Magnetron having an anode with cooling channels

摘要

A magnetron comprises a cathode and an anode, the anode comprising a substantially cylindrical anode block having a plurality of internal resonant cavities. A pair of enclosed channels extend about the block, a coolant inlet being present in one of the channels and a coolant outlet being present in the other of the channels, the channels being connected to each other along their length by one or more connecting passageways dimensioned relative to the channels to provide a restriction so as the enhance coolant flow velocity, in use, through the connecting passageway.
