Abstract
It is shown that by a mere bending of the drift tube of a two-cavity klystron into a circular arc, the current bunching near the output cavity is significantly enhanced. This increase in the bunching results from the "negative mass" behavior of a rotating electron beam. Operations with both low- and high-voltage beams are suggested.Keywords
