Abstract :
Space charge in reflex tubes has an effect which causes considerable departure from the existing reflex theory. To a first order, it modifies the electronic admittance by a bunching effectiveness parameter, designated F, which, in general, takes some value between one and three. Several approximate methods have been used to estimate this F factor and the results are presented graphically for comparison with experimental measurements on the 723A/B reflex tube, showing good first-order agreement.
