Abstract :
A W-band sheet-beam extended interaction klystron (EIK) has been fabricated and tested. The EIK integrates a 3-cavity circuit with our previously demonstrated 20-kV, 3.5-A beamstick. The EIK has produced a saturated peak output power of over 7.5 kW and a small-signal gain of almost 40 dB, in very good agreement with our simulations.
