  • Abstract
    A system for modulating the output of a thermionic generator and delivering a high-voltage alternating current to the load is presented. After optimizing the mode of operation, equations for the maximum conversion efficiency are derived. For a given anode work function and cathode temperature, it is shown that for sinusoidal output the maximum a-c efficiency is equal to approximately 70% of the corresponding d-c value.
