Abstract
The disclosure relates to a radiofrequency generator including an Inductive Output Tube with an electron gun followed by an anode, the gun being raised to a high voltage in use, means producing an input radiofrequency signal and means of transmitting it to said IOT such that it provides an output signal whose power is amplified compared to said input signal, wherein said means producing said input radiofrequency signal, said means transmitting it to said IOT and said gun are confined in an electrostatically screened enclosure that is electrically isolated from the potential of the anode and can be raised to a high voltage, said gun receiving its high voltage from said screened enclosure. The invention is applicable to very high power radiofrequency generators.
