This paper describes a system for producing sinusoidally modulated electron beams with cancelled second-harmonic content. The system consists of a predistortion synthesizer, a high-voltage coupling transformer, and a current modulator circuit for a gridded gun. Despite the nonlinear effects inherent in electron beam transport systems, second-harmonic contamination levels at the target have been suppressed to approx.100 ppm. Such beam modulation permits sensitive measurements of the linearity of the beam--target interaction.
