Abstract

In a multicavity klystron amplifier, the drift-tube bore is larger (46) in proportion to the beam size (10) in the non-interacting space between gaps (28) than its size (22) at the gaps (28). This decreases the spacecharge wavelength so that the overall physical length of the klystron is shortened.
