The authors report experiments on a 3.3 GHz Relativistic Klystron Amplifier. The MIT RKA has a compact and flexible design. The central component of this experiment is a novel compact input cavity in which an explosive erosion electron gun is embedded. The electron gun generates a 5 kA, 350 kV annular electron beam with 1.9 cm radius and 2 mm thickness. The beam is confined by a 10--17 kG solenoidal magnetic field produced by a superconducting magnet. Up to 5% of beam current modulation has been observed. Magnetic and electric probes placed along the drift tube are used to study beam bunching. Theoretical calculations and MAGIC simulations show good agreement with experimental results.
