Abstract :
We demonstrate the effectiveness of the Telegraphist´s Equations Solution for Linear-beam Amplifiers code for simulation of a range of klystron amplifier designs. Simulation results are compared to both particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations and experimental data, with good agreement obtained in each case. Specific features and optimizations included in the model are discussed and shown to allow a significant reduction in simulation times over the general PIC approach.
