The feasibility of a photonic band-gap (PBG)-based interaction structure was analytically explored for a multiple-beam extended interaction klystron amplifier. This configuration accrues the advantages of the multiple-defect PBG-based extended interaction structure and multiple-beam operation. The mode configurations were analysed through 3D electromagnetic simulation and the applicability of the photonic band-gap cavity was studied for the multiple-beam operation of an extended interaction klystron amplifier. A typical six-defect cavity operating at around 83 GHz was designed for electron–wave interaction at 2π mode with 6 electron beams each carrying 300 mA current at the accelerating potential of 16.5 kV. A particle-in-cell simulation shows that an output power of ∼2 kW is possible with electronic efficiency of around 6.7%. A frequency-scaled-down interaction structure at Ku-band was fabricated and cold measurements were carried out to ascertain the feasibility. The measured values of the frequency for various modes, loaded quality factor and 3 dB bandwidth were found to be within 0.36%, 5.3% and 4.07%, respectively, against those from the simulation.
