Abstract: To provide a magnetron capable of reducing noises in a low frequency band of 30 MHz or less without deteriorating the stability of a load depending on phases, and also ensuring the precision of assembly dimensions without increasing the number of components, a coiled filament 3 is arranged between an input-side end hat 61 and an output-side end hat 7 which are supported by a cathode supporting rod 8. A larger-diameter boss 61a in the end hat 61 extends to the interior of an interaction space, a smaller-diameter boss 61b and one end 3a of the filament 3 are secured to each other, and the other end 3b is secured to a boss 7a of the end hat 7. Here, the dimension of an axial free length part F which forms an electron emission part which is not secured to the end hats 61 and 7 of the filament 3 is set to 50% or more and 80% or less of the axial dimension H of plate-like vanes 2, and the electron emission part is arranged so as to be displaced to the output side.

Abstract: The magnetron includes: a cylindrical-shaped anode barrel member 10 having two openings respectively formed in the two end portions thereof; a cathode structure member 12 disposed on the center axis of the anode barrel member 10; more than one anode vane 11 disposed radially through an action space 13 in the periphery of the cathode structure member 12 and fixedly mounted on the inner wall surface of the anode barrel member 10; and, a pair of funnel-shaped pole pieces 14 and 30 respectively disposed in their associated ones of the two openings formed in the two end portions of the anode barrel member 10, each pole piece including a small-diameter flat portion FL1 having a penetration hole formed in the central portion thereof, a large-diameter flat portion FL2 having a diameter larger than the diameter of the small-diameter flat portion FL1, and a conical-shaped slanting portion SL for connecting the large-diameter flat portion FL2 and small-diameter flat portion FL1 to each other.

Abstract: In the magnetron, an upper end hat 122A is used as a composing element of a cathode structure member 12A and includes a portion 122Aa which is in contact with one end portion 121a of a filament coil 121. The thickness of the portion 122Aa is reduced, whereby the portion 122Aa is held not in contact with a center lead 124. Owing to this, heat generated in the filament coil 121 can travel to the upper end hat 122A without traveling directly to the center lead 124. Therefore, even when the quantity of input power is reduced to such a degree as to be able to reduce noise, or even when the electron radiation area of the filament coil 121 is reduced, the getter effect can be displayed fully. As a result of this, noise reduction and cost reduction can be realized at the same time.

Abstract: A magnetron includes an anode cylinder (1), a plurality of vanes (2) attached to the inside of the cylinder, a cylindrical metallic container (15), an output-side insulating tube (16), an antenna conductor (11), and a choke body (21). A hollow cylindrical metallic container (15) forms an airtight space at one end of the anode cylinder (1) and one end of a hollow output-side insulating tube (16) is airtightly connected to the container (15). An antenna conductor (11) electrically coupled with one of the vanes (2) extends through the cylindrical metallic container (15) and the output-side insulating tube (16). One end of a choke body (21) of a length of 1/4 wavelength of a harmonic to be suppressed is electrically coupled with the cylindrical metallic container (15), and its other end. The choke body is an annular groove type (21) or of a coaxial type (31).

Abstract: In an interaction space (4) defined between a cathode (3) and forward end portions of vanes (2), a permanent magnet (12) applies a uniform direct-current magnetic field along an axial direction of the cathode (3). Direct-current or low-frequency high voltage is applied between the cathode (3) and the respective vanes (2). Spaces (14) enclosed by respective pairs of adjacent vanes (2) and the inner wall of an anode cylinder (1) define cavity resonators. High-frequency electric fields formed in the cavity resonators are concentrated to the forward end portions of the vanes (2), and partially leak into the interaction space (4). Under such conditions, an electron group emitted from the cathode (3) rotates about the cathode (3) in the interaction space (4), thereby interaction takes place between the electron group and the high-frequency electric fields, to oscillate microwaves.
