High Power Microwave Tubes: Basics and Trends Volume 2 (IOP Concise Physics)

Volume 2 of the book begins with chapter 6 in which we have taken up conventional MWTs (such as TWTs klystrons including multi-cavity and multi-beam klystrons klystron variants including reflex klystron IOT EIK EIO and twystron and crossed-field tubes namely magnetron CFA and carcinotron). In chapter 7 we have taken up fast-wave tubes (such as gyrotron gyro-BWO gyro-klystron gyro-TWT CARM SWCA hybrid gyro-tubes and peniotron). In chapter 8 we discuss vacuum microelectronic tubes (such as klystrino module THz gyrotron and clinotron BWO); plasma-assisted tubes (such as PWT plasma-filled TWT BWO including PASOTRON and gyrotron); and HPM (high power microwave) tubes (such as relativistic TWT relativistic BWO RELTRON (variant of relativistic klystron) relativistic magnetron high power Cerenkov tubes including SWO RDG or orotron MWCG and MWDG bremsstrahlung radiation type tube namely vircator and M-type tube MILO). In Chapter 9 we provide handy information about the frequency and power ranges of common MWTs although more such information is provided at relevant places in the rest of the book as and where necessary. Chapter 10 is an epilogue that sums up the authors attempt to bring out the various aspects of the basics of and trends in high power MWTs.
