Abstract: Describes an X-band magnicon amplifier for the Next Linear Collider. Development of a scanning-beam amplifier as a high-power microwave source for use in powering next-generation high gradient electron linear accelerators; Use of an ultrahigh convergence thermionic electron gun driven by a repetition-rated modulator.
