Low Thermal Stress Electrode.

Abstract

A collector for use in a travelling wave tube includes a central metallic core that has a peripheral ceramic insulator with the central metallic core having a plurality of circumferentially spaced primary slots extending inwardly from the periphery and an equal number of secondary slots extending perpendicular to the primary slots adjacent the periphery of the electrode. The primary slots define a plurality of fingers and the secondary slots act as hinges for the fingers.
