Title: Magnetron
Inventor: Mauro Mineo
IPC: H01J25/587
Filed: 2020-11-26
Abstract: An anode 301 for a magnetron 300 comprises a cylindrical shell 303 for accommodating a cathode 302 of the magnetron, and a plurality of vanes 304a, 304b arranged at angular intervals around the shell. A plurality of annular anode strap rings (313a-f) is provided for setting a resonant mode spectrum of the cavity resonator, wherein alternate strap rings are supported by alternate vanes. The invention is characterised in that the cross-sectional dimensions or radius of the different strap rings, or the intervals between pairs of adjacent strap rings, may be different to each other. By providing anode straps with different dimensions distributed along the length of the vanes, the RF field produced across the vanes of the anode may be more uniformly distributed across the length of the anode vanes. This may improve the effectiveness of the electrodynamic interaction process and reduces the risk of localised heating occurring along the vanes, thus improving stability and power handling capabilities of the magnetron.
