AI Technical Summary
Existing electron tubes face challenges in achieving high-power output due to insufficient insulation withstand voltage at the input portion, particularly when operating at high input voltages, and complex structures to maintain insulation are difficult to implement without leakage or structural complexity.
The electron tube design includes a sealable shield casing surrounding the cathode lead and a communication hole connecting the waveguide interior with the shield casing, allowing for the use of pressurized dry air, sulfur hexafluoride gas, or vacuum to enhance insulation without a complex structure.
This configuration improves the withstand voltage at the input portion, enabling high-power operation up to 3MW with an input voltage of 46kV, preventing electric discharge and maintaining insulation effectively.
