Abstract
A cathode heater includes a patterned conductor embedded within a dielectric substrate. The ceramic substrate has a pair of conductors over the respective surfaces thereof to provide electrical contact for the heater. To assemble the substrates having the conductors, the substrates and printed conductive patterns are fired to provide a composite multi-layer ceramic heater which can be used to heat cathode electrodes in microwave tubes such as travelling wave tubes.
