Abstract :
The construction and performance of a pulsed-millimetre-wave magnetron are described. The performance is compared with that of a ¿parent¿ valve, using Slater´s scaling laws, and with theoretical standards. Some problems encountered in designing the valve and in holding close tolerances on the performance are discussed. The output coupling is analysed in some detail, including the effects of possible constructional errors. Test procedure is briefly described.
