Mobile Adaptable Measuring Instrument of Low-Frequency Noise Characteristics in Diagnostics of Vacuum Tube Devices

  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

Mobile measuring equipment adapted for measurements of low-frequency noise of vacuum tubes with a broad range of impedance characteristics has been developed. Control software making it possible to measure and process the obtained results in automatic mode has been created. The capability of determining the diagnostic parameters of thermionic cathodes of vacuum tubes is shown.
