	Cavity magnetron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A cavity magnetron is a high-powered vacuum tube that generates coherent microwaves.
		Simple two-pole magnetrons were developed in the 1920s by Albert Hull at General Electric, as an outgrowth of his work on the magnetic control of vacuum tubes in an attempt to work around the patents held by Lee DeForest on electrostatic control.
		The cavity magnetron was widely used during World War II in microwave radar equipment, and is often credited with giving Allied radar a considerable performance advantage over German and Japanese radars, thus directly influencing the outcome of the war.

		Provided therein is an apparatus that includes a microwave resonant cavity, a magnetron for generating microwaves and a means for continuously controlling the power of the magnetron, with the means comprising a temperature control system, specifically an optical fibre pyrometry system, and a solid state control circuit.
		The cavity resonator 22 is configured such that a mass of ceramic 66 is capable of continuously passing though the inside of the resonator as it is heated and dried; i.
		Since energy radiated by the adjustable microwave power source 11, or magnetron, is converted indirectly to reflected power of the ceramic mass within the cavity 11, a change in energy generated by the magnetron causes an instantaneous change in the reflected power generated by the mass of ceramic 66 within the cavity 22.

		A magnetron is a high-powered vacuum tube that generates coherent microwaves.
		A magnetron consists of a hot filament kept at or pulsed to a high negative potential by a high voltage direct current power supply.
		Since then, many millions of cavity magnetrons have been manufactured; some for radar, but the vast majority for another application that was completely unanticipated at the time - the microwave oven.

	Miscellanea
		It is not generally realised that the cathode of a magnetron is very quickly stripped of its coating and after passing current for a total time of only a few hours a magnetron is quite useless.
		Magnetron cathodes are made to give as long a life as possible by special surface treatments but the life is still short only a few hours.
		Since the life of a magnetron is limited it is important to have a convenient way of testing magnetrons in use.

		The resonant frequency of a microwave cavity is thereby determined by the physical dimension of the resonator together with the reactive effect of any perturbations to the inductive or capacitive portion of the equivalent circuit.
		Operating the cavity in the TE011 mode, and slot coupling alternate anode resonators to the cavity, produces anode control of such intensity as to permit the construction of coaxial magnetrons with many times the number of resonators that can be employed in a conventional type magnetron.
		When estimating magnetron frequency change due to temperature coefficient, keep in mind that the temperature coefficient relates magnetron frequency to body temperature and there is not necessarily a 1:1 relation between body temperature and, for example, ambient air temperature.

	Magnetron Operation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The microwave radiation of microwave ovens and some radar applications is produced by a device called a magnetron.
		The magnetron is called a "crossed-field" device in the industry because both magnetic and electric fields are employed in its operation, and they are produced in perpendicular directions so that they cross.
		As these electrons sweep toward a point where there is excess negative charge, that charge tends to be pushed back around the cavity, imparting energy to the oscillation at the natural frequency of the cavity.

	Talk:Cavity magnetron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was not my intent to write the killer historical article on the magnetron, and without the preceding authors I would have had no basis to start from and would probably not have attempted to write an article from scratch.
		Gleaned from the reference [1] was a mention of early "two pole" and more later "six pole" magnetrons, incapable of producing significant power.

	The Magnetron - an overly simplistic explanation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The earlier primitive magnetron consisted of an evacuated glass envelope containing a thin vertical cathode surrounded by four anode segments connected to external resonating circuits.
		When a high voltage was applied to the anodes, the large magnetic field from the coil of an electromagnet surrounding the envelope caused electrons emitted from the hot cathode to spin in circles across the surfaces of the anodes, exciting oscillations in the external resonating circuits.
		Almost as soon as it was created one of the prototype cavity magnetrons was taken to the USA together with a plea for help in developing an anti-U boat device.

		Since the oven chamber cavity is a good reflector of microwaves, nearly all the energy generated by the oven is available to heat the food and heating speed is thus only dependent on the available power and how much food is being cooked.
		The magnetron is most often box shaped with cooling fins in its midsection, the filament/HV connections on the bottom section, and the antenna (hidden by the waveguide) on top.
		The gap between the cathode and anode, and the resonant cavities, are all in a vacuum.
