Abstract :
A description of beam-type amplifiers, in particular the klystron and traveling-wave tube, is developed in which the electroh stream and the circuit are treated as coupled transmission lines. The method allows the derivation of expressions for the ac power flow in both the beam and the circuit. The power flow relations are presented for the klystron and the traveling-wave tube.
