Description

The Accelerator Research Laboratory at Texas A and M University is developing gated field-emitter cathodes for microwave and millimeter-wave applications. The cathode consists of an array of gated field-emitters which are modulated at microwave frequency to produce a fully modulated electron beam. Field-emitter structures under development include gated knife-edge arrays, reentrant cusps, and porous silicon. All feature extremely high transconductance, low noise, and rugged structure as compared to earlier field-emitter structures
