Abstract
The results of experimental studies into the application of anisotropic pyrolytic graphite (APG) as grid structures in power microwave devices with a dispenser cathode are detailed. The dependences of emission characteristics of molybdenum, hafnium, and APG in diodes and electron guns on the electron-flow power dissipated at the studied samples and on cathode temperature are presented. It is demonstrated that the power dissipation capacity of APG grid structures (without parasitic thermionic emission) is up to 20 and 9 times higher than that of molybdenum and hafnium grids, respectively.
