A magnetron includes a ring-shaped anode (303), a cathode, an activating space (304), at least one permanent magnet (305) and a magnetic flux carrying unit (306,307,308). The ring-shaped anode (303) forms a plurality of resonance circuits (302). The cathode is disposed at the axial center of the anode (303) to emit thermions. The activating space (304) is formed between the anode (303) and the cathode. The at least one permanent magnet (305) is provided beside the anode (303). The magnetic flux carrying unit (306,307,308) carries magnetic flux generated by the at least one permanent magnet (305) to the activating space (304). A microwave oven and/or high frequency heating apparatus may utilize the magnetron.
