A magnetron is a type of vacuum tube that generates microwaves. Invented during World War II, magnetrons played a significant role in the development of radar technology.
The magnetron consists of three main components:
Electrons produced at the cathode are accelerated toward the anode. The magnet then controls their motion, resulting in the generation of microwaves. These waves, being the shortest among radio waves with a range from 1 meter to 1 millimeter, have high directivity and can effectively bypass obstacles.
Magnetrons are critical not just in radar systems, but also in various other fields like medicine and industry. In everyday life, they are most commonly known for their use in microwave ovens.
