Electron tube with control electrode remote from anode

摘要

An electron tube, for example, a transmitter tube of the triode type, comprising in an evacuated envelope a mesh or cage cathode (3) and an anode (1). By providing a control electrode (4) near the cathode (3) on the side thereof remote from the anode (1), the output power of the tube can be controlled by means of a potential difference between the control electrode (4) and the cathode (3).
