- the FIGURE includes a traveling wave tube shown schematically as 12 having a cathode l4 supplied from a power source applied at a terminal 15, a modulating anode 16, microwave structure 17 and a collector electrode 1 8. Coupled to the modulating anode ,16 are two vacuum tubes 20 and 22 which have the required constant current characteristics to charge and discharge the capacitance of the tube 12 and the associated circuitry with a linearly rising and falling voltage wave form. Although the vacuum tubes 20 and 22 are shown as being tetrodes, it should be understood that the other types of tubes could be employed'i'n the present invention.

Vacuum tube 22 is the on" tube and vacuum tube 20 is the off tube.
- tube 22 is conducting while tube 20 is cut off. Conversly, during the interpulse period, tube 20 is conducting and tube 22 is cut off. During the interpulse period tube 20 is biased so as to draw a small amount of current through resistor 50, zener diode 52 and zener diode 54.

- This pulse drives the tube 22 toward saturation and needs to be maintained only long enough to allow the stray capacitance of the modulating anode 16 of tube 12 and associated circuitry to discharge to ground potential.
- a pulse of sufficient amplitude for cut off is supplied by the off keyer 28, which is triggered through the pulse transformer 24 to the grid 34 of tube 20. This pulse must persist for the duration of the output pulse.
- the advantage of this circuit over the prior art lies in the simplicity of the circuitry of the on deck.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to modulator circuits and more particularly to a modification of a common high vacuum (hard) tube floating deck pulse modulator commonly used to drive the modulating anode of a traveling wave or klystron transmitting tube. Prior art modulator circuits used for driving the modulating electrode of a transmitting tube have a number of rather specific and expensive power supply requirements. Such prior art circuits generally require a bulky, moderately high voltage screen power supply, a bias power supply for the on" tube and a continuous output from the on" keyer to overcome the bias during the pulse transmission interval. Because of the configuration of the modulator circuit of the present invention, the following advantages are achieved over the prior art: 1) The on keyer need supply only a short duration pulse; (2) There is no need for a bulky, moderately high voltage screen power supply; (3) No bias power supply is required for the on" tube; (4) There is no need for a continuous output from the on keyer to overcome this bias during the pulse transmission interval; (5 The SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The above objects and advantages of the present invention are accomplished by providing a pulse modulator for a modulating anode tube of the type including a cathode, an anode and modulating means, said modulator comprising a first circuit connected to the modulating anode, said first circuit including means for initiating a pulse, a vacuum tube coupled to said pulse initiating means and to said modulating anode, and means for keying said pulse to said vacuum tube; a second circuit connected to the cathode said second circuit including means for initiating a pulse, a vacuum tube coupled to said pulse initiating means, means for keying said pulse to said vacuum tube, means for properly biasing the cathode, said means coupling the vacuum tube to the cathode; and a diode coupling the two vacuum tubes together in series for supplying the bias for the vacuum tube of the first circuit from the biasingmeans coupled to the vacuum tube of the second circuit.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING The FIGURE is a circuit diagram of the modulator circuit employing the present invention.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The FIGURE includes a traveling wave tube shown schematically as 12 having a cathode l4 supplied from a power source applied at a terminal 15, a modulating anode 16, microwave structure 17 and a collector electrode 1 8. Coupled to the modulating anode ,16 are two vacuum tubes 20 and 22 which have the required constant current characteristics to charge and discharge the capacitance of the tube 12 and the associated circuitry with a linearly rising and falling voltage wave form. Although the vacuum tubes 20 and 22 are shown as being tetrodes, it should be understood that the other types of tubes could be employed'i'n the present invention. Coupled to each of the vacuum tubes 20 and 22 is a transformer 24 and 26 respectively each of which provides input pulses to the keyers 28 and 30 respectively. Connected between the pulse transformer 24 and the vacuum tube 20 is the off keyer 28 while connected between the pulse transformer 26 and the vacuum tube 22 is the on keyer 30.
The vacuum tube 20 has a cathode 32, a grid 34 connected to the off keyer 28, a screen grid 36 and an anode 38. The screen grid 36 is connected to the cathode 14 of the tube 12 via series connected zener diodes 39 and 40. Zener diode 40 provides the proper bias to the cathode 14 and modulating anode 16 of tube 12 to maintain the tube 12 cutoff during nonconductive periods. Tube 20 and its associated circuitry are mounted on a common floating off" deck 41.
The vacuum tube 22 includes a cathode 42, a grid 44 which is connected to the on keyer 30, a screen grid 46 and an anode 48. Coupled between the anode 48 and the screen grid 46 of the tube 22 is 'a resistor 50. The screen grid 46 is biased to the proper voltage by a zener diode 52. Another zener diode 54 is connecteddirectly between the anode 38 of the tube 20 and the cathode 42 of the tube 22. Tube 22 and its associated circuitry are mounted on-a common floating 370m" deck 55 which is connected to the modulating anode 16. The operation of circuit 10 is as follows. Vacuum tube 22 is the on" tube and vacuum tube 20 is the off tube. During the on period of the transmitted pulse initiated through the transformer 26, tube 22 is conducting while tube 20 is cut off. Conversly, during the interpulse period, tube 20 is conducting and tube 22 is cut off. During the interpulse period tube 20 is biased so as to draw a small amount of current through resistor 50, zener diode 52 and zener diode 54. The voltage drop across zener diode 54 is fed to the grid 44 of tube 22 and holds tube 22 at or beyond cut off. The voltage drop across zener diode 52 maintains the screen grid 46 of tube 22 at the desired potential.-
To initiate an output pulse, a pulse is triggered from pulse transformer 26 through the on keyer 30 to the grid 44 of the on" tube 22. This pulse drives the tube 22 toward saturation and needs to be maintained only long enough to allow the stray capacitance of the modulating anode 16 of tube 12 and associated circuitry to discharge to ground potential. Simultaneously, a pulse of sufficient amplitude for cut off is supplied by the off keyer 28, which is triggered through the pulse transformer 24 to the grid 34 of tube 20. This pulse must persist for the duration of the output pulse. The cut off of current from the anode 38 of tube 20 causes the voltage drop across zener diode 54 to go to zero pulse, the output voltage of the off keyer 28 is re versed to cause tube to conduct heavily and recharge the load capacity to the tube cathode 14 potential. The resumption of current flowing through zener diode 54 simultaneously cuts off tube 22.
The advantage of this circuit over the prior art lies in the simplicity of the circuitry of the on deck. The on keyer 30 need supply only a sh'ortduration pulse, and the use of zener diode 52 eliminates the need for a bulky moderately high voltage screen power supply. No bias supply, as such, is required for the on tube 22, nor is a continuous output from the on keyer 30 required to overcome this bias during the pulse length.v These simplifications in circuitry allow the physical size of the on deck and the isolation transformer 26 which supplied it to be decreased. This decreases the circuit capacitance to ground and the losses associated with discharging and charging this capacitance for each pulse. The simplification also improves the inherent reliability of the equipment by the reduction of required component parts.
