Abstract

See full text

The frequency of an AC signal is multiplied by a factor N, where N is an integer greater than one, by an electron tube including a cathode for emitting an electron beam and a grid including N segments in proximity to the cathode. The grid is biased and coupled to the signal so the beam is formed as N groups of electron bunches during each cycle of the signal. Each segment accelerates one group of bunches for a duration of about 1/N th of each cycle of the signal. Different groups of bunches associated with the different segments are accelerated at phases displaced from each other during each cycle of the signal. In response to the N groups of bunches an output signal having a frequency N times that of the signal is derived.
