ELECTRON PHYSICS OF TRAVELING WAVE TUBE DEVICES

摘要

A brief description and important conclusions are given on work done at the Electronics Research Laboratory of the University of California for the Wright Air Development Center under contract AF33(6l6)-3278 during the period August 15, 1957 through December 14, 1958. The work described includes theoretical and experimental studies on backward-wave interaction, light weight focusing systems and space-charge waves in periodic beams, crossed-field interaction, and d-c and r-f tests on novel high-density emit¬ters. Supporting work on electron beams and large-signal studies is also described, as well as a preliminary study of variable parameter amplifiers.
