Abstract
An anode structure of the present invention provides radially disposed first vanes and radially disposed second vanes interdigitating with the first vanes. The first vanes and the second vanes are each interconnected by a first strap and a second strap, respectively. The first strap and the second strap are disposed coaxially on the same side of the vane structure and are generally rectangular in cross-section, having substantially parallel facing surfaces. Each of the vanes is generally T-shaped, with a relatively wide first portion and a relatively narrow second portion. The first portion is disposed proximate to an axis of the cavity with the second portion extending radially outward therefrom. The first portion has a radially tapered region extending to an innermost edge of the vanes, disposed completely within a diameter defined by an innermost one of said vanes.
