ABSTRACT:
A vacuum tube for handling an r.f. signal having a predetermined frequency range comprises a cathode, a heater, and a non-electron emissive grid. The grid is positioned from the cathode by the distance an emitted electron from the cathode can travel in a quarter cycle of the r.f. signal. Outer and inner metal tubes forming a resonant line of a signal coupler are respectively connected to the grid and cathode. R.F. absorbers absorb r.f. fields in an interaction region between an anode and the grid. In one embodiment a coupling loop is between metal tubes at an end of the tubes spaced n.lambda./4 from the grid and cathode. In a second embodiment the coupler includes a coaxial line having an inner conductor connected to a first metal face, spaced from a second opposed metal face by a solid dielectric. An outer conductor is connected to a third metal face, spaced from a fourth opposed metal face by the dielectric. The third and fourth faces surround the first and second faces. The first and third faces are at ground potential while the second and fourth faces are at high negative DC voltages. The second and fourth faces are respectively at common ends of interior and exterior coaxial metal tubes forming a .lambda./2 coupler. Hollow inductive structures extend between the inner and outer metal tubes and at different locations along the tubes. Bias leads may be inserted into the inductive structures for shielding.
