Theoretical and experimental research on a high efficiency X-band klystron-like RBWO

In this paper, we study an X-band klystron-like relativistic backward wave oscillator (RBWO) with a pre-modulation cavity, modulation ridge, drift tube in the slow wave structure (SWS) and extraction cavity in both theoretical and experiment. PIC simulations show that the conversion efficiency can b...
