300 MILLIWATT X-BAND TRIODE OSCILLATOR.

Abstract

Fifty Y-1613-E triodes were constructed for evaluation at X-Band. These Y-1613-E triodes have a heavier anode seal than the previously constructed triodes, and two versions were built: one version having grids with an interlaced support wire, and the other with support bar grids. A method for minimizing early life power output decay is described. Curves are given showing anode seal temperature versus anode dissipation. Performance curves show the difference in tuning range, with a representative sample of triodes, between a slot-coupled cavity oscillator and a similar unit using capacitive probe output coupling. The problems encountered in the slot-coupled version are discussed, and the reasons given for changing to a circuit using capacitive probe output coupling. Sketches of both types are included. Final life test results on the previously reported triode cavity oscillator are shown. (Author)
