The goal of this program was the development of a high power frequency-doubling magnicon amplifier at 11.4 GHz. The magnicon is an advanced {open_quotes}scanning-beam{close_quotes} microwave amplifier tube for use in powering future high gradient linear accelerators, such as the proposed TeV linear collider known as the Next Linear Collider (NLC). The rf source for the NLC must provide a power of 500 MW to 1 GW per tube in a 200 nsec pulse at a frequency in the range of 10-20 GHz. The required power can either be generated directly in 200 nsec pulses, or generated at longer pulse lengths (e.g., 1-2 {mu}sec) and then pulse-compressed. Because the average power required by the NLC is so large, source efficiency is a crucial consideration
