Abstract
A high‐power X‐band traveling‐wave tube amplifier has been fabricated and tested. The tube has a 17 dB gain at 8.76 GHz and an output power of order 10 MW. The electron beam has an energy of 850 keV and a beam current of 1 kA. Results are presented showing the characteristics of the amplifier.Keywords
