Abstract
Experimental results from a high power (hundreds of kilovolts, multiple kiloamperes) nonlinear transmission line (NLTL) modulated electron beam driver will be presented and discussed. The experimental configuration utilized for these experiments is based on simulation work described previously by the authors [1]. Simulation results predict the ability to utilize the output of a high power NLTL to modulate GW-class electron beams up to 30% of the average beam current at the output frequency of the NLTL.
