Abstract

Method and means for controlling the phase of an output signal comprising an electron beam device having traveling-wave-type deflection plates to which an input signal is fed, means controlling the velocity or position of the electron beam and p-n semiconductor diode means for amplifying the signal which modulates the electron beam which irradiates the diode, the phase of the output signal being related either to the velocity of the electron beam or its position on the semiconductor diode.
