Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
A magnetron comprising a cathode, an anode electrode coaxial with said cathode, magnet means for supplying a magnetic field to an interaction space between said cathode and said anode electrode, a shield casing secured to a conductive magnetron cover enclosing at least portions of said cathode and anode electrode, and filament lead wires extending through said shield casing and connecting the terminals of the filament of said cathode with external source terminals, each of said lead wires comprising a coaxial cable including a core conductor for passing filament-heating current to said filament terminal, at least one noise-absorbing insulator layer having a large microwave loss characteristic surrounding said core conductor, and an outer conductor of good conductivity surrounding said insulator layer, opposing portions of said shield cover and said casing being clamped around said outer conductor so that said outer conductor is grounded through said shield casing and cover to provide electrostatic shielding.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
152 words
