Abstract

A magnetron includes an anode having an anode cylinder and anode vanes; a cathode having a filament; a condenser, a choke coil, and a plurality of leads for providing power to the filament; a plurality of magnets, pole pieces, and a yoke for forming a magnetic circuit; an antenna feeder and an antenna cap for transmitting a generated microwave outside of the magnetron; and a plurality of joints formed of a joining material between a metal component and a ceramic component of the magnetron. The joining material is diffused between the metal component and the ceramic component, to infiltrate into an inner part of the ceramic component directly, thereby joining the metal and ceramic components, and thereby also improving a reliability of a magnetron, facilitating a simple component assembly process and a simple magnetron fabrication process, permitting simplification of the fabrication process and reduction of a fabrication cost, and saving equipment cost as a high temperature furnace can be dispensed with.
