Research abstract
The technical objectives of the proposed Phase I program are: to evaluate and design a multiple-beam electron gun capable of generating approximately 1 A of beam current at a low voltage of 5-7 kV suitable for use in a broadband Ka-band amplifier, to perform beam-wave interaction studies to ensure the resulting beam-forming/circuit design will generate RF output powers in excess of 500 W over a minimum of 5-GHz bandwidth, to optimize the beam transport system to minimize size and weight with the goal toward 0.5 kW/kg, and to develop a preliminary mechanical layout from which an engineering plan can be generated and implemented in Phase II.
