  • SSB Exciter Circuits Using a New Beam-Deflection Tube
    8/24/2008 7360 Circuits SSB Exciter Circuits Using a New Beam-Deflection Tube Practical Circuit Data for Modulation, Frequency Conversion and Detection BY H. C. VANCE K2FF Extracted from QST March 1960 The new beam deflection tube described here appears to be a bulb-full of versatility, with more applications than were visualized when the tube was under development as an improved type of balanced modulator. This article tells how the 7360 can be put to work in a number of ways in the amateur field, particularly in SSB transmission and reception. A new beam-deflection tube, the RCA-7360, incorporates novel design features which, with suitable circuits, allow it to be used in many kinds of applications with improved performance at frequencies at least as high as 100 megacycles. The tube was originally developed to provide a high degree of stable carrier suppression when used as a balanced modulator in single-sideband service. More than 60 dB of carrier suppression has been obtained with it as a balanced modulator in SSB exciters of both the filter and phasing types. It is of course equally valuable in double-sideband suppressed carrier service. Frequency conversion, product detection, synchronous detection, single-ended to push-pull phase inversion, switching circuits, fader circuits and compressor- expander-limiter circuits are among the many other interesting applications in which the unique properties of this new tube have been found to be valuable. In this article circuits will be described which make use of the 7360 as a balanced modulator, a frequency mixer and a product detector.

The ions are Filament 1 Grid then collected giving a measurement of the density or pressure of the gas inside the Filament 2 transducer. The various electrodes used in the transducer design are a collector surrounded by a circular grid with one or two filaments outside the grid. An electric current is passed through the filament to cause the filament temperature to increase. As the filament temperature is increased, electrons are emitted from the filament surface. The bias voltage between the filament and the grid will accelerate the electrons toward the grid. Most electrons will pass through the grid volume and exit the other side of the grid and then be drawn back into the grid for another traversal through the grid volume. Eventually, most electrons will impact the grid surface generating a current between the filament and the grid which is referred to as the emission current.

  • Valve Types and Char
    ‘Technical Shorts’ by Gerry O’Hara, VE7GUH/G8GUH ‘Technical Shorts’ is a series of (fairly) short articles prepared for the Eddystone User Group (EUG) website, each focussing on a technical issue of relevance in repairing, restoring or using Eddystone valve radios. However, much of the content is also applicable to non-Eddystone valve receivers. The articles are the author’s personal opinion, based on his experience and are meant to be of interest or help to the novice or hobbyist – they are not meant to be a definitive or exhaustive treatise on the topic under discussion…. References are provided for those wishing to explore the subjects discussed in more depth. The author encourages feedback and discussion on any topic covered through the EUG forum. Valve Types and Characteristics Introduction The Technical Short on ‘Valve Lore’ deals with using valves in receivers in general terms – their evolution through the years, types and general application in Eddystone receivers, as well as tips on sourcing valves and testing them. The Technical Shorts on ‘Eddystone Circuit Elements’ and ‘Receiver Front-Ends’ take a closer look at how valves are selected and used in particular circuits within Eddystone valve receivers. In preparing these articles, it occurred to me that an insight into some of the basics underlying the selection of a particular valve for an application in a receiver would be useful. In order to do this, some consideration of valve ‘fundamentals’ is necessary and how these influence their application and use in receivers. So here I deal mainly with the basics of valve construction and design and then their electrical parameters and important operating characteristics.

Purpose This tube is designed for the experimental observation of deflection phenomena caused by electric and magnetic fields of cathode ray. It may also be used to demonstrate the principles of a cathode ray tube (CRT). 2. Construction and Principles An electron gun consisting of a cylindrical plate, a cathode, and a heater is attached along with an electrode deflecting plate inside a CRT-type Crookes tube filled with argon gas. An electron is propelled from the cathode into the cylindrical plate. Voltage applied on the plate accelerates the speed of electron up to a specified velocity by the time the electron is projected through the hole of the plate. The emission resulting from the collision of the electron with the argon gas contained in the tube allows its path to be clearly visible.

  • How Electronics Started! and Jlab Hits the Wall!
    How Electronics Started! And JLab Hits the Wall! In electronics, a vacuum diode or tube is a device used to amplify, switch, other- wise modify, or create an electrical sig- nal by controlling the movement of elec- trons in a low-pressure space. Almost all depend on the thermal emission of elec- trons. The figure shows the components of the device. A demonstration of how they work is here. The physics here also determines the limits on the amount of beam that can be produced in an accelerator. Vacuum Diode – p.1/21 The Child-Langmuir Law In a vacuum diode, electrons are boiled off a hot cathode at zero potential and accelerated across a gap to the anode at a positive potential V0. The cloud of moving electrons within the gap (called the space charge) builds up and reduces the field at the cathode surface to zero. From then on a steady current flows between the plates. Suppose two plates are large relative to the separation (A>>d2 in the figure) so that edge effects can be ignored and V , ρ, and the electron speed v are functions of only x. d Electron A x Cathode (V=0) Anode(V=V0 ) Vacuum Diode – p.2/21 The Child-Langmuir Law 1. What is Poisson’s equation for the region between the plates? 2. Assuming the electrons start from rest at the cathode, what is their speed at point x? 3.

Now generate a differential equation for V by eliminating ρ and v and solve this equation for V as a function of x, V0, and d.

Abstract: In this study, a cylindrical triode ultrahigh vacuum ionization gauge with a screen-printed carbon nanotube (CNT) electron source was developed, and its metrological performance in different gases was systematically investigated using an ultrahigh vacuum system. The resulting ionization gauge with a CNT cathode responded linearly to nitrogen, argon, and air pressures in the range from ~4.0 ± 1.0 × 10−7 to 6 × 10−4 Pa, which is the first reported CNT emitter-based ionization gauge whose lower limit of pressure measurement is lower than its hot cathode counterpart. In addition, the sensitivities of this novel gauge were ~0.05 Pa−1 for nitrogen, ~0.06 Pa−1 for argon, and ~0.04 Pa−1 for air, respectively. The trend of sensitivity with anode voltage, obtained by the experimental method, was roughly consistent with that gained through theoretical simulation. The advantages of the present sensor (including low power consumption for electron emissions, invisible Citation: Zhang, J.; Wei, J.; Li, D.; to infrared light radiation and thermal radiation, high stability, etc.) mean that it has potential Zhang, H.; Wang, Y.; Zhang, X.
