Abstract :
A radially directed rotating electron beam can be generated in a circular traveling wave resonator (TWR) sustaining a pure traveling wave. After being accelerated by a dc potential, the beam induces a traveling wave in a concentric output TWR, in which the beam energy is converted to RF with very high efficiency. Results of calculations of drive power and efficiency, as well as special matching and coupling requirements, are reviewed.
