Improved SPICE Model for Triode Vacuum Tubes

An improved PSpice analog behavior model for the triode vacuum tube is given. The effects of initial electron velocity, low plate voltage, and positive grid voltage are included in the model. These model improvements allow better simulation of the circuits operating the triode at low plate currents, low plate voltages, or with positive grid voltages.
