A Facility to Study the Basic Power-Limiting Mechanisms in High Power Microwave Sources

Abstract

The new facility makes possible the analysis and processing of high current density oxide cathodes and the study of pulse shortening in the output circuits of microwave tubes. The equipment requested consists of an instrument to measure cathode activity, two surface analysis instruments and miscellaneous vacuum components for cathode work. For pulse shortening research, and x-ray imaging system to study dark current in a high gradient test cavity.
