Final Report on the Switching EBS Development Program.

Abstract

Four types of switching EBS's were developed. The first was a series-connected high voltage switching EBS designed to modulate the grid of TWT's. This device demonstrated up to 1000 V output with a risetime of 18 ns. The second device developed was a single diode high voltage switching EBS with up to 700 V peak output. The single diode design was capable of high output currents and correspondingly fast risetimes; at 700 V output a risetime of 7 ns was measured. The third tube designed and tested for the program was a dual-output 400 V switching EBS which could simultaneously modulate parallel TWTs with no coupling between the two TWTs. The fourth tube designed for the program was an improved version of the dual output-TWT. The size, cost, and weight of the device were significantly reduced while the overall performance of the device was improved.
