A New High-slope RF Pentode
Bosch Electronics Augetron.
The Augetron is the main exhibit of this firm. It is a six-stage electron-multiplier of the grid-controlled type. With an indirectly- heated cathode rated t0 consume 1.5 A at 2 Volts, the multiplier requires 300 Volts per stage, 0r nearly 2,000 Volts total. With 10 mA in the final stage the overall mutual conductance is about 40 mA/V.
The input capacity is 4 μμF and the output 7.50 μμF., and at 45 MHz the input resistance is over 20 kΩ. It is claimed that voltage amplification of the order of 1,000 times can be secured from a. single multiplier even in its television applications.
