Abstract:

Several low band dual-mode guns were constructed with various grid configurations using standard grid construction techniques. These were tested in a beam analyzer to determine consistency of performance between guns of the same configuration and also to determine beam characteristics with different grid configurations e.g. triode versus tetrode. In addition, a program was undertaken to produce low band dual-mode gun grid structures tetrode using a new manufacturing technique to increase dimensional accuracy. Two of these assemblies have been built. Author
