Magnetrons

摘要

A magnetron includes a decoupling plate located between the end hat of the magnetron cathode and an output coupling member. The use of the decoupling plate presents a high impedance and gives a resonant circuit which is arranged to be resonant at the operating frequency of the magnetron. This prevents or reduces power loss due to capacitive coupling. In another arrangement, the decoupling plate is mounted to a post on the end hat of the magnetron cathode.
