A magnetron includes a cathode assembly which comprises a helically wound wire supported by a ceramic cylindrical member. Emissive material is located between adjacent turns of the conductor and connection is provided to the conductor via a rod and tube. When current is passed through the conductor (2), the emissive material (4) is directly heated.

Magnetron

The performance of a magnetron may be degraded by its output frequency changing. This degradation may be reduced by fixing a resonator element in the magnetron's output waveguide enabling temperature stabilization to be achieved and also permitting the output spectrum of the radiation to be narrowed.
