Simulation and study of efficiency-optimized interaction processes in multicavity klystrons
Abstract
A relativistic one-dimensional model is used for the efficiency optimization of high-power multicavity klystrons with accelerating beam voltages of 6 and 50 kV. An analysis is presented of optimal bunching and energy-transfer processes in 10-cm-wave klystrons with an efficiency of 80-90%. Optimal parameters are presented for nine variants of klystrons with typical values of beam current, Q factor, and dimensions of electrodynamic system, drift tubes, and electron-beam radius.
