Abstract:
A high frequency cathode heater supply for a microwave source includes a SMPS inverter (13) and an isolation transformer (12) having a primary winding (122) arranged to be powered by the SMPS inverter, a monitor winding (123) passing through primary core assemblies of the primary winding and a secondary winding (121) arranged for connection to the cathode heater (11). A current monitor (141) is arranged to monitor a current in the primary windings. Signal processing modules (14, 131, 132) are arranged to receive a first input signal from the monitor winding (123) indicative of a voltage Vh across the cathode heater (11) and a second input signal from the current monitor (141) indicative of a current through the cathode heater. The signal processing modules are arranged to output a control signal to the SMPS inverter to control power supplied to the cathode heater dependent on a monitored resistance of,or monitored power supplied to, the cathode heater as determined from the first input signal and the second input signal.
Abstract:
A cathode substrate 10 is heated to 400 to 600 °C in the atmosphere of hydrocarbon gas such as methane and the gas is allowed to react with the surface of the cathode substrate 10 by a thermal CVD method. Thus, an electron emission source in which graphite nano-fibers 11 are allowed to grow in a gaseous-phase on the surface of the cathode substrate 10 by using nickel or iron existing on the surface of the cathode substrate 10 as a nucleus is held between upper and lower end hats 12 to form a cathode part 13.
Abstract:
A magnetron 10 is equipped with a helical filament 39, as an element of a cathode assembly, arranged on a central axis of an anode cylindrical body 13. Assuming that a resistance value of the filament 39 before forming the carbonized layer is R1 and a resistance value of the filament 39 after forming the carbonized layer is R2, a thickness of the carbonized layer 42 of the filament 39 is determined such that a carbonization rate Rx defined by the equation "Rx = {(R2 - R1) /R1} × 100" in a range of from 30 to 50%.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to M-type microwave devices and is aimed to improve effectiveness of using a working surface of field-electron emitters, to improve their reliability while increasing stability of field emission and service life of the device. These objects are solved in the design of a M-type microwave device, comprising an anode encircling a cylindrical evacuated cavity and a cathode assembly disposed co-axially inside the anode, said cathode assembly comprising a cylindrical rod with its surfaces having elements in the form of planar (film) field-electron emitters and secondary-electron emitters that provide a primary and a secondary electron emission, respectively. In doing so, the normal to planar field-electron emitters is not parallel and makes therewith an angle of more than 0 degrees. An end-face of the field-electron emitter is protected by a tunnel-thin dielectric layer containing impurities of various materials and materials having a low work function.
