Fig. 1
The WMK-50 magnetron source current and voltage waveforms while driven by the MSS-14 power supply. The voltage waveforms show the difference in the discharge voltage pulses caused by different values of the target material ISEE (Ion induced Secondary Electron Emission) coefficient.
Fig. 2
Waveforms of the MSS-14 power supply output current pulses while driving the WMK-50 magnetron equipped with titanium target. The time point of zero indicates the trigger moment of the oscilloscope time base.
