Abstract

The means providing capacitive decoupling between the inside cylinder and a grid electrode are disposed at about one fourth of the wavelength of the highest operating frequency from the tube end of the inside cylinder. This is a current node, and dielectric losses at the highest frequency are thus greatly reduced. The match is less good at lower frequencies, but the corresponding dielectric losses are much less at lower frequencies. The first piston provides capacitive coupling between the first and second cavities whereby the entire outside cylinder may be maintained at ground potential.
