Are you confused about which accessories to buy? Have you ever wondered how they work? Do claims made in advertisements seem too bizarre to be real? This book will give you the knowledge needed to answer these questions yourself. By using simple analogies with clear explanations, the author equips the reader with the science that governs the operations of these devices without using any math. By replacing "myths" with "facts" the reader acquires essential information that yields the greatest value from your purchasing dollar and not be taken advantage of. Topics include: conductors, connectors, skin effect, impedance, interconnects, speaker cables, balanced lines, transmission lines, power cords, isolation transformers, damping systems, feedback, vacuum tubes, acoustics and much more.

Electronics of Microwave Tubes presents the fundamentals of microwave tubes. This book explains, both qualitatively and quantitatively, the effects governing the operation of microwave tubes used in telecommunications, including tubes in circuits, properties of resonant circuits, and delay lines used as tube elements. Other topics covered include electron motion in static fields; exchange of power between electron streams and periodic electric fields; and ballistic treatment of electron bunching in regions free from radio-frequency fields. The diodes and grid-controlled tubes; modulation of electron streams by traveling waves in the absence of static transverse fields; and interaction between electron beams and traveling waves in crossed electric and magnetic fields are also elaborated. This text likewise discusses the practical applications of microwave tubes; microwave resonant circuits; delay lines; and electron beams and electron guns. This publication is a good reference for students, physicists, and engineers interested in the field of microwave tubes.

Types and causes of tube failures, what to expect from tubes, testing methods, and all about tube maintenance programs. Over 80% of all electronic equipment defects result, directly or indirectly, from tube failures. Why do tubes fail? What can be done to prevent them from failing before there time? How can you determine whether a tube is good or bad,or how well and how long it will work in a given circuit? Should tubes be replaced periodically,whether they've failed or not...or should they be tested every so often,and replaced if indications show them to be below par? This book supplies the answers to these and many many more questions!

Discover (or rediscover) the fun and magic of building electronic circuits with thermatrons (vacuum tubes). This book has everything you need to know about the art and science of thermatron design and construction. It pulls together, in one easy to read book, thermatron types and characteristics, thermatron homebrew techniques, and how to design audio and RF triode and pentode circuits. The book is written primarily for radio amateurs (or audio equipment builders) that already understands basic electronics but have forgotten or never had the pleasure of working with hollow-state devices. The Second Edition includes over 50+ pages of new and revised material including a new chapter on thermatron oscillator design.

Vacuum tube fundamental circuit design written for the novice interested in vacuum tube amplifier construction. A brief concise book covering several factors of circuit design including bias requirements, voltage gain requirements and power supply requirements.To help understand circuit operation rather than use traditional schematic drawings pictorial illustrations are used. In several sections circuit operation is demonstrated using illustrations along with a vacuum tube breadboard. Experiments are used to correlate circuit design to actual working circuits.Circuit calculations involving fundamental electronic formulas can be performed using a standard twelve digit calculator. Examples of how to solve calculations are provided. Basic electronic knowledge of voltage, current and ohms law related to vacuum tube circuit design is included where appropriate.The 70+ pages of circuit design contain enough information to design high quality vacuum tube amplifier circuits. The last few pages of the book have related information including how to use sound pressure levels to determine amplifier power required to produce desired loudness.
