  2. Strontium oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strontium_oxide

    About 8% by weight of cathode-ray tubes is strontium oxide, which has been the major use of strontium since 1970. [3] [4] Color televisions and other devices containing color cathode-ray tubes sold in the United States are required by law to use strontium in the faceplate to block X-ray emission (these X-ray emitting TVs are no longer in production).

  3. Iconoscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iconoscope

    Two iconoscope tubes. The type 1849 (top) was the common tube used in studio television cameras. The camera's lens focused the image through the tube's transparent "window" (right) and onto the dark rectangular "target" surface visible inside. The type 1847 (bottom) was a smaller version.

  4. Vacuum tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_tube

    Later thermionic vacuum tubes, mostly miniature style, some with top cap connections for higher voltages. A vacuum tube, electron tube, [1] [2] [3] [thermionic] valve (British usage), or tube (North America) [4] is a device that controls electric current flow in a high vacuum between electrodes to which an electric potential difference has been applied.

  5. Aquadag - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquadag

    Due to the graphite, it is electrically conductive and forms part of the high-voltage positive electrode, the second anode, which accelerates the electron beam. [4] [5] The second anode is a metal cylinder inside the neck of the tube, connected to a high positive voltage of 18 to 25 kilovolts. It has spring clips, which press against the walls ...

  6. Terbium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terbium

    Terbium oxide is used in fluorescent lamps and television and monitor cathode-ray tubes (CRTs). Terbium green phosphors are combined with divalent europium blue phosphors and trivalent europium red phosphors to provide trichromatic lighting technology, a high-efficiency white light used in indoor lighting.

  7. 7JP4 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7JP4

    The biggest problem with many picture tubes is the loss of emission or electron production due to contaminated or damaged cathode that surrounds the heater. The 7JP4 was used in the following sets (incomplete list): Motorola VT-71 Motorola VT-73 Hallicrafters 504, 505, T-54 Sentinel TV-400 Sentinel TV-405 National TV-7W Philco 50-T701 & 50-T702

  8. Klystron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klystron

    400 kW klystron used for spacecraft communication at the Canberra Deep Space Communications Complex. This is a spare in storage. 5 kW klystron tube used as power amplifier in UHF television transmitter, 1952. When installed, the tube projects through holes in the center of the cavity resonators, with the sides of the cavities making contact ...

  9. Transmission medium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_medium

    Line of sight transmission is used to medium-range radio transmission such as cell phones, cordless phones, walkie-talkies, wireless networks, FM radio and television broadcasting and radar, and satellite communication, such as satellite television. Line-of-sight transmission on the surface of the Earth is limited to the distance to the visual ...
