Abstract

In the autoresonant peniotron interaction, all of the electrons will be able to give almost all of their kinetic energy to an electromagnetic wave, resulting in a conversion efficiency of nearly 100%, if the condition of V_p=C is satisfied in an interaction circuit and the initial velocity ratio of electrons is correctly given as a function of the electron kinetic energy. A quadrupole circuit is proposed in which the above circuit condition is usually satisfied and the RF electric field distribution in a cross section is suitable for the peniotron interaction at the fundamental cyclotron frequency. The design procedure for the test tube with the circuit and some simulation results concerned with the tube´s operation are described
