We present the initial test results of a new RF source developed for high peak power 17 GHz linear accelerator applications. The immediate objective of this program was to provide a working prototype tube having a peak power output in the range of 20 to 30 MW, a saturated gain of between 60 and 70 dB, and an RF conversion efficiency of approximately 50%. The prototype tube and associated beam focusing elements were designed to match the 580 kV, 110 A, 1 {mu}s pulse characteristics of an existing electron source at the MIT Plasma Fusion Center. {copyright} {ital 1995} {ital American} {ital Institute} {ital of} {ital Physics}.
