Circumferentially Apertured Cylindrical Grid For Electron Tube

US Patent:
4295077, Oct 13, 1981
Filed:
Feb 14, 1980
Appl. No.:
6/121530
Inventors:
Don R. Carter - Lancaster PA
Claude E. Doner - New Providence PA
Fred G. Hammersand - East Petersburg PA
Joseph R. Tomcavage - Lancaster PA
Assignee:
RCA Corporation - New York NY
International Classification:
H01J 146, H01J 2110
US Classification:
313293
Abstract:
An improved high power electron tube has at least one grid electrode. The grid electrode is formed from a one piece cylindrical member, closed at one end, having an outside diameter, D. The cylindrical member has a plurality of arcuate, circumferentially elongated apertures extending therethrough. Each of the apertures has a length x and a width y wherein the length x is greater than width y, and wherein the length x is not greater than 0. 55 times the diameter, D, of the electrode. The width y, of each of the apertures is not greater than 0. 1 times the diameter D, of the electrode.

Electron Tube Having A Low Impedance Reduced Stress Anode Structure

US Patent:
4456851, Jun 26, 1984
Filed:
Mar 29, 1982
Appl. No.:
6/363298
Inventors:
Joseph R. Tomcavage - Lancaster PA
Assignee:
RCA Corporation - New York NY
International Classification:
H01J 188, H01J 1942
US Classification:
313250
Abstract:
An electron tube comprises an evacuated envelope including an anode forming a section of the envelope and a plurality of alternatively-disposed metallic and insulating annular members. The anode includes an anode ring having a plurality of slots formed therein to provide stress reduction. The anode ring is attached to one of the metallic members thereby providing a low impedance electrical interconnection therebetween.
