Abstract
A beam generating system for electron tubes, particularly travelling wave tubes, is formed of a beam shaping electrode and a dispenser cathode supported therein having an emission disk at its end face. A positional change of the dispenser cathode in the beam shaping electrode at different ambient temperatures is suppressed with the beam generating system, and thus a beam defocussing is avoided. According to the invention, the dispenser cathode is directly connected to the beam shaping electron and is connected below the emission disk by means of a radial cathode support. The beam generating system of this type is particularly employed in travelling wave tubes.
