Product Information

The nuvistor was developed to compete with the early transistors and operated at higher frequencies than those early transistors could. The silicon forms barium orthosilicate at the interface between the nickel sleeve and the cathode barium oxide coating. that transmitters with vacuum tubes are better able to survive lightning strikes than transistor transmitters do. Additional electrodes create tetrodes, pentodes, and so forth, which have multiple additional functions made possible by the additional controllable electrodes. After World War I, specialized manufacturers using more economical construction methods were set up to fill the growing demand for broadcast receivers.

In 1934 Flowers built a successful experimental installation using over 3,000 tubes in small independent modules; when a tube failed, it was possible to switch off one module and keep the others going, thereby reducing the risk of another tube failure being caused; this installation was accepted by the Post Office (who operated telephone exchanges). While it was commonly believed that vacuum tubes were more efficient than solid-state circuits at RF power levels above approximately 20 kilowatts, this is no longer the case, especially in medium wave (AM broadcast) service where solid-state transmitters at nearly all power levels have measurably higher efficiency. Additionally, users can enjoy the flexibility of working with mainframe and IBM i applications from virtually anywhere as they are no longer tied to a computer running a terminal emulator. Although Edison was aware of the unidirectional property of current flow between the filament and the anode, his interest (and patent [13]) concentrated on the sensitivity of the anode current to the current through the filament (and thus filament temperature). Powering the filaments directly from a power transformer introduced mains-frequency (50 or 60 Hz) hum into audio stages.With these devices, electrons are field-emitted from a large number of closely spaced individual emission sites. This effect occurred especially in pulse and digital circuits, where tubes had no plate current flowing for extended times.

The useful region of operation of the screen grid tube (tetrode) as an amplifier is limited to anode potentials in the straight portions of the characteristic curves greater than the screen grid potential. When a vacuum tube is overloaded or operated past its design dissipation, its anode (plate) may glow red. The dynatron region of the screen grid tube was eliminated by adding a grid between the screen grid and the plate to create the pentode. Water as usually supplied has ions that conduct electricity; deionized water, a good insulator, is required. But in a tetrode they can be captured by the screen grid since it is also at a positive voltage, robbing them from the plate current and reducing the amplification of the tube.In spite of the advancing state of the art in power semiconductor technology, the vacuum tube still has reliability and cost advantages for high-frequency RF power generation.

Eventually the technique of neutralization was developed whereby the RF transformer connected to the plate (anode) would include an additional winding in the opposite phase.Beam power tubes can be connected as triodes for improved audio tonal quality but in triode mode deliver significantly reduced power output. While the amplification factors of typical triodes commonly range from below ten to around 100, tetrode amplification factors of 500 are common.

Their distinctive orange, red, or purple glow during operation indicates the presence of gas; electrons flowing in a vacuum do not produce light within that region. The triode and its derivatives (tetrodes and pentodes) are transconductance devices, in which the controlling signal applied to the grid is a voltage, and the resulting amplified signal appearing at the anode is a current.

A system widely used in Europe known as the Mullard–Philips tube designation, also extended to transistors, uses a letter, followed by one or more further letters, and a number. Non-thermionic types such as a vacuum phototube, however, achieve electron emission through the photoelectric effect, and are used for such purposes as the detection of light intensities. Vacuum tubes may develop defects in operation that make an individual tube unsuitable in a given device, although it may perform satisfactorily in another application. High-power amplifier tubes are designed with external anodes that can be cooled by convection, forced air or circulating water.
