be readily understood by those skilled in the art.
The entire cathode and electron gun assembly is thus supported on the cathode stem which is assembled as a unit and inserted into the end of envelope section 3. Since the parts are al1 coaxial with the envelope it will be seen that the inserted sealing` ring I8 functions to center the cathode and gun assembly axially of the envelope. Likewise the seating of the inserted sealing ring against lip 2| serves to establish proper spacing of the cathode with respect to other parts of the tube. A final vacuum-tight seal is m'ade by a metallic bond at braze 34 along the registering edges of ring I8 and the envelope section.
The supporting stem for the repeller electrode I4 is assembled in the opposite end of the envelope in a similar manner, namely, by means of a sealing ring 36 brazed in place at the peripheral braze 3l and connected to the tubular terminal I'I by vitreous bead 38. The disk-like repeller electrode I4 is supported on the inner end of terminal Il by a perforated conical bracket 39, which electi'ode is properly centered and spaced by the coaxial stem structure when the stem is inserted. Another feature at this end of the envelope is that the metal exhaust tubulation 4I is carried by the stem. The tubulation is secured to the inner end of terminal I'I and projects outwardly through the terminal. After evacuation of the envelope the tubulation is pinched off at tip 42.
A cavity grid 43 is mounted across the upper cavity aperture and a second cavity grid 44 is disposed across the lower cavity aperture, the latter grid being preferably mounted on a reentrant portion 46 of the cavity. An accelerator grid 41 is also preferably interposed between the cathode and cavity, which grid is preferably mounted directly on the cavity wall below the lower aperture. These several grids may be fabricated in any conventional manner as by parallel wires stretched across suitable mounting rings.
Energy is preferably coupled out of cavity 4 by a coaxial line 48 having an inner conductor 49 terminating at the coupling loop I This output line is located externally of the envelope and enters the cavity through flange 6, the line being supported by having its outer conductor bonded to flange S at braze 52. The inner conductor 49 is spaced from the outer conductor by a vitreous tube 53, and a vacuum tight seal is provided adjacent the outer end of the conductors by a glass bead 54 sealed between the inner conductor and a sealing sleeve 56 which forms an extension of the outer conductor.
