Claims
- 1. A method of impressing voltages on electrodes of an electron tube device mounted with a cold cathode, having an electron gun and a collector electrode, said electron gun including a cold cathode provided with an array of field emitters, a gate electrode, and an accelerating electrode, said method comprising the steps of:impressing required voltages on said cold cathode, gate electrode, accelerating electrode and said collector electrode, respectively, and finally impressing the gate electrode voltage at the rise time of said device and first shutting off the gate electrode voltage at the fall time of said device.
- 2. A method of impressing voltages on electrodes of a traveling wave tube device mounted with a cold cathode, having an electron gun, a slow wave circuit and a collector electrode, said electron gun including a cold cathode provided with an array of field emitters, a gate electrode, a Wehnelt electrode, an accelerating electrode and an ion trap electrode, said method comprising the step of:impressing required voltages on said cold cathode, gate electrode, accelerating electrode, Wehnelt electrode, ion trap electrode, slow wave circuit, and said collector electrode, respectively, and finally impressing the gate electrode voltage at the rise time of said device and first shutting off the gate electrode voltage at the fall time of said device.
- 3. An electron tube device mounted with a cold cathode comprising:an electron gun including a cold cathode for emitting an electron beam from an array of field emitters, a gate electrode and an accelerating electrode; a collector electrode; a power supply unit for impressing required voltages on said cold cathode, gate electrode, accelerating electrode and collector electrode, respectively, and finally impressing the gate electrode voltage at the rise time of said device and first shutting off the gate electrode voltage at the fall time of said device.
- 4.
