Millimeter wave vacuum tubes, including ones like the traveling wave tube (TWT) depicted here, amplify signals by exchanging kinetic energy in the electron beam (shown as a blue line) with ...

Vacuum tube amplifiers just won’t go away. I am speaking more of audio vacuum tube amps than I am of microwave amps like magnetrons, klystrons, TWTs and the like. Most other audio gear is solid state ...

While most VEDs in common use today (traveling wave tubes (TWTs), klystrons, crossed-field amplifiers, magnetrons, gyrotrons and others) were invented in the first half of the 20th century, ongoing, ...

1904: British engineer John Ambrose Fleming invents and patents the thermionic valve, the first vacuum tube. With this advance, the age of modern wireless electronics is born. Although the Supreme ...

Nothingness might not sound very useful. In fact, the opposite is the case because nothingness – in the form of a vacuum – has played a major role in the history of electronics. Until the invention of ...

Vincent SA-T1 Stereo hybrid vacuum tube preamp $1,495.00 When Vincent set out to design the SA-T1 hybrid tube preamplifier they took their time, painstakingly researching every detail until each stage ...

1904: British engineer John Ambrose Fleming invents and patents the thermionic valve, the first vacuum tube. With this advance, the age of modern wireless electronics is born. The principle of ...

PROF. L. B. ARGUIMBAU'S title is perhaps more suitable for one of those gloomy, but useful, volumes cataloguing every conceivable circuit in which valves have ever been used or misused, for he has ...

Vacuum tubeIs an electronic component that performs signal amplification, detection, rectification, etc. with an electrode enclosed in a glass or metal tube whose inside is evacuated. Until a ...

Restoring a vintage radio receiver has the potential to be a fun weekend project, but it pays to know what you’re up against. Especially in the case of vacuum tube electronics, running down gremlins ...

And now a page from our "Sunday Morning" Almanac: November 16th, 1904, 110 years ago today . . . the birthday of an invention heard 'round the world. For that was the day the British inventor John ...
