VACUUM TUBE RESEARCH PROJECT.

Abstract

During this period the activities were concentrated into four principal studies. The study of amplification and oscillation processes which might take place in radio astronomical systems and their comparison with microwave tubes led to numerous methods and theorems for testing allowable processes. The study of the effect of attenuators on saturation and efficiency in traveling wave tubes was continued. A program of study of various ideas for the possible removal of attenuators from traveling wave systems in order to produce higher efficiency amplifiers was carried forward. Analysis of the M-carcinotron was continued so that starting current analysis without slipping stream effects is complete and the slipping stream analysis is being completed.
