摘要

SLAC is developing a 16 beamlet X-band multi-beam klystron capable of delivering 5 MW of peak output power. In this design each beamlet has its own output cavity which feeds power into a waveguide combining scheme as shown in Figure 1. Since the beamlets do not share a common output cavity they can be individually designed as a single beam klystron in isolation and then combined later at a rate of (2N)2 beams to achieve the desired total output power. This approach is based on the research done for the delay line distribution system pulse compression scheme developed at SLAC.
