Effect of intense space charge in Relativistic Klystron Amplifiers

Creators

  • 1. Los Alamos National Lab., NM (United States)

Description

The authors discuss basic Relativistic Klystron Amplifier (RKA) physics. They show that, for pulse lengths of one microsecond or longer in the intense space-charge regime, the maximum power extraction from the beam does not coincide with the maximum harmonic bunching. They also discuss the beam-cavity interaction model and present experimental and theoretical single cavity modulation results. Finally, they discuss alternatives to the basic RKA design that enhance beam to microwave power conversion efficiency, particularly at high frequency
