Lebacqz, J

A description is given of a rotating beam radio-frequency amplifier, including: a cylindrical cathode having an outer curved surface for producing electrons; radio-frequency waveguide input means including means for establishing a traveling wave for forming said electrons into a beam and rotating said beam around said cathode; means for adding energy to said beam during said rotation; and output means for extracting the energy of the beam, said input and output means including waveguides that support traveling waves at a frequency that is an intergral multiple of one or more of the frequency of said established traveling wave.
