    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.
