A magnetron is provided including a yoke having an internal space, a first
magnet provided at one end of the internal space, a second magnet
provided at a second end of the internal space, the second magnet being
axially spaced from the first magnet. Further, an anode cylinder that
generates radio frequency energy may be provided axially between the
first and second magnets, a first pole piece and a second pole piece may
be provided proximate first and second openings of the anode cylinder,
respectively. Additionally, the magnetron may also include a seal that
intercepts external leakage, the seal may have an inward protrusion
extending axially towards the anode cylinder; and a choke filter that
intercepts external leakage provided proximate the seal.
