Power extraction in relativistic klystron amplifier

The several types of the relativistic klystron amplifier output circuits are discussed. The composition and properties of the electromagnetic fields in the klystron electrodynamics structures filled by a relativistic electron beam are described. The calculation results of the electron wave propagation in the relativistic klystron TW output circuits are presented. The linear theory numerical data are compared with the 'cold' experimental results. 2D investigations results of the KMT-3 relativistic klystron with the single and double gaps are analyzed.© (1995) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
