  • Patent number: 5894197
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for attenuating unwanted waves appearing in an electron tube which includes at least two coaxial cylindrical electrodes (2, 3). The electrodes (2, 3) contribute to forming the walls of a coaxial resonator. The unwanted waves to be attentuated generate surface currents in the walls of the coaxial resonator. The attenuation device includes several electrically conducting resistive elements (10) inserted into at least one wall of the resonator and arranged so as to cut the surface currents.

  • Patent number: 5854536
    Abstract: A resonant cavity (49) which facilitates coupling to another resonant cavity includes walls (40, 42) and an electrically conducting mast (43). One of the walls (40) has a coupling orifice (41) for coupling the resonant cavity (49) to another resonant cavity. The electrically conducting mast (43) projects from the second wall (42) opposite the first wall (40) and faces the coupling orifice (41). The electrically conducting mast (43) terminates with a hook-shaped portion (44) which contacts an edge of the coupling orifice (41). The resonant cavity (49) is suited for applications requiring secondary output cavities coupled to inductive output tubes.

  • Patent number: 5682084
    Abstract: An electron tube includes cylindrical electrodes which are mounted coaxially. The electrodes include a cathode surrounded by a grid, with the cathode and the grid defining an input resonant cavity having an active zone. The cavity extends on both sides of the active zone. The central part of the active zone is located at a point where the voltage reaches a maximum. The resonant input cavity is folded back on itself so that both ends of the cavity are at the base of the tube.

  • Patent number: 5666018
    Abstract: An electron tube cathode has a hollow cylindrical structure formed by thermo-emissive wires mounted between two conductive supports. The two supports are mechanically fixed to each other. To prevent the deformation of the cathode when the heating is turned on and turned off, at least one spring is used, this spring being integrated with one of the supports and being placed in the vicinity of the thermo-emissive wires. The spring is made of a material possessing elastic properties which, at ambient temperature, are lower than or equal to the properties that it has at a temperature greater than ambient temperature.
