Abstract:

The report describes an experimental and theoretical study of an RF- keyed linear format Crossed-Field Amplifier, CFA, using a printed-circuit slow-wave structure. The theoretical results indicate that higher interaction impedances than have presently been obtained with printed-circuit slow-wave structures will be required to achieve the goal of low RF-keying levels. Experimental results indicate good agreement between theory and experiment for the phase velocity of the slow-wave structure and reasonable agreement between theory and experiment for the CFA.
