  • Electron-Coupled Transformer
    Publication number: 20130265130
    Abstract: An Electron-coupled transformer for generating a high voltage output pulse as an amplified version of an input pulse comprises a cylindrical triode electron tube with a central anode along main axis and a grid and cathode radially spaced from the anode. The anode has a first end connected to ground and a second end insulated with respect to said ground. The cathode and the grid form a traveling wave electron gun that produces a wave of ground potential in the Transverse Electric Mode, which causes electrons stored in the cathode-grid gap to be extracted from said gap. The extracted electrons form a radially symmetric collapsing traveling wave that sweeps as a wave along the anode at the speed of light, causing a voltage output pulse on the second end of the anode whose magnitude is an amplified version of an input pulse applied to the cathode.
