A 13-mm Saticon Television Camera Tube for Use in Ultra-Compact Portable Recording-Type Cameras

Louis D. Miller, Alfred Month

A short 13-mm diameter magnetically focused and deflected Saticon camera tube has been developed specifically for use in the RCA Hawkeye recording camera. The tube is highly suitable for other ultra-compact high-performance ENG and EFP color television cameras. The tube features a unique glass envelope to assure accurate alignment of the tube with the coil assembly and an improved electron-gun design. Beam landing error and beam bending have been minimized through careful design and control. Sensitivity and spectral response data is given along with decay and build-up lag curve. Data illustrating the excellent resolution, lack of flare, geometry, and registration achieved with the newly developed 13-mm Saticon tube is also included.
