Abstract: My efforts to “bridge the gap” span a period of nearly 40 years and consist of over 100 courses on microwave tubes presented to well over 2000 scientists, engineers, and technicians. I developed the first five-day course for the US Navy. After several more courses, I wrote Microwave Tubes. In 1988, I developed the equivalent of a one-semester course on traveling wave tubes for the Navy and presented it several times each at Teledyne, Litton, Varian, and Hughes. In 1994, I wrote Principles of Traveling Wave Tubes, which was translated and published in Russia. I continued expanding and refining the courses and, in 2011, I wrote Klystrons, Traveling Wave Tubes, Magnetrons, Crossed-Field Amplifiers, and Gyrotrons, which was translated and published in China. Most recently, my courses have been attended by scientists and engineers from China, Sweden, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and Germany as well as the United States.
