  • Electron Optics
    Chapter 5.1 Electron Optics Sol Sherr Jerry C. Whitaker, Editor-in-Chief 5.1.1 Introduction The electron gun is basic to the structure and operation of any cathode-ray device, specifically display devices. In its simplest schematic form, an electron gun may be represented by the dia- gram in Figure 5.1.1, which shows a triode gun in cross section. Electrons are emitted by the cathode, which is heated by the filament to a temperature sufficiently high to release the elec- trons. Because this stream of electrons emerges from the cathode as a cloud rather than a beam, it is necessary to accelerate, focus, deflect, and otherwise control the electron emission so that it becomes a beam, and can be made to strike a phosphor at the proper location, and with the desired beam cross section. 5.1.2 Electron Motion The laws of motion for an electron in a uniform electrostatic field are obtained from Newton’s second law. The velocity of an emitted electron is given by 1 2eV 2 v = m (5.1.1) Where: e = 1.6 × 10–19C m = 9.1 × 10–28g V = –Ex, the potential through which the electron has fallen When practical units are substituted for the values in the previous equation, the following results: 5-7 5-8 Electron Optics and Deflection No. 1 grid No. 2 grid Heater Defining aperture Figure 5.1.1 Triode electron gun structure. 1 vV=×5.93 105 2 m/s (5.1.2) This expression represents the velocity of the electron.

  • 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.

  • The Electron Volt
    ApPENDIX A The Electron Volt Before we discuss the electron volt (e V) let us go over the following phe­ nomenon without the use of that unit. When a potential difference exists between two points, and a charged particle is in that field, a force is exerted on this particle by the electric field. An example of this is the beam of electrons in a TV picture tube. Each electron in this beam is accelerated by the force exerted on it by the electric field. As it is accelerated its kinetic energy is increased until it is maximum just prior to striking the screen at the front of the picture tube. When it strikes the front of the picture tube this energy must be conserved so the kinetic energy is converted into the form of electromagnetic energy or x rays. One problem is to find a description of the emitted x-ray photon. Let us assume that the accelerating voltage in the TV picture tube was 20 kV. Without the use of the electron volt as a unit the following units would be required in this calculation: 1. The charge on an electron (q) = 1.602 x 10- 19 coulomb. 2. Planck's constant (h) = 6.547 x 10-27 erg-second. 3. One angstrom (A) = 1 x 10- 10 meter (used to measure the wavelength of light). 4. The velocity of light (C) = 3 x 1010 cm/s. The force on an electron, due to the presence of an electric field, can be ex­ pressed as qE, where q is the charge on an electron and E is the potential differ­ ence, in volts, between the two points, divided by the distance between the two points, in meters.

    SECTION 3 ELECTRICAL DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS 3.1 CLASS OF OPERATION Most power grid tubes used in AF or RF amplifiers can be operated over a wide range of grid bias voltage (or in the case of grounded grid configuration, cathode bias voltage) as determined by specific performance requirements such as gain, linearity and efficiency. Changes in the bias voltage will vary the conduction angle (that being the portion of the 360° cycle of varying anode voltage during which anode current flows.) A useful system has been developed that identifies several common conditions of bias voltage (and resulting anode current conduction angle). The classifications thus assigned allow one to easily differentiate between the various operating conditions. Class A is generally considered to define a conduction angle of 360°, class B is a conduction angle of 180°, with class C less than 180° conduction angle. Class AB defines operation in the range between 180° and 360° of conduction. This class is further defined by using subscripts 1 and 2. Class AB1 has no grid current flow and class AB2 has some grid current flow during the anode conduction angle. Example Class AB2 operation - denotes an anode current conduction angle of 180° to 360° degrees and that grid current is flowing. The class of operation has nothing to do with whether a tube is grid- driven or cathode-driven. The magnitude of the grid bias voltage establishes the class of operation; the amount of drive voltage applied to the tube determines the actual conduction angle. The anode current conduction angle will determine to a great extent the overall anode efficiency.
