New Magnetron* developed

Science Daily reports that researchers funded by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) at the University of Michigan have developed a new type of magnetron. A magnetron is a type of vacuum tube used as the frequency source in high-power microwave systems.

According to Dr. Ron Gilgenbach, an AFOSR-sponsored researcher at the University of Michigan, a new class of magnetrons was invented that holds the potential for more compact Department of Defense microwave sources with faster start-up, as well as higher peak and average power.
