    Abstract: Various crossed-field amplifiers (CFAs) are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the geometry of the cathode and/or the anode reduces the velocity of the electrons as they travel near the anode drift block to increase the distribution of the electrons in the drift gap. In another embodiment, an abrupt geometric change to the cathode at the beginning or the end of the anode drift block can disperse the electrons, thereby increasing the rate of mixing and diffusion. By increasing the distribution of the electrons, the peak amplitude of spurious emissions produced by a CFA can be reduced.

    Abstract: A crossed-field amplifier is provided having a cathode structure with an emitting surface which emits secondary electrons upon impingement of priming electrons, an anode vane structure surrounding the cathode and a signal input port located adjacent the anode vanes. A secondary emission material is disposed in an area proximate the signal input port for providing priming electrons in the interaction region of the amplifier. The RF input signal causes the secondary emission material to emit priming electrons for use by the cathode structure. The creation of priming electrons in the interaction area reduces irregular start-up or "jitter" typically experienced with the amplifier at low pulse repetition frequencies.

    Abstract: The allowable gain of a crossed-field amplifier tube is increased by tapering the slow-wave interaction circuit to a smaller spatial period in the direction of circuit power flow. Concurrent variation of the electron beam drift velocity by tapering the dc electric or magnetic field further improves the gain and efficiency.

    Abstract: An injected beam crossed-field amplifier is disclosed. The crossed-field tube includes a cylindrical nonemitting cathode sole electrode structure surrounded by a concentrically disposed slow wave anode circuit to define a magnetron-type interaction region in the annular space therebetween. An electron gun assembly is disposed at one end of the magnetron interaction region for injecting a beam of electrons into the magnetron interaction region axially thereof. A beam collector structure is disposed for collecting the electron beam after passage thereof through the magnetron interaction region. Radio frequency wave energy to be amplified is applied to the annular slow wave circuit, such circuit including a circuit sever to prevent reentrance of the wave energy on the circuit and to provide a drift space for debunching of the reentrant electron beam. By passing the electron beam through the magnetron interaction region to a collector structure, the dynamic range of the amplifier is extended down well into the low input signal regime, thereby providing an extremely wide dynamic range for the amplifier.
