BL-223A C-BAND MAGNETRON

Abstract

The 400 watt type cathode assembly was modified to the 1000 watt type assembly in increasing the oxide dispenser cathode length 0.025 in. The height of the anode was increased 0.25 in. and the anode bore-out or interation space was increased 0.004 in. in diameter. The cathode pole piece was shortened 0.025 in. and moved back from the anode by the same amount to maintain the same anode to pole piece spacing. Increasing the tube power output from 400 watts to 1000 watts necessitated in increasing magnetic flux density. The tube shield was redesigned from a round type to a square type. The tube weight was increased from 6 to 8 ounces. Tests show that the preliminary sample tubes conform to the electrical and thermal specifications. (Author)
