A great deal of experimental evidence shows that the perveance of high‐power klystrons is much higher than normal at low voltage. Thus the three‐halves power law is violated in that range. It is hypothesized that this is caused by edge emission. A detailed analysis is given. The calculated magnitude is reasonably coincident with experimental results. The analysis is also valid for other thermionic tubes.
