Abstract :
A small-signal formulation is developed which is valid for multicavity klystrons with nonideal gaps. The complete one-dimensional description of modulation at the gap is given, including the modifications due to space-charge forces. Stagger-tuned amplifiers are treated by matrix and by scalar methods. Equations useful for electronic computation of response are presented. The necessity for the formulation, and its validity, are discussed.
