SUMMARY
It was the purpose of the experimenters to
attempt to produce the static characteristicsfor
small pentodes by developing functions of space
current division at the electrodes.
When operating pentodes within the normal
range of electrode voltages, changes in plate
potential affect the total space current and its
division between the screen and control grid very
little.
Moreover, although the total space cur-
rent is controlled largely by the control grid,
the division of the space current between the
screen and the plate is affected very little by the
control grid potential.
Taking into account the effects of initial
velocities and contact potentials, and making use
of the above facts, it is possible to express the
electrode currents in terms of the three-halves
power of a corrected electrode potential and an
empirical function.
Methods for obtaining the
electrode correction voltages and the empirical
functions for pentodes will be presented in this
paper.
INTRODUCTION
The need for elaborate and costly equipment to
determine the complete static characteristics of
power triodes motivated E. L. Chaffee1 to investigate
the division of space current in power triodes.
From
the results of his investigation, he was able to
determine those portions of the static curves in the
regions in which the maximum dissipations of the tube
would normally be exceeded using ordinary direct
current methods.
By an extension of Chaffee's methods, Clifford
M. Wallis 2 developed a method for determining the
space current division in the power tetrode.
It is
the purpose of this paper to describe a process of
further extending Chaffee's and Wallis' method for
the determination of space current division between
the electrodes of small pentodes.
Since, for small pentodes, it is possible to
determine static characteristics by direct current
measurements, the results of this paper are of
academic interest only.
It is highly probable, how-
ever, that this method in its entirety can be applied
to large power pentodes where it would be of practical
importance.

THEORETICAL DISCUSSION
In Langmuir and Compton's3 paper, it was shown that
Child's 3/2 power law (see Figure 1) should be modified
by a correction voltage to account for initial electron
velocities and contact potential.
Ifthen, we write

Division of the Space Current at the Control Grid
As can be seen in Figures 3 and 4, variations of
the plate potentials of pentodes.over a large range
has little or no effect upon the potential distribution
between the screen and cathode, and hence has little
effect on the total space current.
Until the plate
potential becomes so low that the effective potential

Part of
this electron flow will pass through the screen and
continue on towards the cathode, which effectively
reduces the total space current and alters its division
between the screen and control grids.
The curves of
the current ratio (ig/io) versus plate potential on
Plate I, plotted from experimental data on a 6SK7
pentode (used throughout .the experiment), show little
change in division ratio for variations in plate
voltage over a large range.

grid are not materially changed by changes in plate
potential, it is necessary only to satisfy equations

would be true if the curves on Plate III represented
equal values of current.
However, it was thought best
to limit the grid current to a small value.
It is
therefore necessary to divide equation (15) by the
ratio of io to ig, which is 7.5.
DivisionVof Space Current at the Screen Grid
Although the total space current is largely
determined by the control grid potential, the'division
of this current between the screen and the plate is
nearly independent of the control grid potential
over the usual operating range.
Experimental veri-
fication of the-above statement is illustrated on
Plate IV.
As can be seen from Plate V, the constant i0
and constant 10 (since e. was negative, iE was zero
and i0,
isp) curves were straight and very nearly
parallel to the plate potential axis.
In this region,
for any constant value of control grid potential, isp
could be described by

Since E is small compared to the first term in equation
(18), it may be neglected for all practical purposes.
Aes' was calculated by equation (18) for a number of
control grid voltages, and the results plotted as curve
"A" on Plate VII.
Ae p' and Aes'
were also determined by the method
outlined by Wallis in his article on tetrodes, which
is similar to the method for determination of the
correction voltages for the control grid and the screen
grid as outlined previously.
This consists of deter-
mining a series of points in the ep - es plane for
each of several constant ratios of 19 to is.
By
locating the intersection of the lines drawn through
each series of points, the origin on the ep-es plane
from which the 3/2 law is applicable is established.
These correction voltages may also be determined
from the above points by analytical methods as shown
below:

where the subscripts (1) refer to P1 and subscripts

Since the constant ip and constant is
curves
are nearly vertical in the ep-es plane in the usual
operating range of plate potentials (see Plate V),
it was impossible to locate points of constant ip/is
with any accuracy in this region.
For this reason,
it was necessary to locate these points of constant
ratio in the region of low plate potentials where
the plate current is largely controlled by the plate
voltage.
At these plate voltages, the field at the
suppressor grid becomes negative, causing electrons
to return towards the screen and cathode which
reduces the t6tal space current.
Because the correction
voltages must correct for space current, any screen
correction voltage experimentally determined at low
values of e
would not be expected to agree in mag-
nitude with values obtained at high plate potentials.
The correction factors determined at these low plate
potentials is

While this was impossible
to measure at high values of plate voltage, it will

In
the region of low plate voltage where it was measured

to be very small, and hence unimportant.

previously stated, Aep was found to be negligible

over the whole range of

PRESENTATION OF RESULTS
For a given control grid potential and a given
screen grid potential, Plate XIII may be used to
determine the "linear" cathode current.
This, in
reality, is a graphical solution of equation (4)

which may be written in the form
(4)

}4gs
This solution is accomplished by plotting io' 2/3 on
the ordinate against e
on the abscissa, holding
Agsego equal to zero. The value of/4gsego is plotted
versus e so that the vertical displacement from the
abscissa equals the
e
0
value.
This distance,
determined by e., is then added to the es value by a
45 degree projection.
Plotting io' versus i
2/3
on
the same plate allows the "linear"o cathode current
to be read directly.
It is necessary to correct the cathode current
by F(Ls) for both positive and negative values of
L .
On Plate XIV, lines of constant -L
are drawn,
and from the screen and grid potentials, it is possible, by interpolation, to determine -L
important range.
over the
The correction factor F(-L ) is
plotted on this plate also, and when the io' from
Plate XIII is multiplied by F(-LE), the actual 1o
(in this region i=
isp) is determined. The same
procedure is followed on Plates XV and XVI for
positive L
values.
On Plate XVII, the experimental and calculated
grid current for a screen voltage of 50 volts and a
18.
plate voltage of 50 volts are plotted.
The data for
the calculated curve was obtained by multiplying the
cathode current i0
from Plate XIII by the factor
F (L ) obtained from Plate XVI.
These curves are
very nearly parallel over the entire range of grid
voltages.
However, the theoretical curve shows
slightly higher values of grid current than the experimental curve for the same grid voltage.
It was
found that increasing the screen voltage increased
the total space current, but decreased the control
grid division factor in such a manner as to offset
the increase in total space current, so that the
control grid current remained essentially constant
over a wide range of screen voltages.
In this respect,
the theoretical curve showed the same properties' as
the experimental curve.
To determine the division factors F(Lp), Fy(Lp),
and F5 (Lp), it is necessary to determine L'p, which is
dependent upon grid potential, screen potential, and
plate potential.
The dependency upon grid potential
results from the fact that the screen correction
voltage is a function of the grid voltage.
On Plate
XVIII, this correction voltage is plotted versus grid
potential (taken from curve "A",
Plate VI) in such a
manner that the screen correction is equal to the
distance from the ordinate.
By means of projections,
19.
this correction voltage is subtracted from the screen
potential and L
=
may be determined (since ep
epo).
Plate XIX is the same as Plate XVIII with the
exception that the screen correction voltage curve "B"
on Plate -VI was used instead of curve "A".
Although
curve "A" is assumed to be the better curve, as a
check, each was used in determination of the final
results.
On Plates XX,
XXI,
and XXII, the experimentally
determined curves of plate current, screen current,
and cathode current are plotted along with the calculated curves.
The two sets of.calculated curves
resultsfrom the use of curve A and curve B on Plate VI
in determining Lp.
In many places, the two curves
overlapped, and at no point was there any large discrepancy.
Both calculated curves predicted the knee
of the curves and the magnitude of the currents as
close, or closer, than the experimental curves of
other 6SK7 pentodes.
CONCLUSION
The data used in this paper was compiled
entirely from experiments on a single 63K7 pentode.
This tube was carefully selected to insure that its
characteristics were typical of its class and the
tube free of gas.
While the results of this
20.
experiment are not conclusive because the investigation
was confined to a single tube, it is strongly felt by
the experimenters, because of the positive results
obtained, that the application of this method is not
limited to this pentode alone.
This, of course, would
bear further investigation.
The presentation of empirical functions can be
simplified greatly by plotting them on a log-log chart
in a manner that allows complete static curves to be
obtained for any grid, screen, or plate voltage within
the normal operating regions.
Such a method is outlined
by Chaffee and Wallis in their articles on triodes and
tetrodes.
