Abstract :
A simple method is presented for measuring the electrode dissipation in a tube operating normally in its circuit at ultra-high frequencies. Application to tube design and circuit design is indicated. Results of a typical experument are given for a triode oscillator tube, for which values are worked out for the grid temperature distribution, required tension in grid wires, and power limitation due to grid dissipation.
