  2. Triode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triode

    [11] [12] [13] [8] Starting in October 1906 [9] De Forest patented a number of three-element tube designs by adding an electrode to the diode, which he called Audions, intended to be used as radio detectors. [14] [7] The one which became the design of the triode, in which the grid was located between the filament and plate, was patented January ...

  3. Control grid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_grid

    The control grid is an electrode used in amplifying thermionic valves (vacuum tubes) such as the triode, tetrode and pentode, used to control the flow of electrons from the cathode to the anode (plate) electrode. The control grid usually consists of a cylindrical screen or helix of fine wire surrounding the cathode, and is surrounded in turn by ...

  4. Single-ended triode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-ended_triode

    A SET tube audio amplifier. A single-ended triode (SET) is a vacuum tube electronic amplifier that uses a single triode to produce an output, in contrast to a push-pull amplifier which uses a pair of devices with antiphase inputs to generate an output with the wanted signals added and the distortion components subtracted.

  5. Valve amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_amplifier

    6N3C power tube. A valve amplifier or tube amplifier is a type of electronic amplifier that uses vacuum tubes to increase the amplitude or power of a signal.Low to medium power valve amplifiers for frequencies below the microwaves were largely replaced by solid state amplifiers in the 1960s and 1970s.

  6. Plate detector (radio) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_detector_(radio)

    Plate detector circuit with cathode bias. Cathode bias RC time constant three times period of lowest carrier frequency. C L is typically around 250 pF.. In electronics, a plate detector (anode bend detector, grid bias detector) is a vacuum tube circuit in which an amplifying tube having a control grid is operated in a non-linear region of its grid voltage versus plate current transfer ...

  7. Pentagrid converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagrid_converter

    Circuit symbol of a heptode. The development of the pentagrid or heptode (seven-electrode) valve was a novel development in the mixer story. The idea was to produce a single valve that not only mixed the oscillator signal and the received signal and produced its own oscillator signal at the same time but, importantly, did the mixing and the oscillating in different parts of the same valve.

  8. Underwater acoustics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_acoustics

    Output of a computer model of underwater acoustic propagation in a simplified ocean environment. A seafloor map produced by multibeam sonar. Underwater acoustics (also known as hydroacoustics) is the study of the propagation of sound in water and the interaction of the mechanical waves that constitute sound with the water, its contents and its boundaries.

  9. 300B - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/300B

    In electronics, the 300B is a directly-heated power triode vacuum tube with a four-pin base, introduced in 1938 by Western Electric to amplify telephone signals. It measures 6.4 in (16 cm) high and 2.4 in (6.1 cm) wide, and the anode can dissipate 40 watts thermal.
