A tetrode is an electronic device having four active electrodes. The term most commonly applies to a two-grid vacuum tube. It has four electrodes instead of three, as in the case of a triode.
Grids The first grid of a tetrode, i.e. the grid nearest the cathode, is the "control grid", because the voltage applied to it causes the plate current (electricity) to vary. In normal operation, with a resistive load, this varying current will result in varying (AC) voltage measured at the plate. With proper Biasing (electronics), this voltage will be an amplified (but inverted) version of the AC voltage applied to the control grid, thus the tetrode can provide voltage gain.
The second grid, usually called a "screen grid" or "shield grid", provides a screening effect, isolating the control grid from the plate. This helps (1) to suppress oscillation and (2) to reduce an undesirable effect in triodes called the "Miller effect", where the gain of the tube causes a feedback effect which increases the apparent capacitance of the tube's grid, thus limiting the tube's high-frequency performance. The screen grid is connected to a positive voltage, and bypassed to the cathode with a capacitor. This shields the grid from the plate, thus reducing Miller capacitance to a very low level and improving the tube's performance at high frequencies. Thus as a result tetrodes are commonly used in radio equipment, because the need for neutralization is less (see Radio transmitter design and Valve amplifier for more details)
Under certain operating conditions, the tetrode exhibits negative resistance due to secondary emission of electrons from the anode. The shape of the characteristic curve of a tetrode operated in this region led to the term "tetrode kink". The negative resistance is exploited in the dynatron oscillator. However, in many applications the tetrode kink is undesirable and therefore a further, third, grid called the suppressor grid was added; the resulting vacuum tube is called a pentode.
Operation The triode vacuum tube also develops a "space charge" between the cathode and control grid, which reduces its gain, especially at low plate voltages. The screen grid neutralizes the space charge and increases the tube's gain.
Invention The tetrode tube was developed by Dr. Walter H. Schottky of Siemens AG & Halske GMBH in Germany during World War I. Thousands of variations of the tetrode design, as well as its later development the pentode, have been manufactured since then.
Tetrode transistors also exist, in the form of dual-gate MOSFETs. They are used mainly in radio receiver equipment like mobile phones.
