Relativistic elliptic electron beams have applications in the research and development of a new class of elliptic- or sheet-beam klystrons which have the potential to outperform conventional klystrons in terms of power, efficiency, and operating voltage. This paper reports on results of a small-signal analysis of space-charge waves on a relativistic elliptic electron beam in a perfectly-conducting beam tunnel. A dispersion relation is derived. A computer code is developed and used in studies of the dispersion characteristics of various relativistic elliptic electron beams.

Relativistic elliptic electron beams have applications in the research and development of a new class of elliptic- or sheet-beam klystrons which have the potential to outperform conventional klystrons in terms of power, efficiency, and operating voltage. This paper reports on results of a small-signal analysis of space-charge waves on a relativistic elliptic electron beam in a perfectly-conducting beam tunnel. A dispersion relation is derived. A computer code is developed and used in studies of the dispersion characteristics of various relativistic elliptic electron beams.
