Abstract :
Multiple beam devices offer RF generation with increased efficiency and bandwidth at reduced operating voltage. Previous such devices primarily utilized Brillouin focused electron guns; however, these are limited to lower power operation. Development of confined flow multiple beam guns will allow generation of significantly higher RF power levels. Research on confined flow multiple beam guns producing 100 MW of electron beam power is presented.
