Study Program for Design Improvements of the X-3060 Klystron. Phase 3: Electron Gun Fabrication and Beam Analyzer Evaluation. Phase 4: Klystron Prototype Fabrication and Testing

摘要

A full scale model was produced to verify suggested design changes. Through beam analyzer study, the correct electron beam diameter and cross sectional profile were established in conjunction with the desired confining magnetic field. Comparative data on the performance of the X-3060 klystron, design predictions for the improved klystron, and performance data taken during acceptance testing of the prototype VKS-8274 JPL are presented.
