Abstract :
This article overviews recent activities carried out in the construction and tests of a 10 kW, 6.7 GHz monotron. In addition to the monotron components- injection electron gun, cavity resonator, and output waveguide-, a hard-tube pulser with three tretrodes in parallel and able to produce negative voltages up to 30 kV/20 A from a positive DC charging power supply is also discussed.
