Abstract
Discharge tubes are described in which a low pressure glow discharge is initiated by means of a magnetic field pulse. A tube has been developed in which a glow discharge so triggered leads to the formation of a cathode spot on a mercury pool; this tube will hold off 20 kv until fired and will then pass a current pulse of several hundred amperes. Its use in radar modulator circuits is envisaged.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
