Developed in late
1800’s and early 1900’s
Still used in
applications requiring
high power or high
voltages (power
amplifiers)
Tube Construction

Thermionic emission
Filament (Heater) used to heat cathode
Cathode made of tungsten and thorium
Heated cathode emits an electron cloud
Positive potential placed on Plate (Anode) to
attract electrons
Negative potential Grid used to control
electron flow
Vacuum Diode
Vacuum Triode
Tubes – Take Aways

Grid current – minimal or zero as long as
Grid is negative relative to cathode
Grid is usually a mesh
Grid is closer to cathode
Heater is farthest from Plate
Used in high power applications
Inside of envelope is a vacuum

Produce an output which is an enlarged
reproduction of the input.
Device is called an AMPLIFIER
An accurate reproduction is called “LINEAR”
Imperfections in reproduction are called
“DISTORTION”
Tubes, Transistors, and FETs can all be
amplifiers.
Typically gain is measured in dB
