Abstract. S – band BAC multiple-beam klystron BT258 was developed at VDBT with support of CERN. Two samples of multiple-beam klystrons were fabricated and tested at VDBT. Maximum efficiency of 64% was obtained at an output level of 6,4 MW. The efficiency in the vicinity of 60% for one of multiple beam klystrons was successively confirmed in tests at CERN. BAC – method of electron grouping is discussed and comparison of output parameters of multuple-beam klystron with the existing classical klystrons is given in the article.

Key words: vacuum electronics, multiple-beam klystron, BAC method.
