Abstract
1. A magnetron discharge device for noise generation comprising an elongated cathode, a plurality of spaced anode segments surrounding said cathode to define a cylindrical space charge chamber, and means for establishing a radial electric field between said cathode and said anode segments for imparting an average rotational velocity about the cathode to an electronic space charge when a magnetic field is axially directed through the space charge chamber, said spaced segments and the gaps between them differing in relative widths whereby electrons traveling under different segments and gaps have different transit times.
