ABSTRACT:
The cathode and tube of this invention comprise a secondary emission semiconductor cathode in a crossed-field high power amplifier. A gallium arsenide semiconductor doped with an impurity to make it more conductive than intrinsic gallium arsenide has been found to perform better than prior art secondary emission cathodes when it is incorporated as a cathode in a high-power crossed-field amplifier tube operating at high average and peak current. With a gallium arsenide cathode, the crossed-field amplifier tube exhibits a radio frequency output pulse which has fast rise time and much reduced leading-edge jitter relative to performance of the same cross-field amplifier tube having a conventional secondary emission cathode.
