Abstract :
A new cold cathode klystron oscillator in the THz range is presented. Modeling and design of the THz klystron cavity, bunching grid, repeller and output structure based on silicon technology are presented. Technology and measured characteristics of the ultra-high current density field emission array cathode are presented.
