Abstract :
A low perveance (0.22 muP) electron gun for Ku-band 140W space traveling wave tube (TWT) has been designed, using E-GUN and TRAK codes. Pierce type electron gun with an electrically isolated beam forming electrode (BFE) and an ion barrier anode (A0) has been opted. An M-type dispenser cathode with low cathode
