Abstract :
Micro-reentrant square cavities operating at high order modes have been demonstrated to be a viable solution for the realization of millimeter wave klystrons. However, the excitation of the required high order mode is a challenging task. The realization and measurement of a novel coupler for high order mode cavities is proposed.
