Abstract
A compact cyclotron-resonance oscillator which employs a carbon-fiber electron-gun is presented in this paper. The maser oscillates at simil ar to 3 GHz frequency near the electron cyclotron-resonance. The 2 mm diameter carbon-fiber cathode emits similar to 1 A current at similar to 1 kV voltage. The electron beam tends to be unstable. Clear bursts of RF oscillations are observed in this experiment.
