| Abstract | Summary form only given. L-3 Communications continues development and testing of a moderate power helix TWT incorporating a new low-voltage high-transconductance field emitter array cold cathode developed by SRI International. The TWT employs a custom electron gun required to control the high beam space charge density created in the acceleration region between the HV cathode surface and the grounded input TWT helix. A custom FEA mounting header was also developed to correctly position the emitter within the electron gun and to allow for electrical connection to the base and gate. The TWT itself uses periodic permanent magnet focusing employing a single sever and a high power collector. The collector was redesigned to maximize pumping speed and improve overall TWT vacuum. The program goals are 100 mA operation at 100 W and 5 GHz. Additional goals include evaluating emitter operation in a TWT vacuum environment, determining lifetime issues and limitations, and evaluating the impact on FEA-generated beams on beam focus, circuit interaction, and RF noise characteristics. The Spindt-type field emitter arrays employed in this program demonstrate significantly improved emission characteristics over those used in previous FEA-TWT experiments using SRI cathodes. These cathodes are comprised of 50,000 Mo tips in a 1 mm diameter area with Fowler Nordheim coefficients of $a_{FN}$ = 0.01 $A/V^{2}$ and $b_{FN}$ = 470 V. Emission characteristics for currents up to 50 mA and cathode current densities up to 6.3 $A/cm^{2}$ have been measured and show a 63% reduction in operating voltage and a 9X increase in transconductance, dl/dV, from the previous generation of SRI emitters. Program development details and FEA TWT RF data for beam currents up to 50 mA including RF power, efficiency, small signal gain, noise power density, and noise figure will be presented. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
