Abstract
A cathode system for an x-ray tube has an electron emitter and a further electrode arranged between electron emitter and the x-ray tube anode. This further electrode can be connected to a potential deviating from the potential of the electron emitter with a switching stage having a pulse-pause (on-off) ratio set to produce the desired average tube current.
