AN EXPERIMENTAL SYNCHRONOUS-WAVE AMPLIFIER

Abstract

This analysis is concerned with the amplification of the synchronous waves in an electrostatic quadrupole pump field. Abrupt reversals of the magnetic field between the pump and the inputand output-couplers make it possible to use Cuccia-couplers coupling to the fast cyclotron wave. The small-signal gain was calculated under the assumption of a filamentary electron beam. An experimental tube was built, and measurements of gain and bandwidth performed. A maximum gain of 16 db was observed. (Author)
