Inhalt:
A theoretical study of properties of the auxiliary cathode of magnetrons with cold secondary-emission cathodes is performed. Different methods of providing a spatial-charge limited emission from the auxiliary cathode are studied in order to eliminate the temperature dependence of the emission current. New designs of the auxiliary cathode are proposed to provide a better emission current stability with respect to temperature variations, as compared to the currently used cathodes in spatialharmonic mm-wavelength magnetrons.
