This paper presents the results of comparing data from three-dimensional electromagnetic modeling of two designs of double-gap photonic crystal resonators of a two-barrel multi-beam klystron operating in the X-band at an accelerating voltage of 3.6 kV. These resonators are designed to operate on the main π-type oscillation with an output power level of about 2 kW. They are characterized by different profiles of the beam-let tubes. Each of the beam-let tubes in these structures contains 19 beam c
