Abstract :
The large-signal code TESLA (Telegraphist´s Equations Solution for Linear-beam Amplifiers) was originally developed for the analysis and design of klystrons. It has now been applied to the simulations of an extended interaction klystron (EIK) for the first time. Results for the power transfer curve and bandwidth curves computed for a G-band EIK compare well to their measured values. TESLA obtains these results almost two orders of magnitude faster than a 3D particle-in-cell simulation code.
