ABSTRACT
The magnetron was invented by A. Hall [1] in 1921 as a power converter and a power adjustment device. In 1928, two Japanese professors, Yagi and Okabe, discovered that a magnetron, in which the anode is cut into two or more segments, can generate high frequencies. The multiresonator magnetron was created in 1936 by Soviet engineers N.F. Alekseev and D.E. Malyarov. In 1940 this device described in the press [2]. Around the same time, H. Booth and D. Randall developed a similar design in the UK. The successful use of these devices during the Second World War for radar stations caused a rapid development of theoretical and experimental research, as well as the emergence of work on the practical use of magnetrons [3-6].
