Any thoughts about what’s to be done with the electron beam? Pardon my “yahoo answers” style questioning, but it’s some pretty thick gravy trying to sort through this stuff. I’ve been reading about magnetrons, klystrons and and inductive output tubes. That must be the trick – to turn the electron beam into microwaves somehow, and then pick up the microwaves with a rectenna?
