Hybrid Vircator Microwave Oscillator with a Nonlaminar Electron Beam and an Electrodynamic Section

Аннотация

A vircator-based microwave oscillator with a nonlaminar electron beam and an extended matched section of a helical slow-wave system was studied numerically and experimentally. It is shown that the oscillator efficiency in the frequency range of 1–3 GHz reaches 20%.
