Microwave Noise in Accelerated Electron Streams.

Measurements have been made of the noise current fluctuations on the electron beam from a space-charge-limited, diode electron gun, in four sealed-off vacuum tubes. To perform the measurements a synchronous detection system was developed and evaluated. The variation of noise smoothing with changes i...

Description
Summary:Measurements have been made of the noise current fluctuations on the electron beam from a space-charge-limited, diode electron gun, in four sealed-off vacuum tubes. To perform the measurements a synchronous detection system was developed and evaluated. The variation of noise smoothing with changes in the gun anode voltage has been examined at 1,400 Mc/s., 4,250 Mc/s. and 9,520 Mc/s. [...]
