ELECTRON BEAM ANALYZER FOR TESTING LINEAR BEAM MICROWAVE DEVICES.

Abstract

A beam analyzer is discussed which was constructed for the investigation of characteristics of electron beams employed in linear beam microwave tubes. The design and construction features of the four basic parts of the analyzer are described in detail. Experimental results, which were obtained on two electron guns of simple geometry, are presented and used to evaluate the operation of the analyzer. The problem areas involving ion production due to poor vacuum in the analyzer are also discussed. (Author)
