An electrode of an inductive output tube (IOT) is provided with channels for guiding cooling fluid. In one aspect of the invention, the channels are in a confronting relationship with a jacket surrounding the electrode and spaced from the electrode so as to define an interior region. Cooling fluid such as oil is circulated in the channels in fluid communication with the interior region, providing an escape mechanism for trapped bubbles in order to prevent localized heating of the electrode. In another aspect of the invention, the channels form multiple intersecting helical patterns of different pitches, with the steeper-pitched channels providing a more direct escape route for the bubbles.

Liquid cooling system for linear beam device electrodes

A self-guiding cover assembly for a vacuum electron device (VED) enclosure has a breach lock mechanism for seating the VED into the VED enclosure having a base. The breach lock mechanism has a plurality of guide elements mounted on the VED, a first sleeve mounted on the base and configured to removably receive the VED, and a second sleeve mounted on the base and configured to removably receive the first sleeve and rotate around the first sleeve. The first sleeve has a plurality of vertical slots configured to mate with the plurality of guide elements. The second sleeve has tracks configured to mate with the guide elements. A rotation of the second sleeve pulls the VED into the base for seating the VED.

Breach lock mechanism for seating vacuum electron device

A self-guiding cover assembly for a vacuum electron device (VED) enclosure () has a cover (), a pair of guide plates, and a pair of guide elements (). The cover has at least one electrical connector () disposed on the inside thereof for mating with a VED. The pair of guide plates is disposed on opposite sides of the outside of the sidewall of the cover. The guide plates each have a track () which guides the guide elements () mounted on the cover such that the cover is constrained in its motion when opening or closing in order to avoid damaging the connectors to the VED. The cover further comprises a breach lock mechanism for seating the VED into the VED enclosure by rotation of a sleeve (). The cover () defines first () and second () chambers separated by a panel. The top of the VED protrudes into the first chamber through an adapter platehaving holefor passage of the VED there through.

Radio frequency isolation system and cover assembly for vacuum electron device

A high voltage direct current contact for a vacuum electron device (VED), including (a) an outer cathode line having a first hollow cylinder having a first VED connection end, (b) a contact block removably positioned within the outer cathode line, having a heater contact and a first threaded stem extending towards the first VED connection end, (c) an inner cathode line removably positioned within the first hollow cylinder and placed in contact with the contact block, the inner cathode line including a second hollow cylinder and a support plate having an opening removably receiving the first threaded stem, and (d) a heater contact line in contact with the heater contact, including a third hollow cylinder and a flange on an exterior thereof, the flange being in contact with the support plate, the third hollow cylinder having a threaded end removably coupled with the first threaded stem.

High voltage connection for vacuum electron device

An inductive output tube (IOT) operates in a frequency range above 1000 MHz. An output window may be provided to separate a vacuum portion of the IOT from an atmospheric pressure portion of the IOT, the output window being surrounded by a cooling air manifold, the manifold including an air input port and a plurality of apertures permitting cooling air to move from the port, through the manifold and into the atmospheric pressure portion of the IOT. The output cavity may include a liquid coolant input port; a lower circular coolant channel coupled to receive liquid coolant from the liquid coolant input port; a vertical coolant channel coupled to receive liquid coolant from the lower circular coolant channel; an upper circular coolant channel coupled to receive liquid coolant from the vertical coolant channel; and a liquid coolant exhaust port coupled to receive liquid coolant from the upper circular coolant channel.

L-band inductive output tube

A self guiding cover assembly for a vacuum electron device (VED) enclosure has a cover, a pair of guide plates, and a pair of guide elements. The cover has a top, a sidewall, an inside and an outside, and at least one electrical connector disposed on the inside of the cover for mating with an electrical connector on a VED. The pair of guide plates is disposed on opposite sides of the outside of the sidewall of the cover. The guide plates each have a track. The guide elements are mounted on the enclosure on opposite sides of the cover. The pair of guide elements each mates with the track to guide the cover as it is lifted from the enclosure. The cover further comprises a breach lock mechanism for seating the VED into the VED enclosure having the cover and a base. The breach lock mechanism has guide elements mounted on the cover. A sleeve is mounted on the base and removably receives the cover with the VED. The sleeve rotates about the cover. The sleeve has tracks for mating with the guide elements. A rotation of the sleeve pulls the top into the base for seating the VED.
