A vacuum tube using the velocity-jump principle was built to amplify microwave frequencies in the vicinity of 10,000 Mc./s. The design of the tube was based on a similar structure that had been built to operate at a lower frequency. A general theory previously developed for space-charge wave amplifiers was applied to the operation of the tube, in conjunction with approximations made to the theory of coupling to electron beams by means of helices. The experimentally measured gain was in moderate agreement with that predicted by this theoretical development. Conclusions are drawn regarding the operation of coupling helices, and the effect of small gaps in the amplifying section of the tube.

The dispersion characteristics and the resonant instability mode of the space-charge wave are investigated in a streaming Lorentzian dusty plasma column by using the normal mode analysis. The result shows that the non-thermal character of the Lorentzian cylindrical dusty plasma enhances the unstable property of the space-charge wave due to the beam–plasma interaction. It is found that the resonant growth rates of the space-charge wave increase with an increase of the harmonic-order of the root of the Bessel function. It is also found that the influence of the self-gravitation enhances the resonant growth rate of the space-charge wave of the Lorentzian cylindrical dusty plasma. In addition, it is found the resonant growth rate decreases with an increase of the radius of the dusty plasma column. The variation of the resonant instability mode due to the non-thermal character and geometric effects is also discussed.
