FEASIBILITY STUDY OF POWER TRIDE.
Abstract
The relative merits of planar and cyclindrical triode geometries are discussed, tgether with the heat dissipation problem and required cathode area. Th salient features of both a planar and a cylindrical electrode tube design are presented. The functional purpse is stated for various parts and assemblies. Data relatang tube temperature dependence upon plate power input ad saturated plate current dependence upon temperature were obtained from a prototype triode with basket type wire mesh grid. The basket grid roved undesirable because of grid deformation tendencies. Planar power triodes with parallel wire grids were constructed which had plate family characteristics very near the objective. Obtaining a high level of cathode emission continues to be a problem.
