MINIATURE AND SUBMINIATURE TUBE WARM-UP STUDIES,

Abstract

Increasing attention is being paid to the problem of rapid warm-up of the electronic hardware in guided missiles. At present, electron tube specifications afford no control on tube warm-up characteristics. Described in this paper, are the results of a series of experiments upon commonly used miniature and subminiature tubes, and some of the variables influencing warm-up time are separated and analyzed. A method of improving warm-up by short duration over-voltage pulsing of the heaters has been explored. Several approaches are suggested by which the missile design engineer may cope with a requirement for rapid warm-up. (Author)
