Abstract :
Experimental results are presented for several types of superpower amplifiers using centipede, and hybIid Twystron (R) circuits. The centipede slow-wave circuit element uses a loop type of coupling from cavity to cavity. The fundamental mode is a forward wave because of the negative mutual-inductance type of coupling created by reversed loops.
