title = "Versatile e-beam prebuncher for FEMs and other high power beam devices",
abstract = "Beam bunching is employed in microwave tubes, FEMs and in other devices. We shall characterize and point out the advantages of using a traveling wave type prebuncher in a table-top compact FEM, which operates successfully at Tel-Aviv University in C-band and for FEMs operating anywhere in the microwave or mm wave range. Our prebuncher utilizes the e-gun and the first 2 {"}amplifier{"} sections of a 3-section Traveling Wave Tube (TWT). The 3rd {"}output{"} section was severed; an adopting flange was added to permit mounting and alignment of the prebuncher with the FEM resonator. We shall characterize the density modulation of the e-beam exiting from the prebuncher as a function of the RF power input to the prebuncher and as a function of operating frequency. This characterization is made possible by scaling from data of small signal gain, saturation gain, power output vs. power input which was measured on the 3 section TWT for a large frequency range. From this measured data, from the knowledge of the prebuncher operating parameters and from existing information regarding the behavior of TWT bunched beams in the saturation region a good estimate of density modulation vs. Input power and frequency is obtained for our prebuncher.",
