Abstract
The present invention provides a magnetron which can conduct more magnetic flux in the active space at the periphery of a cathode structure to thereby further improve the efficiency of a magnetic circuit. The magnetron of the present invention includes an anode cylinder on which inner wall a plurality of anode vanes are provided, a pole piece provided on an end side of the anode cylinder, a circular magnet provided on the vicinity of the pole piece, and a magnet ring provided between the anode cylinder and the circular magnet. An outer diameter of the magnet ring is smaller than or equal to the outer diameter of the circular magnet and larger than or equal to the outer diameter of the anode cylinder. The magnet ring has a portion on a surface of the pole piece side whose normal line is non-parallel to the central axis of the anode cylinder.
