    Abstract: A radio-frequency (RF) window comprises a first flange assembly including a first flange having a first flange thickness between a first surface and a second surface, and a first waveguide channel; and a first window element having a first window thickness and disposed in the first waveguide channel at a first location; and a second flange assembly stacked against the first flange assembly, the second flange assembly including a second flange having a second flange thickness between a third surface and a fourth surface, and a second waveguide channel; and a second window element having a second window thickness and disposed in the second waveguide channel at a second location, such that when the first flange assembly is stacked against the second flange assembly the second window element has a predetermined distance to the first window element, the predetermined distance selected based on a desired frequency band of operations.

    Abstract: A cathode heater assembly for use in a vacuum electronic device comprises a refractive cup having a bottom portion and side walls forming a container; a cathode secured in the container of the refractive cup; and a heater wire coupled to the refractive cup. The cathode heater assembly may be manufactured by providing a refractive cup having a bottom portion and side walls forming a container; inserting a cathode pellet in the container of the refractive cup; impregnating the cathode pellet with electron emissive materials while the cathode pellet is in the container of the refractive cup; and attaching a heater wire to the refractive cup.

    Abstract: Vacuum electron devices (VEDs) are produced having a plurality of two-dimensional layers of various materials that are bonded together to form one or more VEDs simultaneously. The two-dimensional material layers are machined to include features needed for device operation so that when assembled and bonded into a three-dimensional structure, three-dimensional features are formed. The two-dimensional layers are bonded together using brazing, diffusion bonding, assisted diffusion bonding, solid state bonding, cold welding, ultrasonic welding, and the like. The manufacturing process enables incorporation of metallic, magnetic, and ceramic materials required for VED fabrication while maintaining required positional accuracy and multiple devices per batch capability. The VEDs so produced include a combination of magnetic and electrostatic lenses for electron beam control.

    Abstract: Vacuum electron devices (VEDs) having a plurality of two-dimensional layers of various materials are bonded together to form one or more VEDs simultaneously. The two-dimensional material layers are machined to include features needed for device operation so that when assembled and bonded into a three-dimensional structure, three-dimensional features are formed. The two-dimensional layers are bonded together into a sandwich-like structure. The manufacturing process enables incorporation of metallic, magnetic, ceramic materials, and other materials required for VED fabrication while maintaining required positional accuracy and multiple devices per batch capability.
