Investigations in the Field of the Ultra-Short Electromagnetic Waves I. The Generator for the Production of Ultra-Short Undamped Waves

Potapenko, G.

Abstract

A description of apparatus for the production of ultra-short undamped electromagnetic waves by the method of Barkhausen and Kurz is given. An investigation has been made of the method of detecting the oscillations by observing the current in the plate circuit of the generator. At a constant plate potential the current is approximately proportional to the amplitude of the oscillations. A comparison of generators with one and with two tubes shows the advantages of the former. In certain cases the energy of oscillations produced by generators with one tube can be considerably increased by a suitable choice of the "ballast" capacity of the generator.
