RF OSCILLATIONS AND POWER OUTPUT IN ALKALINE THERMIONIC CONVERTERS
Experiments were made using a potassium plasma cell with a Ta emitter and a Ag-plated Cu collector. The r-f frequencies, rms voltages, power output, and other quantities were measured under various conditions of emitter temperature, potassium vapor pressure, and d-c and r-f loads. Ion and electron densities were calculated and compared with the oscillations occurring. (D.L.C.)
