INDEX 400 Preface This revised and expanded edition includes a great deal of new material that has come to light since the second edition was published. The filter section has been thoroughly updated and now includes computer-generated tabulations of modern filter design based on network synthesis. This major entry was especially prepared for this book by Mr. Ed Wetherhold, whose contribution I most gratefully acknowledge. F. Raymond Dewey for giving so unselfishly I also wish to thank my friends and colleagues Rich Myers and of their time to review and comment on the previous edition of this work and for generously sharing with me much of their private source material. The word knowledge brings to mind the staggering body of facts and data accumulated by mankind since his descent from the trees. Once, thousands of years ago, it was possible for a man to know all that his kind had discovered. But, time has added so greatly to our reservoir of wisdom, that knowledge, today, has assumed another meaning: knowing where to find the information needed. This book humbly admits to being my attempt at simplifying the task of the busy engineer, technician, amateur, and student in locating the data he needs in the shortest possible time. Gathered here, in one single volume, is a wealth of information in the form of timely and practical nomograms, tables, charts, and formulas. Some of the material was available elsewhere, at some time or other, but never has all of it been gathered together under one cover. New and heretofore unpublished charts and nomograms are added because of what seemed to me an obvious need for such material. The book is arranged in a most readily usable format. It contains only clear-cut, theory-free data and examples that are concise, accurate, and to the point. The user of this book will be looking for answers and he will find them, without having to fight his way through lengthy derivations and proofs. In order to assist you in finding the data you seek, the book has been divided into six functional sections. That organization, together with a comprehensive index, quickly leads to the specific information needed. The v book maintains uniform terminology and format which assures that data found in one section can be easily and accurately related to those in the rest of the book. Much new and up-dated material has been added to this current edition of the book. It has been my intention (and certainly my hope) that this new material makes the book still more useful and comprehensive. The preparation of a reference book such as this is not possible without the cooperation and assistance of numerous industry sources who have so generously made their material available. I gratefully acknowledge, with special thanks, the contributions and critical efforts of Messrs. George J. Whalen, Arthur E. Fury Rene Colen, and B. William Dudley, Jr. If this book saves you many hours of tedious computations and search for information, it will indeed have served its intended purpose. The author and publisher invite your comments and suggestions regarding any such other material as might have been included it here, so that may be considered for any subsequent edition or revision. vi Acknowledgments of material Acknowledgment is made to the following organizations and publications who have permitted use during the preparation of this book. originally published by them.

Kip Dr. W. H. Bostick R. J. Debs P. T. Demos M. Labitt L. Maier S. J. Mason I. Polk J. R. Terrall Since the last progress report, primary emphasis has been on con- struction of additional lengths of accelerating cavity and the associated equipment necessary for operation. Primary design work has been finished on all components necessary for operation of the accelerator and most com- ponents are in the process of being assembled. The following items include recent developments and design details which have not been mentioned earlier. Delivery on the 2-Mev Van de Graaff machine is expected at an early date. A pulsing circuit to modulate the electron beam from the Van de Graaff machine has been designed and built. Since this circuit is to be placed in the dome of the machine at high pres- sure, all component parts have been subjected to 400 lb/in2 pressure to ensure that they have the necessary strength. Machining work on the one-foot accelerator sections is essentially completed. Assembly and brazing of the parts are now in progress. The final design for the 20-foot accelerator tube has been slightly modified in that it has been divided into three sections which are isolated from each other rf-wise by short drift tubes which act as waveguides beyond cut-off. The primary purpose of this procedure is to allow for tuning each section to optimum frequency independently.

In the early days, the possibility of picking up distant stations appealed strongly to the first amateurs. Long distance records used to be claimed on all sides, and the ‘‘last word” in 1925 was to “receive America.” Although in this way sen­ sitivity came into the foreground among the principal qualities demanded from a receiver, the density of the traffic through the ether soon brought up the critical problems of selectivity. However, up to 1930, radio remained the privilege of a small group of enthusiasts, since the installation, maintenance and control of a receiver layout (comprising, besides the receiver itself, a frame aerial, a loud speaker, a filament battery together with its charger, and an H.T. battery eventually to be replaced by a “battery eliminator”) necessitated a certain amount of technical knowledge and more than a little patience.

  • History of Thethermionic Tube / Valve / Vacuum
    History of theThermionic Tube / Valve / Vacuum Tube – Page 1 The following notes have been assembled by Phil (VK5SRP) from original material and material from several web sites, including Wikipedia for a class run at the North East Radio Club, South Australia January 2016. In electronics, a vacuum tube, an electron tube, or just a tube (North America), or valve (Britain and some other regions) is a device that controls electric current between electrodes in an evacuated container. Vacuum tubes mostly rely on thermionic emission of electrons from a hot filament or a cathode heated by the filament/heater. This type is called a thermionic tube or thermionic valve. A Photo-tube, however, achieves electron emission through the photoelectric effect. Not all electronic circuit valves/electron tubes are vacuum tubes (evacuated). Gas-filled tubes are similar devices containing a gas, typically at low pressure, which exploit phenomena related to electric discharge in gases, usually without a heater. Although thermionic emission was originally reported in 1873 by Frederick Guthrie, it was Thomas Edison's 1883 investigation that spurred future research, the phenomenon thus becoming known as the "Edison effect". Edison patented what he found, but he did not understand the underlying physics, nor did he have an inkling of the potential value of the discovery. It wasn't until the early 20th century that the rectifying property of such a device was utilised, most notably by John Ambrose Fleming, who used the Diode tube to detect (demodulate) radio signals. Lee De Forest's 1906 "Audion" was also developed as a radio detector, and soon led to the development of the Triode tube.

  • Controlled Dynamics of Laser-Cooled Ions in a Penning Trap
    Controlled Dynamics of Laser-Cooled Ions in a Penning Trap Eoin Seymour Gwyn Phillips December 2004 Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of London and for the Diploma of Imperial College Abstract I report on a scheme for improved control over the motion of small numbers of laser-cooled ions in a Penning trap. This work is part of a larger project to assess the suitability of the Penning trap for quantum information processing (QIP). Laser cooling of ions in this type of trap is complicated by large Zeeman shifts of the cooling- and repumping-transition wavelengths from those in zero mag- netic field. Lasers can not, therefore, be tuned to the unshifted atomic spectral lines using an external reference such as a hollow-cathode lamp. In order to address this difficulty I built a wavemeter with a precision of one part in 107 for direct tuning of the lasers to the transition wavelengths. It was also necessary to improve the laser-frequency stabilities by building reference cavities to which they could be locked. In evaluating the suitability of the Penning trap for QIP, one must address the poor localisation of the ions due to the difficulty in cool- ing one of the radial motions: the magnetron motion. I have implemented a technique called axialisation that reduces this motion's amplitude by coupling it to the other radial motion: the modified cyclotron motion, which is efficiently laser-cooled. This was done with small clouds of magnesium ions and later with small clouds of calcium ions.

  • Valve Type Numbers
    Valve Type Numbers The information in this document has been gathered and assembled from various sources including Radio Bygones magazine No. 9 (February/March 1991). Pro-Electron/Mullard Code This are probably the most commonly encountered numbering system in the UK - and the most informative. It consists of two or more letters followed by a number (normally two digits). Examples - UL41, ECC85, UABC80. The first letter gives heater rating: Character Heater Rating A 4V B 180mA C 200mA D 0 - 1.5V (previously 1.4V) E 6.3V F 12.6V G Misc. (previously 5V) H 150mA K 2V L 450mA P 300mA T 7.4V U 100mA V 50mA W 600mA X 450mA The remaining letters give the types of device in the valve. They are normally listed in alphabetical order.

  • RF Phototube, Optical Clock and Precise Measurements in Nuclear
    Radio Frequency Phototube, Optical Clock and Precise Measurements in Nuclear Physics Amur Margaryan Yerevan Physics Institute after A.I. Alikhanian Yerevan, Armenia Abstract Recently a new experimental program of novel systematic studies of light hypernuclei using pionic decay was established at JLab (Study of Light Hypernuclei by Pionic Decay at JLab, JLab Experiment PR-08-012). The highlights of the proposed program include high precision measurements of binding energies of hypernuclei by using a high resolution pion spectrometer, HπS. The average values of binding energies will be determined within an accuracy of ~10 keV or better. Therefore, the crucial point of this program is an absolute calibration of the HπS with accuracy 10-4 or better. The merging of continuous wave laser-based precision optical-frequency metrology with mode-locked ultrafast lasers has led to precision control of the visible frequency spectrum produced by mode-locked lasers. Such a phase-controlled mode-locked laser forms the foundation of an optical clock or “femtosecond optical frequency comb (OFC) generator,” with a regular comb of sharp lines with well defined frequencies. Combination of this technique with a recently developed radio frequency (RF) phototube results in a new tool for precision time measurement. We are proposing a new time-of-flight (TOF) system based on an RF phototube and OFC technique. The proposed TOF system achieves 10 fs instability level and opens new possibilities for precise measurements in nuclear physics such as an absolute calibration of magnetic spectrometers within accuracy 10-4 - 10-5. 1. Introduction The binding energies of the Λ particle in the nuclear ground state give one of the basic pieces of information on the Λ-nucleus interaction.
