GS-9b/GS-90b
MICROWAVE TRIODE

The GS-9b microwave triode is used for RF voltage generation in external-feedback oscillators designed for continuous operation in the decimetric wavelength range down to 9cm.  The triode is available in two variants:  with heat sink, for forced air cooling (GS-9b), and without heat sink, for other types of cooling (GS-90b). The GS-9b is physically identical to the GI-6b and GI-7b, but several electrical parameters are different.
