  • Abstract
    The objective of this program was to develop a highly efficient electron gun cathode for a traveling-wave tube that would provide full emission and the resulting full rf power within 4 seconds of turn-on. The electron gun also had to be highly reliable and able to withstand missile launch and flight environments.
