Abstract
This paper reviews the technology and demonstrated capability of millimeter wave Extended Interaction Klystrons for the use in wide range of radar systems. It discusses design and manufacturing concepts stating self-imposed restrictions and design modifications enhancing RF performance, lifetime, reliability and extending operating frequency into the THz region. Presented data are supported using information provided by various academic and industrial customers.
