Abstract

Inverted magnetron gauges are characterised primarily by their robust construction and low power consumption. Traditionally they have suffered from mode changes, unreliable starting—particularly at low pressures—and inferior accuracy compared with hot cathode ionisation gauges. A new gauge in which the electronics and tube are combined into one fully integrated unit addresses these problems. The active inverted magnetron gauge described has major advantages when applied to large and computer controlled system such as particle accelerators and vacuum furnaces, which include small size, ease of interfacing to data acquisition systems and improved immunity from the effects of electrical interference and humid environments.
