DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH-POWER BROADBAND TUBES AND RELATED STUDIES

Abstract

A cloverleaf S-band TWT structure was designed to achieve the objectives of 10 Mw peak power TWT amplifiers which occur on the rise and fall of voltage pulse. An external circuit TWT was designed to obtain a structure in which changes on the circuit could be made relatively easily and cheaply. Performance characteristics of a centipede high-power TWT are presented. The design of components for the 10 Mw cloverleaf TWT is described and a brwer and 30 kw average power with efficiencies as high as possible. A method was determined for suppressing oscillations in high-power TWT amplifiers which occur on the rise and fall of voltage pulse. An external circuit TWT was designed to obtain a structure in which changes on the circuit could be made relatively easily and cheaply. Performance characteristics of a centipede high-power TWT are presented. The design of components for the 10 Mw cloverleaf TWT is described and a brief review of the circuit design is presented. A detailed discussion of the component design necessary for use with the tapered TWT is presented. An electron stick was studied as a tool for evaluating high-power TWT circuits or klystron circuits without the construction of a complete tube. A hollow beam electron gun with high perveance and convergence was produced. A theoretical study was completed on tapered structures.
