Abstract :
Summary form only given. In fusion applications, the performance of tetrodes are strongly linked to two main parameters: the standing wave ratio, VSWR, any phase, and the RF losses. The aim of this paper is to analyze these two items and their consequences on the operating point of electron tube.
