TRANSVERSE-WAVE HIGH-POWER TUBE

Abstract

Research and development work is described on a traveling-wave power amplifier tube employing transverse-wave interaction between the negative synchronous wave and a circuit wave on a balanced structure. The theoretical advantage in this arrangement is the possibility of high-power amplification with high overall efficiency, due to the lack of longitudinal or transverse velocity modulation in the spent beam. Final assembly of the first tube is described along with the difficulties encountered. Processing is also described and the tube is shown mounted on the vacuum station.
