The magnetron is:

  • A type of diode that requires an internal magnetic field.
  • A triode that requires an external magnetic field.
  • Used as the local oscillator in the RADAR unit.
  • Correct Answer
    A type of diode that requires an external magnetic field.

A negative voltage is commonly applied to the magnetron cathode rather than a positive voltage to the magnetron anode because:

  • The cathode must be made neutral to force electrons into the drift area.
  • A positive voltage would tend to nullify or weaken the magnetic field.
  • Correct Answer
    The anode can be operated at ground potential for safety reasons.
  • The cavities might not be shock-excited into oscillation by a positive voltage.

The anode of a magnetron is normally maintained at ground potential:

  • Because it operates more efficiently that way.
  • Correct Answer
    For safety purposes.
  • Never. It must be highly positive to attract the electrons.
  • Because greater peak-power ratings can be achieved.
