A new CW magnetron for microwave heating application

Abstract

To meet the projected needs of the domestic microwave oven market, Amperex has developed a CW magnetron, the DX 206, operating at 2450 megacycles. This tube has been designed primarily to give the lowest overall system/oven final cost, both in medium and high volume manufacture. To this end self-jigging assemblies are used extensively with ceramic-to-metal seals and heli-arc welds eliminating expensive hand glass and R.F. brazing operations.
