	The design of klystrons is based on the intensive utilization of simulation codes, which can evaluate the complete beam-cavities interaction in the case of large signals. In the present work, we present the development of a 2-D steady state simulation code that can self-consistently evaluate the effects of the electromagnetic field on the particles and of the particles back on the field. The algorithm is based on the iterative solution of the power balance equation in the RF structures and allows determining the amplitude and phase of the electromagnetic field starting from the cavity modes. Some applications of the code to a single cavity and a two cavity klystron are presented and compared with the results obtained from other codes. The effect of the space charge forces in the klystron drift tubes is also evaluated.

The design of klystrons is based on the intensive utilization of simulation codes, which can evaluate the complete beam-cavities interaction in the case of large signals. In the present work, we present the development of a 2-D steady state simulation code that can self-consistently evaluate the effects of the electromagnetic field on the particles and of the particles back on the field. The algorithm is based on the iterative solution of the power balance equation in the RF structures and allows determining the amplitude and phase of the electromagnetic field starting from the cavity modes.
