    Abstract: A system of measuring and correcting for distortions in homodyne systems and a method for operating a data processing system to provide an estimate of distortions in homodyne systems are disclosed. The method for operating a data processing system to provide an estimate of a distortion introduced by a homodyne system when the homodyne system processes a time a multi-tone time domain input signal, x(t), to obtain a time domain output signal, y(t) includes receiving a frequency spectrum, X(f), of the multi-tone time domain input signal, x(t) and measuring an output frequency spectrum, Y(f), when the homodyne system operates on x(t). A plurality of parameters of a model that represents a linear frequency response of the homodyne system when operating on X(f) to arrive at Y(f) by fitting the model to Y(f) and X(f) is determined, and the model is applied to X(f) and Y(f) to estimate the distortions.

    Abstract: An ionization gauge includes an anode having a rod shape, and a cathode including a cathode plate having a through hole through which the anode extends. A shape of the through hole on a section along an axial direction of the anode includes a concave portion sandwiched between two convex portions.

    Abstract: An ionisation vacuum gauge for measuring the residual pressure of a gaseous material remaining in a container (10), more particularly after operation of a vacuum pump comprises an electron-emitting cathode (31) made by exploiting the nanotube technology, a grid (13; 33; 133; 133′) for accelerating the electrons emitted by the cathode, and a plate (15; 35) collecting the ions and/or the ionised positive molecules of the gas. Measuring the plate current by a galvanometer allows for determining the value of the residual pressure inside the container.

    Abstract: A cold cathode gauge including a glow lamp or the like disposed within the vacuum space of the gauge for initiating the gauge discharge, the lamp emitting UV or blue light directly at at least the cathode of the gauge where the energy of the light is sufficient to release photoelectrons from the cathode to thus initiate the discharge. A member is also provided for removably positioning the glow lamp within the vacuum space whereby the lamp can be removed during bake out and then subsequent thereto, be inserted within the vacuum space to thus enhance longevity of the lamp.

    Abstract: A non-magnetic ionization gauge or ion pump comprising a tube containing spaced cathodes at the same potential, with an intermediately positioned ring anode for setting up an oscillating stream of electrons that is focused or constrained within an axial path by an electric quadrupole lens arrangement which may be excited by the RF force. The quadrupole lenses create a field which is tuned firstly to lengthen and stabilize the path of the electrons thus causing greater ionization of the gas atoms in the tube, and also to expel the ions produced thereby, which ions are then collected by a cylindrical collector screen at a slightly negative potential surrounding the whole electrode structure. The collector current produced with this arrangement has been found to be approximately inversely proportional to the pressure within the range from 10 5 to 10 10 torr, so that collector currents of the order of microamperes can be obtained at very low pressure levels.

    Abstract: Ion source for use in an ion pump or other apparatus, comprising a secondary-emissive cylinder accommodating a grid. A highfrequency voltage is applied between these two electrodes so that the transit time of the diametrically moving electrons is one whole period or a multiple thereof.
