Abstract :
A small-scale pseudospark discharge is being investigated as the electron beam source for a klystron operating at a frequency of 94 GHz, and single-gap discharge experiments have been carried out. The klystron has been designed using the particle-in-cell (PiC) code MAGIC-2D and simulated output to date looks promising.
