  • Abstract
    A new multitransit-electron tube is described, having high efficiency and an exceptionally wide electronic tuning range. An important feature of the tube is a trochoidal electron drift motion at right angles to the radio-frequency field, serving to remove electrons from the field at a favorable instant.
