Calculated Temperature Of Grid Lateral Wires In Microwave Power Triodes, Jewell Tucker
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
In microwave power triodes the grid drive power causes grid lateral wire heating. This development calculates the temperature of the wire as a function of the drive power, physical dimensions and characteristics of the wire material, for the following boundary conditions:
I. Constant grid drive, grid lateral wire of infinite length not connected to a heat sink.
II. Same as I except the wire is of finite length brazed to a grid frame.
III. The grid excitation in the form of pulses, and the grid lateral wire of finite length brazed to a grid frame.
the equations were verified experimentally …
