STUDY OF FAILURE MECHANISMS IN HIGH-POWER RADIO FREQUENCY GENERATING DEVICES.

Abstract

The aim of this investigation is to determine failure mechanisms caused by residual gases in traveling-wave tubes, and to find means of eliminating these gases in order to improve tube reliability. The study is a continuation of a program in progress for over a year. Correlation of gas spectra with electric characteristics during life test is shown. Gas sorption phenomena for a heater filament, a component that has proven to be a major source of gas, are presented. (Author)
