Second Source for Crossed-Field Amplifier QKS1567 C-Band Self-Modulated Forward-Wave Amplifier

Abstract

The main objective of the program is to develop a self-modulated forward-wave crossed-field amplifier at C-band with higher peak and average power capability than has been realized in the past. Tube performance objectives are 2 MW peak, 20 kW average, 50 microsecond pulse duration in C-band with 10% instantaneous bandwidth. During this report period, the tube mechanical design was completed. All tube parts were ordered and received. Approximately 50% of a complete tube assembly was built. Anode model no. 1 was brazed and cold test measurements were obtained.
