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 microseconds pulse duration in C-Band with 10% instantaneous bandwidth. During this report period, design approaches for a large, directly liquid-cooled anode circuit were examined, and development of the SSHL circuit was initiated. Sample vane assemblies for the initial operating model were successfully fabricated and preliminary cold test data were obtained.
