Abstract

In order to enhance the power capacity of gyro-traveling wave tube (Gyro-TWT), a novel multisectorial-tunnel circuit is presented in this article. The multisectorial tunnel could extend the transverse dimension of RF circuit for higher power electron beam transportation. The azimuthal drifting and transportation distortion performance for rotated electron beam are analyzed. A multibeam magnetron injection gun (MIG) is designed. The electron beam with pitch factor of 1.09 and axial velocity spread of 3.5% is obtained. And the designed cathode was fabricated and temperature distribution was measured. It provides a possible method to enhance the power capacity of Gyro-TWT.
