  • the main parts 8" of the two fins placed at the two ends of the core are arranged so that the surfaces may face each other at a certain distance as shown in the figure.
  • the main surface of the core 3 has a width sufficient to incorporate said magnetic field generator 7 placed thereon.
  • the temperature difference between the circumferential part of the center hole 4 of the core 3 and the outer end part of the core 3 is smaller than about 50 C. in view of the relation between the outer ambient temperature in usage and the maximum allowed temperature of the anode of the magnetron l.
