Zusammenfassung: | A novel broadband multimode extended interaction klystron (EIK) circuit is proposed to overcome the bandwidth limitation of the conventional single-mode EIK. The uniform-gap and stagger-gap extended interaction circuits are comparatively studied; the multimode operation is demonstrated; stability and feasibility of this multimode circuit are analyzed. A −3-dB bandwidth of 860 MHz (2.51% relative bandwidth) in Ka -band is predicted by a particle-in-cell simulation. Meanwhile, comparative study on the uniform-gap and stagger-gap circuits also explains the working mechanism of the conventional single-mode ( {\pi } mode) stagger-gap circuit. |
