Developing Sheet Beam Klystron Simulation Capability in AJDISK.

摘要

SHEET beam devices are a new class of microwave tube that have the potential to compete with multi-beam devices. Like multi-beam devices, sheet beam devices have lower current density beams and increased surface area, making them particularly suited for high power applications. Reduced cathode loading increases lifetime and lower current density beams require lower magnetic fields for focusing. Sheet beam devices require only one beam, cathode, and anode. This reduced complexity may lead to several advantages over multi-beam devices, including, fewer parts, simplified manufacturing, reduced cost, increased lifetime, and greater yield.
