Below the figure are indicated the powerdissipated at the plate, the output power and the efficiency foreach of the assumed shapes of the plate current waves. In thelast case, where the current wave is assumed to be rectangular,the efficiency rises to a value of 82 per cent. This represents thebest condition as far as output power and efficiency are con-cerned, but in general the output power decreases as the efficiencyincreases because this assumed shape of wave is not obtained in 1 Transactions of , 1919. 304 THERMIONIC VACUUM TUBE.
