DEVELOPMENT OFAN X-BAND CW CROSSED-FIELD AMPLIFIER.
Abstract
Successful operation with the reactively loaded interdigital line has proved more difficult for this program at X-band than it has at lower frequencies. The fourthorder periodicity of the structures, together with the small mechanical dimensions which magnify the effects of tolerances, makes it extremely difficult to obtain a good impedance match. In the absence of a good match, the several hot tubes built to date have evidenced very strong oscillations at the band edges, with no sign of amplification. Work has begun on a new type of slow wave structure, one that is also a fundamental forward wave circuit but which has certain electrical and physical features that make a broad band match relatively straightforward. Hot tubes with this new circuit are presently under construction. (Author)
