DEVELOPMENT OF A KU-BAND CROSSED-FIELD AMPLIFIER.
Abstract
This is the final engineering report on a Ku-band crossedfield amplifier development program. The approach used here is essentially one of scaling the slow wave circuit of a proven X-band crossed-field amplifier. Electrical and mechanical design factors and subsequent modifications thereto are treated in detail along with a description of the test equipment used to evaluate the design. Operating performance data reveals the re-entrant stream backward wave crossed-field amplifier, as dedeveloped on this program, to be capable of gains in excess of 20 db over a wide frequency band. The tube has also demonstrated a peak power output of 200 kw. These data are indicative of the characteristics of this particular slow wave circuit (a choke supported interdigital line) and the relative ease of its adaptability to other frequency bands.
