Abstract :
Iterative computational design of asymmetrical electron beam devices, such as sheet beam and multiple beam klystrons, requires 3D analysis involving complex geometries. Manual, iterative design is extremely difficult and impractical for all but the simplest devices. Computer optimization tools and techniques are described that provide automated design of these devices using common personal computers with reasonable execution times.
