01 Apr 1928 11 Citations | It is relatively simple to construct an inverted vacuum tube with wide clearances between plate and the rest of the tube, so that potentials of hundreds of thousands of volts can be applied to the plate, while the effect of this high voltage stepped down in almost any desired ratio is obtained in a low-potential circuit. |
13 Citations | It is shown that the circuit properties of such a device are very similar to those of a vacuum tube for many applications. |
| Such a circuit has the advantages over vacuum‐tube circuits of much shorter triggering time, simplicity, small size, absence of filament power supply, and low operating voltage. | |
04 Apr 2013 16 Citations | The disadvantages of vacuum tubes compared against solid-state implementations, such as power consumption, reliability, cost, etc., are far outweighed by the desirable sound characteristics of the overdriven vacuum-tube amplifier. |
| Improvement in some respects is obtained if a transistor is used in conjunction with a vacuum-tube cathode follower. |
