Vacuum Tube Theory, a Basics Tutorial – Page 1
Vacuum Tube Theory, a Basics Tutorial – Page 1 Vacuum Tubes or Thermionic Valves come in many forms including the Diode, Triode, Tetrode, Pentode, Heptode and many more. These tubes have been manufactured by the millions in years gone by and even today the basic technology finds applications in today's electronics scene. It was the vacuum tube that first opened the way to what we know as electronics today, enabling first rectifiers and then active devices to be made and used. Although Vacuum Tube technology may appear to be dated in the highly semiconductor orientated electronics industry, many Vacuum Tubes are still used today in applications ranging from vintage wireless sets to high power radio transmitters. Until recently the most widely used thermionic device was the Cathode Ray Tube that was still manufactured by the million for use in television sets, computer monitors, oscilloscopes and a variety of other electronic equipment. Concept of thermionic emission Thermionic basics The simplest form of vacuum tube is the Diode. It is ideal to use this as the first building block for explanations of the technology. It consists of two electrodes - a Cathode and an Anode held within an evacuated glass bulb, connections being made to them through the glass envelope. If a Cathode is heated, it is found that electrons from the Cathode become increasingly active and as the temperature increases they can actually leave the Cathode and enter the surrounding space. When an electron leaves the Cathode it leaves behind a positive charge, equal but opposite to that of the electron. In fact there are many millions of electrons leaving the Cathode. -

ARGUS, the VCR97 CRT, the PENTODE THAT WON the WAR and “MY ARGUS”
PRACTICAL TELEVISION MAGAZINE'S ARGUS, THE VCR97 CRT, THE PENTODE THAT WON THE WAR and “MY ARGUS”. Dr. Hugo Holden, Oct. 2016. (Updated Nov.2016- Argus Filters & case page 37. Change to sync Sep value, pg 14) INTRODUCTION: Firstly some photos of “My Argus”. This name, throughout this article, refers to my unique version of the Argus build your own Television project from Practical Television (P.T.) magazine 1952. My Argus has a different mechanical construction philosophy and altered electrical design which is described in this article: SCREEN IMAGES: The Argus employed the VCR97 CRT (Radar Cathode Ray Tube). Just how good is a VCR97 CRT at producing a 405 line television picture? The answer to this question depends on the actual VCR97 you have and the performance of the set’s vision amplifier and video output stage. Some VCR97’s, due to an anomaly in their electron gun and deflection plate construction, cannot deflect a full screen image. Other VCR97’s now have low emission and brightness and while being ok for a single line scope or radar display, are poor for displaying a TV scanning raster. After sorting through a good number of them I selected the better performing tube. A number of screen images are shown below. The screen image photographs below show that the horizontal and vertical scanning linearity is not perfect. It is a little stretched at the start of the horizontal scan and compressed a little at the end vertical scan. This turned out to have a different reason in the line and frame oscillator/deflection circuits and was subsequently remedied with simple modifications described later in this article. -

SCREEN GRIDS in AUDIO and RF MODULATOR POWER TUBES
SCREEN GRIDS in AUDIO and RF MODULATOR POWER TUBES Readers - please note this page is presented for your education, information and guidance only. This paper refers only to the characteristics and performance of push-pull tube audio amplifiers without trans-stage or loop negative feedback. For reasons detailed elsewhere in my website I have no interest whatsoever in either single-ended amplifiers or trans- stage negative feedback. For full ratings and applications of specific tube types in which you are interested please refer to the manufacturer's catalogue. Please note that no warranty is expressed or implied - see footnote notice. The whole or part thereof of this paper and/or the designs and design concepts expressed therein may be reproduced for personal use - but not for commercial gain or reward without the express written permission of the author. © Copyright: Dennis R. Grimwoood - All rights reserved. Copyright in all quoted works remains with their original owner, author and publisher, as applicable. 1. INTRODUCTION Traditionally, the design of audio amplifiers has followed fairly clear and well established design principles. Some of those principles relate to the way in which Screen Grids are used to control current flow in audio amplifier tubes, particularly power tubes. Examination of professionally designed commercial circuits spanning more than 60 years' audio technology shows us there has been very little innovation in the way in which Screen Grids are used - ie little variation in, or departure from, conventional, traditional Screen-Grid application design concepts. It is understandable why this is so, because innovative engineering was not encouraged in the consumption driven expanding global marketplaces of the 1940's through 1970's. -
