Abstract
A magnetron consists of a cathode structure mounted within an anode cavity arrangement. In order to prolong the operational life of the cathode structure electron emissive material is located within recesses formed in the outer surface of a cylindrical support. As the electron emissive material erodes away during operation of the magnetron its surface area remains substantially unreduced.
