DIODE ASSEMBLY FOR PROTECTION OF VHF DEVICES Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC H01J19/24 H01L25/03 H01P1/15 

FIELD: electricity.

SUBSTANCE: diode assembly relates to devices intended for use in ultrahigh-frequency protection devices. The assembly contains one or several pairs of electrodes 3.1, 3.2, having in each pair facing to each other surfaces with field-emission coating 5.1, 5.2. The electrodes are installed so that their parts with the named surfaces and clearance between them are in common evacuated volume, for example in a glass flask 1. The distinctive feature of the design is the presence of vacuum interval between electrodes and absence of substance on the paths of electrons due to the operating principle using the phenomenon of field emission. Diode elements in each pair are designed inseparable. Each of the named pairs of electrodes has corresponding equivalent circuit with two diodes, connected antiparallel.

EFFECT: decrease of recovery time to ensure the widening of the range of possible use towards higher frequencies and improvement of operating reliability of operation at the expense of increase of allowable power of very high frequency radiation.
