A medium power (∼ 1 kW) miniature klystrode is required for applications including radar, microwave heating, and plasma processing. An electron gun optical system for a miniature and magnet-less klystrode that operates in the X-band is presented. The electron gun consists of two grids that focus and control the beam optics. The characteristics of the electron beam including the cutoff and current values are predicted with electron gun code. Analysis results for multi-hole type grid structure are reported.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
